Through the growth of knowledge and by selfish emotions, people have been polluting this universe, this very nature. We are now experiencing the consequences of that pollution. Sufferings like global warming are nothing but the results of the deeds we ourselves have done.
Therefore, O Lord, hereafter I resolve that I shall not bring heat to this Earth by my actions; I shall not cause negative effects to my family, my community, my nation, or my world. For my family, I will fulfill the duties that are mine; for my community, the duties that I can; for my nation, the duties that I can; and for my world, the duties that I can. Today I make this resolve.
From this day forward, every day shall be a day of joy. From this day forward, every day shall be a day filled with gratitude. Hour by hour, minute by minute, I shall live without forgetting gratitude.
"எந்நன்றி கொன்றார்க்கும் உய்வுண்டாம் உய்வில்லை
செய்நன்றி கொன்ற மகற்கு" (திருக்குறள் 110)
O Lord, though You have bestowed countless blessings upon me, by my mistakes and sorrows I forgot all the good that You have done. You have granted me countless graces, yet I failed to remember them. I thought only of my pain and hardship, and I forgot Your gifts of grace.
You are Infinite, Boundless and unparalleled!
You gave me good land, You gave me pure water, You gave me sweet fruits; in everything, You gave only the good. And yet, I forgot You! Today, I recall all Your blessings.
In our prayers there must be gratitude, and in our resolves there must be faith.
Let Wisdom Flourish!
Let Peace Prevail!
Let us protect Mother earth!
Let us protect the Universe!
