gratitude - from costa rica

the american thanksgiving started with a satsang and meditation at the sat institute in costa rica.............gratitude has many faces and many forms............a keen and grateful eye recognises and appreciates all those forms and faces.........the energy and smiles on the faces there, some known and some unknown contributed to the feeling, i had during and after the meditation. shunyamurti, in his guidance and during his talk (satsang) is himself an energy of gratitude................

the part that i walked away with was how conditioning blinds our inner vision..........can we observe the thoughts and behaviors that feed on the conditioning...........

.......the human mind is the only enemy to be dealt with......it requires no other ammunition than the awareness and observance of ones thoughts............a moment of pause, to give one enough time to hear oneself and see oneself, a brief moment, and then the next and the next as the awareness becomes the ally and the friend one seeks.
