ART OF THE DAY:
MERGING AS ONE
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Balloon Newspaper Tissue papers Glue Paper Cup Scissors Acrylic paint Decorative items
PROCEDURE: Let us make a beautiful flower vase using balloon and tissue papers.
Take a balloon and inflate it to its maximum size. Take a newspaper sheet, tear it into small pieces. Make a glue solution and soak the newspaper pieces in it. Paste the pieces on the balloon. Cover the whole balloon with at least two layers of the newspaper. Crush tissue papers and paste it on top of the coat of newspaper. Let the layers dry. Deflate the balloon by pricking it with a pin. You will get a paper mache shell. Use the base of a paper cup to draw a circle at the top and the base of the paper mache shell. Cut along the lines of the top and bottom circles to make two holes.
Insert a paper cup upside-down into the bottom hole and firmly fix the cup to the shell using glue. Now cut out the bottom of the other paper cup. Now insert the hollow paper in upright position into the top hole and firmly fix the cup to the shell using glue. Now, colour the flower vase with different acrylic paints and decorate it with embellishments as best as you can.
INFERENCE:
The real spiritual experience is when we stop experiencing i.e. the Experiencer, the Experienced and the Experience, disappear into one; all three merge into the experience. Only awareness of existence remains, all boundaries are lost!
