Core Insight:
According to Osho, gratitude is not thankfulness directed to an outer giver; that is mere gratefulness, a response to desire being gratified. True gratitude has no object—outer or inner. It arises spontaneously like a fragrance when all desires subside and one’s being flowers into awareness. As a by-product of awakening, it radiates as love, compassion, bliss, and ecstasy.
