INTRODUCTION:

When we receive something we tend to get possessive about it rather than wanting to share it. This possessiveness o block further bounties. The more we give, the more we get; sharing should happen by expressing the oneness in us that everything and everyone is part of us. This is real or purposeless love or causeless love. When we have love we cannot get irritated life is all about our beliefs. Love as much as you can, without asking for anything in return. Society never approves letting go. But have the courage to let go, share love and be happy. Real Love is something so deep, so energizing, that you will not know it unless you experience it. Real Love knows no object.

Real Love is the subject itself. We enslave the person in the name of love. If we love a person completely we will never feel guilty of missing them. True love always gives without asking. To be loving, means to become integrated. Whenever our love, or our attention becomes aligned towards something in particular. We will only be materialistic; we will be creating suffering for ourselves and for others. When you start possessing someone, you bind yourself also. When we place our attention on an object, we miss the inner experience of love that happens. Excitement or energy is related to the experience itself, not to the object. Real love simply liberates both of you. It gives freedom to you and the other person. Real love does not look for utility.

Cause them to choose non-possessiveness

Watercolor paint palette illustration
Portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

Material required:

  1. Poster paper
  1. Water colors
  1. Brushes
  1. Any other preferred art/craft materials can be used: paints, crayons, glue, paper of different colors, scissors, magazines, newspaper

Preparation:

Get all the materials together and have the children gather in a circle after discussion time.

Discussion:

Talk about our feelings when we separate ourselves as an individual drop, separate in our boundary and in our feelings. How do we feel when we are experiencing being part of the cosmic, "grand ocean", not individual drops. Express your love through a creative process, through the arts. Have an experience creating as a group, not as an individual. Let's make a collage for the topic love. Each child will add their own unique part but with the consideration that this is only a part of the whole picture/collage. Think how you can express your love using different colours or shapes etc. How can you add something to what has been already drawn or painted. Which colour or shape are you associating love with? It would be nice to use water colours, so that the colours can merge. How to come up with ideas for collage: Help children to come up with ideas by going over what they learned today and previously about LOVE. What was the most touching thing? Ask them for different words describing their emotions, understanding or experiences. Name your art project together.

Goals:

To make the children become aware of the responsibility, awareness.

Preparation:

Make the children sit in a circle with their friends. Ask the child to create or draw something about compassion.

Presentation:

Each child can use the materials available and they can make a craft or art related to compassion. Children are asked to carry the treasure they made to all the places they visit, wherever they go for nearly one week. This improves their responsibility, awareness and memory. They can term the treasure as the treasure of their inner space.

Interpretation:

Their activity enhances the children to improve their memory and inculcate responsibility and awareness.
