Jain philosophy of thanks giving
From preaching by pankaj bhai what I understood the topic is be thankful to all creatures on the planet as everybody does a favour on us.

a shlok written by jain saint uma swami that means "sab jeev ek doosre par upkar karte hai"
every soul on the earth depends on another soul.But human being is one that thinks he does all the favour on other animals by giving them security ,food ,shelter.
Have you ever been thankful to shatkaya jeev (pritvikayik ,jal kayik,agni kayik,vayu kayik,vanaspati kayik means earth,water,fire,air and plants respectively )also known as sthavar jeev in jain philosophy implies that species with only one sense organ(touch) as their body and they feel the sense of touch only.
but what do they do for us is literally unknown to us .For example the earth on which we are sitting,land that feed us with food to eat by agriculture ,gold silver that makes us look beautiful has been taken out from mines are indirectly favours done upon us by prithvi kayik jeev by sacrificing himself.but we have never thanked them nor blessed them good health because human being is most selfish creature on the earth.Likewise jal kayik jeev gives us life that is water to drink ,water to do domestic chores ,and many more but we never thanked water for his favour .moreover 65%of our body is water and 65% of the earth is water.without water we do not think for one second .Do we ?Just imagine one hour spent in sandy rajasthan without water in the temperature of 45 degree..You immediately start saying thankyou to the person who will bring water but water deserves your gratitude.
similarly Have you imagined hindu,jain marriage I.e.Phere without fire or pious sanskaar without home havan .No na, because this is the favour of agni kayik jeev on us.Agneekayik jeev is giving us agni to cook food to see the things without sunlight. Every one from sthavar jeev issacrificing their life to give us good life but we never ever thanked them or being kind towards them. Without breathing air we will die and vanaspati that is fruits vegetables,cereals are part of our daily routine life.Still we are ignoring these species.Be thankful and blessed them pray for them everyday.
Develop the habit and you will feel a drastic change in your life.
But what we do we cut trees clear land for our greed of land,we pollute air throwing carbon dioxide by industrialization,fashion ,non vegetarian food style and so many other ways and thus ignore vayukayik jeev,by polluting water we are hurting marine animals along with water bodies forgetting their favour upon us. Misusing water in every step of life just for our comfort.We say we are most literate among all species than how could it be possible to say us literate.Think once before doing. Single act that will be your true samayik.
