Discussion topic:
#1: We cannot evolve unless there
is a fundamental change in our
thinking. We have come to a stage
where negative qualities are the
hallmark of respectability.

#2: How can we call a society
advanced or progressive when its
main criterion for respect is
money?

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:

VAAKYARTHA SADHAS

You can ask students questions such as: Describe what you see as an advanced or progressive society. What happens when a society is centered around money? Why are people so interested in money? What happens when we focus on what is perishable? What are things that are imperishable? What do you respect most in your life?
