Swami Satchidananda
Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving Day is a special day to remember to be thankful always for all the things we have. Not just God, but to everyone. We always give and take, give and take; therefore we should be thankful to each other, and to each and every thing in Nature. And ultimately to that one great power, the one great intelligence that we call God. It's not possible for us to return in kind all that we get from Nature. How can we fulfill our obligation? It's impossible. The only way is to remember and to be grateful.
