The gratefulness of the mind for what makes it progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p1</ref>
===Gratitude of the Vital ===
The Ananda you describe is evidently that of the inner vital when it is full of the psychic influence and floods with it the external vital also. It is the true Ananda and there is nothing in it of the old vital nature. When the psychic thus uses the vital to express itself, this kind of intense ecstasy is the natural form it takes. This intensity and the old vital excitement are two quite different things and must not be confused together. Where there is the intensity with a pure and full satisfaction, contentment and gratitude leaving no room for claim, demand or depressing reaction, that is the true vital movement. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-vital-and-other-levels-of-being#p21</ref>
