You’re very lucky. You know everything – spiritual blessing, sunshine blessing, wind blessing, tree blessing, animal blessing. Every day, thank everything. Because even if you don’t thank them, they also don’t care, but the more grateful you are, the more you get. You know why? Not because they give less, but because you’re grateful and then your attitude changes. You’re humble, you see, and your vibration changes; you go to a higher level. And the higher you go, the more blessing you can absorb. That’s it. So, gratefulness doesn’t mean that the animals or the trees or the sun or the deities really need you to say thank you in order to give more. It’s not like that; they don’t care. They give without condition. Animals, trees, and plants, they give without condition. But the more grateful we are, the more they’re in tune with you and with all that surrounds us, and are blessing us because we’re humble. Humble means no ego; no ego means the divinity shines more. The divine within you is more, a higher percentage than the ego, so you’re more connected with goodness and divinity, and you get more blessing. The condition is in the heart.
