WORKSHOP OF THE DAY: VAAKYARTHA SADHAS

Encourage the children to hold Vaakyartha sadhas on: “Humans are different. They bypass signals from their body, refuse to accept what Nature tries to tell them and indulge in or avoid activities or objects based on their logic. Logic overriding Nature always leads to suffering.”

Help the children recall an incident when they themselves or someone they know indulged in something or avoided something based on their logic, and that led to suffering. What was Nature trying to tell them? Were they acting out of attachment and aversion, or both? For example, a child stayed up late at night even though their body was tired and they were yawning. They suffered the next morning by being grumpy, or by falling asleep in class and the other children laughed at them. They acted from attachment because they wanted to watch TV.

Conclusion:
We cannot know Kṛṣṇa
unless we are in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness. True Kṛṣṇa
consciousness needs no
words. In fact, it has no
words because the
experience is beyond
expression
