      A very sincere prayer Sandeep ji. Thank you. I also pray the same for myself.

    Swami ji has given us mantra to remain grateful in whatever situation we are in. Thank you so much,

      Well said Rajeev.

    A very deep and alarming wisdom from HH Radhanath Swami. I never thought so far that ingratitude is such a dangerous vice of all the vices. However, after pondering on this wisdom it really seems to be the dangerous most because when we are not grateful for what we have, we may tend to develop a feel of being in control and that may further lead us to all the other vices. Many thanks for publishing this wisdom.

        Thank you Keshav ji for encouragement.

      Agreed Piyush Ji, this will give us impetus to think in right direction to be grateful for every small and big thing we have in life.

        Thank you Rajeev ji for agreeing.

    Radhanath Swami also often says – “If you are not grateful, you are great fool!” . Thank you Radhanath Swami for this very important insight.

      Thanks Vinay for sharing this. I also heard this from him elsewhere and this is very striking.

    Humble question to you Swami Ji, I was really inspired to see this quote, while trying to imbibe it in my own life I could see that mind naturally is becoming judgemental to judge others basis this principle – instead of diving deep into my own consciousness and applying it to myself only. Please tell me how can I practice this principle in my own life and do not apply it to others.

    • Piyush Singh March 1, 2016 - 4:55 pm

      A very genuine question Rajeev, actually this happens to me as well. However, what I heard in one of the lectures is that we learn the etiquette to improve our own self and not to judge others. So it is something to practice at our own level.

    Wonderful quote. Thank you very much

    The background picture is so appropriate for the quote…….! Incredible message…!

      Yes Keshav ji, the background image just fits well with this wisdom. With ingratitude, we dry like these dry leaves.

    This wisdom really inspires to feel grateful as if not grateful then one is great fool, I heard this also somewhere from HH Radhanath Swami.
