DO YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL AND FEEL OBLIGED?

When you are on a spiritual path, you are not thankful or obliged to anybody. In the Gita, Krishna says, "He is dear to Me who neither goes on thanking people nor hates anyone (Na abhinandati na dveshthi)."
Thanking and feeling obliged indicates that you believe in some one else's existence rather than in the Divine who is ruling everything. When you feel obliged, then you are not honoring the principles of karma or the divine plan.

Appreciate people for what they are, do not thank them for what they do. Otherwise your thankfulness is centered around ego. You are grateful, but not for an act. You are grateful for what is. As every individual is nothing but a puppet of the ONE, thanking and being obliged is simply an exhibition of ignorance. Everything is ruled, controlled and managed by one Divinity, that consciousness has to shine forth in every act of yours; you do not have to make a mood of it.
Q: Guruji, we are so grateful to you, what should we do?
Sri Sri: When you have a total sense of belonging, then gratefulness does not become an obligation. Such gratefulness is for the Divine only, which enhances strength.

क्या तुन्हें कृतज्ञ और आभारी होना चाहिए?
जब तुम आध्यात्मिक पथ पर हो तुम किसी के भी प्रति कृतज्ञ या आभारी नही होते। गीता में कृष्ण कहते है, “वह मुझे प्रिय है जो न लोगो का आभारी है और न ही उसे किसी से द्वेष है ( न अभिनंदति न द्वेष्टि)
कृतज्ञ और आभारी अनुभव करना यह प्रदर्शित करता है कि तुम्हे ईश्वर की सर्वशक्ति की अपेक्षा किसी और कि सत्ता पर विश्वास है। जब तुम आभारी अनुभव करते हो तब तुम ईश्वर की परियोजना और कर्म के सिद्धांतों का सम्मान नही करते।
लोग जो है, उसकी प्रशंसा करो, परंतु उनके कृत्यों के लिये आभार प्रकट मत करो। अन्यथा तुम्हारी कृतज्ञता अहंकार पर केंद्रित है। कृतज्ञ रहो, परंतु किसी कृत्य के प्रति कृतज्ञ मत हो। जो सर्वत्र विध्यमान है उसके लिए कृतज्ञ रहो। क्योकि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति कुछ नही है केवल उस “एक” हई के हाथों की कठपुतली है। कृतज्ञ और आभारी होना एकमात्र अज्ञानता का ही प्रदर्शन है। प्रत्येक वस्तु एक ही दिव्य शक्ति के द्वारा शासित, नियंत्रित व संचालित है। उस चैतन्य की चमक तुम्हारे हर कर्म में बिना प्रयास के ही प्रकट होनी चाहिए।उसे कोई भाव बनाने की आवश्यकता नही।
प्रश्न- गुरुजी, हम आपके प्रति बड़े कृतज्ञ है हमे क्या करना चाहिए?
श्री श्री: पूर्ण अपनत्व की भावना में कृतज्ञता बोझ नही लगती। ऐसी कृतज्ञता केवल ईश्वर के लिए है और तुम्हारे मनोबल में वृद्धि होती है।
