Make the children understand about the common perception of death

Gratitude is our response to recognizing the abundance of existence. When we recognize that we are lovingly taken care of by existence every minute, we are overcome with gratitude. If you ever feel that there is something missing in life, it is because you feel less gratitude. Gratitude should become the very breath of a person. Gratitude is an energy that harmonizes you with the energy of the universe and brings back tremendous prosperity to you.

So most of us live either in denial of death or in fear of it. We think, 'why should we think about it now? We will handle it when it arrives.'

So when you radiate gratitude, your energy of fulfillment attracts fulfillment back to you in the form of material gains, good relationships, good health and so on.

Real gratitude can never have a reason. It happens as a causeless overflowing within you. This life itself is a gift that we have received.

Just for being, we should feel grateful. We ask for something or the other continuously in our minds. We have always been taught to thank only for what we receive that's all, we have been taught gratitude as social etiquette nothing more than that. We are only aware of the people who are directly responsible for providing and caring for us.

Encourage each child to draw a picture of their country. Ask them to depict their family in a pictorial format. Ask them to talk about how they feel grateful towards their country and family. In which way do they show their gratitude towards their country and family?

To make the children realize the fact that everything is a gift and that we have to show gratitude towards our body.

Receive every small thing in life as a gift, for example: When you take your plate to eat, see the plate as a gift. We never see things as gifts. Everything is taken for granted. We only look at those who have a diamond ring on their finger. We never look at those who don't have fingers that is the problem, which is why we don't feel anything in our life is a gift.

When we start feeling grateful for small things, our whole sensitivity will increase. We will become more refined. Our whole attitude towards life will move to a different plane. Remember the person who is not thankful for small things will never be thankful for big things either. Even big things, will be taken for granted.

Currently, we feel we have a right to everything that we receive because of this attitude, we miss seeing the benevolence of existence.
