In the Gita, thank you is expressed through gratitude, surrender and service.

Devotional offerings: Offering simple things—a leaf, fruit, flower or water—with love constitutes thanks. – Bhagwad Gita 9.26

Surrender (Sharan Gati): Recognize all blessings come from the Divine and returning to Him is the highest form of appreciation. – Bhagwad Gita 18.62

Recognizing the Divine Spark: Seeing God in all beautiful settings. – Bhagwad Gita 10.41

Gratitude is not just a positive emotion; it is a reminder that goodness exists in the world and that the presence of Divinity is everywhere.

• How do you feel, when you offer a flower at the altar?
• How do you feel when you verbally thank someone who serves and praise them?
• How do you feel when you gift a charity?

This is all your gratitude which is coming into play. The most important feature of your gratitude is your awareness of the Divine.
