Never Forget What You Got That Is Good

If you really want to develop more faith and devotion, then think about the great benefits and gifts you have been constantly receiving. The more you think of them, the more you feel grateful, the more you feel devoted, the more you feel love. But unfortunately, our tendency is to forget all the nice gifts, and instead to remember the one small thing that we did not get. Never forget what you received that is good, even though it is small; but don’t even remember it for a minute if somebody has done some harm to you. Even this one teaching is enough to help us to see friends, and friends, and only friends, everywhere. And that’s how you develop your devotion.
