Acknowledgement, not thanks, makes love grow
The talk distinguishes shallow thanks from living acknowledgement, which ripens into gratitude—the true prayer that gives of itself and returns as more love in children, partners, and daily work.
'If you are unhappy in your life, it's because you are not being acknowledged.'
'God needs acknowledgement. Nature needs acknowledgement. Everything needs acknowledgement, just as you and I do.'
'It is life's pleasure that you enjoy yourself.'
'God does not understand you. God knows you.'
