Gratitude and Praise
Psalm 100
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye earth. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”
Quran 1:1-7 (Al-Fatiha - The Opening)
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone do we worship and You alone do we turn to for help.”
Bhagavad Gita 10:8
“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly engage in My devotional service and surrender all their lives to Me are certainly the best among all yogis.”
Dhammapada 197
“Reverence for the Awakened One, reverence for the Teaching, reverence for the Sangha—this is the highest reverence. Practicing in this way, free from delusion, one is reborn in a higher realm.”
Guru Granth Sahib p.2 (Gurbani - The Guru's Word)
“I bow to the Eternal One, the Creator of all. I meditate on His Name. The Merciful One created all beings. Bowing, bowing, I praise His infinite glory.”
Psalm 34:1-3
“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.”
