ART OF THE DAY:

LIGHT DISSOLVES DARKNESS

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Real leaves Crayons or oil pastels Paper (preferably thin or lightweight)

PROCEDURE: Place a leaf with its bottom side facing up on your desk. Put a sheet of paper over the leaf. Rub the side of a crayon or an oil pastel gently on the area over the leaf. As you do this, you'll see the colored areas start to take the shape of the leaf. Continue until you've rubbed over the entire leaf. Repeat with other colours.

INFERENCE: Saṃskāras or root thought patterns are products of darkness, our unconscious. Darkness has no existence of its own. It only exists when there is no light. We cannot create darkness. It is the absence of something. The presence of light dissolves darkness. The presence of awareness of completion, our frequency of consciousness destroys saṃskāras.

procedure

Let's find a creative way to convey an important message. Three to four persons (Actors) from the group shall come in front of the group and enact the idea below in a play format. Actors may use props and placards to explain the following idea clearly and powerfully: There are two frequencies inside you. You have a frequency of consciousness in you, which has energy of its own. And you have the frequency of mind in you. The frequency of the mind is the pattern, incompletion, suffering present in you. The mind has no energy of its own, it only reflects either the frequency of your consciousness or the frequency of your mental patterns.

INFERENCE:

Awareness destroys mental patterns, and you start radiating at the frequency of your consciousness alone.
