When you see somebody swimming, you understand three things. The first thing is that swimming is possible, that a man can float on water. Secondly, you have a tremendous urge, 'If he can do it, why not me? Why can't I? I can too.' The third thing is, 'Let me jump in!' You get inspiration and courage!

In the same way, when you see an enlightened being walking on planet earth, when you live around him, you also understand three things. The first thing is that enlightenment is possible. You can live like god on this planet earth. The next thing is, 'If he can attain enlightenment, why not me?' because he radiates such simplicity and ordinariness, which is close to your own human nature. You naturally get confidence that it is possible for you too. The third thing is courage, 'Let me jump in!' All these three will happen only if you live around an enlightened master and continuously watch his body language. Nothing else can trigger this in you.

We learnt how to add years

to the life, but we have not

learnt the science of how to

add life to the years.

ART OF THE DAY

ART OF THE DAY SENSORY DRAWING

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Different poster colors

Dried leaves

Sand

Glue

PROCEDURE:

Encourage the children to stick the outline of any picture with sand. Mix different textured materials with different poster colors for example mix blue color with sand, mix dried leaves powder with red color. Now children can do sensory painting by doing finger painting without seeing. They have to dip their fingers in the different textured poster colors and color the picture without seeing the picture.

ART OF THE DAY

SENSORY DRAWING

INFERENCE:

For doing this art one must be aware, focus on the activity. Only by awareness they can do the painting correctly within the outline by using the correct colors and color appropriately. Being aware, doing the right things, and surrendering to the cosmos enlightenment means all these three things.

ENLIGHTENMENT
IS A QUANTUM
LEAP

INTRODUCTION:

We are always near enlightenment. That is the important thing. We are always near to enlightenment. It is a very foolish and wrong idea to think that one person is closer. to enlightenment than another. There are mainly two categories, either you are enlightened or not, that's all. If you are not yet enlightened, then be very clear, you are as close to enlightenment as all others in your category.

Even if you are 99.9 percent enlightened, you are not! Enlightenment is a complete and total change. It is just as water becomes steam only at 100 degrees Celsius, even at 99 degrees it is still only water, never steam. Only at the 100th degree does it become steam. At any point in time, it is either water or steam, never both. Even hot water can put out a fire. That means it still carries the quality of water, not steam.

Can you put out a fire with steam? No. So even though it is hot water, it can only have the quality of water. In the same way, at any point in time, you can be either enlightened or not, never both and never 'nearly'. Enlightenment is not a continuity of yourself. It can never be a development of yourself. It is a quantum leap, not a continuity.

GOALS:

To make the children
understand about the topic of
quantum leap.

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY

EXPLANATION:

Explain to the children about delayed gratification. Delayed gratification was related to people being assertive, self-reliant, trust worthy, dependable, eager to learn, able to cope with frustration and more competent academically, encourage the children to discuss about when all they exhibited delayed gratification. For example: Children can share their experiences like when there was a quiz program in the class I waited for my turn to answer even tough I know the answer I did not jump out with answers.

INFERENCE: Delayed gratification is an important quality that one can possess. Only when a person has real trust and purity in inner space he can exhibit delayed gratification.

EXPERIENCE
THE LIMITLESS
CONTINUUM

INTRODUCTION:

Living with the limitless continuum is enlightenment. The limitless continuum will happen when you relax from the identities you hold of yourself in the outer and inner worlds. If you are settled in that limitless continuum and are able to be active, you are living enlightenment. If you are not able to settle down in it, but you had at least one experience of it, then you have experienced satori.
