WORKSHOP OF THE DAY: VAAKYARTHA SADHAS

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION:

The Universe operates on the principle of abundance. There is no shortage of anything in the Universe. What we need, we get. The trouble is that we are dissatisfied with what we need. Our wants are immeasurable. Great Masters have said that it is possible for the Universe to fulfill the needs of all the people on planet Earth, but not the wants of one single person. Our greed has no limits.

YOU CAN ASK STUDENTS QUESTIONS SUCH AS:

Why do Great Masters say that it is possible for the Universe to fulfill the needs of all the people on planet Earth, but not the wants of one single person?

Where does greed come from?

What is the difference between “needs” and “wants”?

Why do we experience dissatisfaction?

Why do we continuously want more and more?

At the end of the discussion, ask the students to write a short essay sharing about their understanding of the principle of abundance; how there is no shortage of anything in the Universe.
