We live in a world that’s always chasing upgrades. A newer phone, a faster car, and so much more. In the process, it’s easy to forget the things we already have, things that money can’t buy. That’s such a given to all of us!
But Gunatitanand Swami reminds us of this truth, “No amount of money can buy eyes, ears, or other sense organs, yet God has given them to us freely. Still, the jiva (soul) remains ungrateful.”
Every morning we wake with miracles all around us. Sight, sound, breath, and a beating heart. All of these come without effort, and we treat them like background noise. We take them for granted, overlook them, keep looking for more, instead of seeing what’s right here, all along!
Gratitude is not about collecting. It is about noticing. It is about appreciating. It is about cherishing. The eyes that let us see the world, the ears that hear laughter, these are treasures beyond price. When we shift our focus from what’s missing to what’s present, life itself feels more abundant.
So today, before asking for anything else, pause. Look around. Feel your breath. Notice your heartbeat. Realize that you already carry within you more than money could ever buy.
