WORKSHOP OF THE DAY

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:

VAAKYARTHA SADHAS

Hold Vaakyartha sadhas on "the senses are superior to the body. The mind is superior to the senses. The intelligence is still higher than the mind and the consciousness is even higher than intelligence". Let the children discuss ways that their consciousness can help their intelligence, their intelligence can help their mind, their mind can help their senses, and their senses can help their body.

Conclusion: Be complete and drop your attachment to the goal and the fruit of your actions, and live an enriching life with integrity in words, with authenticity in thinking and action.
