Gratitude & Religion & Spirituality…!!

In our last blog we spoke about Gratitude and everything its about. Today lets go into a little more details on the effects that Gratitude has over people.

Gratitude is a very strong emotion. Having the “Attitude of Gratitude” helps in many ways. The research on Gratitude has been happening since thousands of years and people have come up with different perspectives too.

It is said that, people who are spiritual are more drawn to being more grateful and vice versa. Gratitude is viewed as a prized human propensity in the Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, and Baha’i traditions. Worship with gratitude to God is a common theme in such religions and therefore, the concept of gratitude permeates religious texts, teachings, and traditions. For this reason, it is one of the most common emotions that religions aim to provoke and maintain in followers and is regarded as a universal religious sentiment

Many religions as mentioned above refer to gratitude as the need to be thankful for a higher power. They said that, making gratitude as an integral step, one is on the path to a good life. To speak of a few, in Judaism, gratitude is an essential part as thy strongly believe that everything comes from God. Like, for instance the followers of Yahweh are encouraged to start every day by being grateful for waking up again.

Same way in Christianity, Gratitude has been said to mold and shape the entire Christian life. Martin Luther referred to gratitude as “The basic Christian attitude” and today it is still referred to as “the heart of the gospel.” All Christians are strongly inclined towards being grateful to the creator i.e. God who is the selfless giver of all good things.

Just like the above there have been a lot of religions that have promoted Gratitude like Hinduism, Buddhism, Islamic etc.
