Introduction: Introduce to the children the new topic of unfulfillment

Goals: To make the children understand about the topic of unfulfillment.

Click: By very nature we seek fulfillment in anything we do.

About the topic: If we are able to truly manage our mind with the understanding that it is our mind that connects thoughts to form shafts of pain and pleasure we can stay in mindfulness. We can stay in awareness and in the present moment. It is our thought process that constantly takes us from past to future and back again and does not allow us to rest in the present moment. When we are in the present moment we can stay out of trouble without fear and desire. We can act without fear and desire. It is the intelligence of the energy that is within and without us that makes it possible for us to live and grow. We live not because of us but in spite of us. When we act without attachment, there is no consequence of our actions. There is no unfulfillment arising from our actions whether it is eating, drinking, jumping, in any activity that we engage , our being yearns to completely experience the activity and be fully involved in it.

When you are not completely aware and involved in the action you are engaged in, your being remains unfulfilled in that experience. The unfulfilled experience remains inside you and keeps pulling you to do the action again with intensity to fulfill it. Anything that we do and experience intensely and deeply will always leave our system. It will liberate us.
