INTRODUCTION TO ATTENTION NEED

INTRODUCTION:
Introduce to the children about their castle.
GOALS:
To make the children understand about their castle.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
People who suffer from
depression are actually suffering
from attention need.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:
When you are dependent on external sources for energy, you become psychologically handicapped. When you need physical support, you are physically handicapped. When you need psychological support, you are psychologically handicapped. We build our own self-image like a castle, out of people's opinions of us. We collect certificates or signatures from our father, mother, teacher, friends and what not, and arrange all these certificates and build a castle to form our self image. The image will look beautiful and we will feel happy. But if even one person withdraws their certificate, what happens? The castle collapses! You start feeling miserable about yourself. You feel depressed. You feel that the whole world has come to an end.


ABOUT THE TOPIC:
At least in the case of the children, they build their castles with their own cards. But we build our castles with others' cards, with others' certificates! We don't have control over the castle because it is built with other people's certificates. We start working hard in maintaining the castle; in guarding it well. We start behaving in such a way that people don't remove their certificates. We start doing things to get their continuous approval, because their approval has become our very survival. People who suffer from depression are actually suffering from attention-need


OBJECTIVES
¤ When we become
psychologically handicapped?
¤ When you are physically
handicapped?
¤ What castle do we all build?
¤ When will our castle collapse?
¤ When you feel depressed?

OTHERS ARE NOT THE SOURCE OF YOUR ENERGY


INTRODUCTION
Introduce to the children about not making others the source of your energy
GOALS
To make the children understand there will be no end when you start expecting from other people.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
We need to stop asking and start
giving.

ABOUT THE TOPIC
When you start expecting from other people, there will be no end to it. The most difficult thing is to satisfy all the people around you. Never. It is the most impossible thing to do on planet earth. It is never possible to make another totally happy! First of all, Try to satisfy yourself; find fulfillment in yourself. That is enough. And let this fulfillment have nothing to do with the people around you. Let it be just a bubbling energy inside you, irrespective of the conditions and people outside. That is enough. It is good to do something for others; it is good to give attention, give respect- but out of a deep energizing love, not out of fear; not because we are afraid that they will take away their certificates.

We need to stop asking and start giving. We need to radiate energy instead of asking for energy. But we don't even know how to shift the focus from us to the other. We are so used to seeing ourselves as the center of attention. We need to start seeing the world outside as the center of attention. It is not worth investing so much in others' opinions that they become the center of your life. Don't make others the source of your energy. all of us seeking attention all the time. And when we don't get it, we are upset. This is the root cause for all anger, disappointment and frustration in our lives.

OBJECTIVES
¤ When there will be no end?
¤ Which is the most difficult
thing to do?

WORRYING
BECOMING
PART OF
YOUR NAME

INTRODUCTION:
Introduce the children about real love
GOALS:
To make the children understand real love.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
There is absolutely no room for conditioning in real love

ABOUT THE TOPiC
Real love is something so deep, so energizing, that you will not know it unless you experience it. Love is an expression of energy, not something that is transacted. You can love the trees on the road, you can caress them and feel the energy flow from you. You can love people whom you pass by on the road without even knowing them. Love is actually your very being, not a distilled quality that you possess. Nothing is as misconstrued as love is today. Today, love is more of a transaction. If someone says something nice to you, you love him; tomorrow if the same person falls short of it, you don't love him that much or you probably hate him. Real love knows no object. It is simply there whether there is an object or not. Real love is the subject itself. It does not know any object. You are the subject and you have become love, that's all.

ABOUT THE TOPIC
You are the subject and you have become love, that's all. Any object that comes in touch with it, feels it. Just like a river flows naturally and people enjoy it at the different places that they encounter it, real love exudes from a person and the people around him will be able to feel it. There is absolutely no room for conditioning in real love. The energy in you should overflow and express itself as love. It is then that you can break through the highly knotted boundaries of relationships and express yourself beautifully, as a loving being! When you are able to love without a reason, you will expand like anything. Your world will suddenly seem larger than life. It will be so ecstatic. You will become an energy source to yourself and to others. You will be so overflowing that the energy in you has to touch others. There is no other way. Others will be naturally drawn to you.


OBJECTIVES
What is real love?
Which is an expression of energy?
Which cannot be transacted?
Where there is no room for conditioning?
When will you expand like anything?
When will others be continuously drawn to you?

INTRODUCTION
LEARN TO LOVE AND RESPECT

INTRODUCTION:
Teach the children about love and respect
GOALS:
To make the child understand about love and respect
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Respect is not love.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:
We all confuse love with respect. When
you love totally, nothing that you do
can appear disrespectful. You see, when
you closely observe respect, you will
find that when certain people do
certain things, it appears absolutely
normal, while the same thing, when
some other person does it, appears
disrespectful. The energy behind the
person doing the act is what causes the
act to seem respectful or disrespectful.
When the energy behind you is total,
when you are just a loving energy, you
can get away with anything. When you
are not sure of yourself, you will get
caught with the problems of respect.


