"Gratitude has nothing to do with gratefulness for the good that comes to us. Like everything else in the spiritual life, God is not only universal, but impersonal, in the sense that God is no respecter of persons and never has sent anything to you or to me or given anything to you or to me. All that God has is ours, but if we were to claim that for ourselves alone, we would perhaps lose it. When I say, 'All that the Father has is mine,' I mean that that same allness is yours and everyone else’s. The fact that all the people in the world are not recipients of that good is because of their unawareness – their lack of conscious recognition – of this truth." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "The Contemplative Life" Return to the 2010 Weekly Passage Archive Page |
