We must appreciate what we have, primarily because we must realize that it is because of our own deeds, our own karma. Whatever is happening to us, whatever has been received by us, is not just God directly giving us prasadam. God has created certain laws to govern this world. And God has given us an intellect as human beings to overcome ignorance, to realize the truth. It is for us to realize that we are blessed, to appreciate the five senses and most importantly, appreciate the gift of the intellect which is unique in human beings. If we do not accept without protest what is happening, we will only live this granted life and we will suffer not just as we live on earth, but we will return in a rebirth to suffer again. When we accept, when we surrender, when we are enlightened with the truth, then we will be liberated and united with the Divine.