ABOUT THE TOPIC:
If you get caught with respect instead of love, you are missing the whole thing. Then instead of being loving, you will start pretending, and when you pretend, you are not total. When you are centered in respect, you will pretend because respect is societal and it keeps changing in its definition. But if you are centered in love, then respect becomes a pleasant by product. So center yourself in love and respect will automatically happen. Respect is dead. Love is alive. Respect creates a distance; Love knows no distance.


OBJECTIVES
¤ What is Respect?
¤ Is respect and love same or different?
¤ When you can get away from anything?
¤ When will you get caught with the problems of respect?

LEARN TO LOVE GOD

INTRODUCTION
Introduce to the children about loving God
GOALS
To make the children understand to love God.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Children are still centered in
themselves and they are more
alive and alert than adults.

ABOUT THE TOPIC
People are trained to be so fearful and respectful of God. They are never taught to love God. They are not allowed to touch the idols in the temples. They are expected to stand at a distance and bow down. They are taught to be wary of God. Understand, the first thing that children should be taught is to love God. If you cannot embrace God, there is nothing left to embrace, because God is everything! When you teach your child that you cannot embrace God, you are actually teaching him that God is different from the rest. By putting God on a pedestal, you are actually alienating the child from the whole of Existence. Children are still centered in themselves and they are more alive and alert than us.
Their innocence, their love, their body language speaks for them, not their words. Because of this, whatever they say or do always seems innocent, never disrespectful. Once the mind steps in with societal conditionings, this innocence disappears. Then we have to make it up with words and pretensions. When love becomes a duty, it becomes a burden. And when it becomes a burden, it is not more a celebration; you will be under pressure always to keep it up

OBJECTIVES
¤ What are people trained for?
¤ Children are centered on
whom?
¤ Who are more alive and alert
than adults?
¤ Why children are innocent?

WHAT iS
TRUE LOVE?

INTRODUCTION:
Introduce to the children about true love
GOALS:
To make the children understand about true love
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
True love always gives without asking

ABOUT THE TOPiC
Parents teach children reasons to love. From a young age, love is taught with a reason. If you teach them to embrace nature, you are sowing the seeds of real love in them. If you see, when you have loved totally, you will never feel guilty or sad when a person dies. You may feel sad at the physical separation, but you will never feel that you have missed anything when they were living. Family always instills guilt in you so that it can have control over you. Guilt is nothing but a hangover or many kinds of emotions because you did not explore the emotion in totality. Never allow guilt to possess you. True love always gives without asking. It does not know any 'take'. It knows only 'give'. And you cannot create it either. It is like this: you can create a plastic rose but will it have the fragrance of the real rose? No! In the same way, true love can never be created


For the real rose to happen, you need to create the right condition, the right soil, the right amount of water, and then it will happen on its own. Likewise, for true love to happen, you can create awareness, clarity and a deep understanding within yourself, and it will blossom from inside you.
OBJECTIVES
Who teaches children reasons to love?
When you will never feel guilty or sad when a person dies?
What is guilt?
What gives always without asking?
Can love be created?

EXISTENCE FLOWS THROUGH YOU WHEN YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

INTRODUCTION:
Introduce to the children that existence will automatically flow through you when you take up responsibility
GOALS:
To make the children understand about existence and responsibility
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Love and responsibility always go hand in hand

ABOUT THE TOPIC
Love and responsibility always go hand
in hand. When you truly love, you will
take up total responsibility as well.
People think that sannyasis are those
who run away from responsibility.
Understand: When you forego
responsibility towards your own family,
you are taking up responsibility for a
much bigger family, for humanity at
large, for a family which is millions of
times bigger than your own. People
don't understand this and they simply
criticize. Responsibility is something
that can be easily shrugged. The more
responsibility you take up, the more
you expand and the divine energy will
automatically flow in you!

ABOUT THE TOPiC
When you feel that you are responsible for the pain around you, you will automatically stand up to help reduce it in some way or the other. People often think that it is enough if they do things for their own family. This is a way of contraction, not expansion. You need to expand for growth to happen. Existence will automatically flow through you when you take up responsibility. Love as much as you can, without asking for anything in return. .loving for a reason is not love; it is just a business deal. When you can love without a reason, when you can love anything and anyone that comes your way, you will release tremendous energy and beauty. You will appear beautiful irrespective of whether you are physically beautiful or not.


OBJECTIVES
• Is loving for a reason is love?
• Which is a business deal?
