The Net of Gratitude
Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the abundance itself.
Should one who is absorbed with the Generous One be distracted by the gift?
Thankfulness is the soul of beneficence;
Abundance is but the husk,
For thankfulness brings you to the place where the Beloved lives.
Abundance yields heedlessness;
Thankfulness brings alertness.
Hunt for bounty with the net of gratitude.
- Rumi
