Space
Space
Dear sweet children!,
Close your eyes and imagine. Have you ever felt as big as the sky? Well, you are larger and brighter even than the sky. You are an important part of God’s being.
You are walking in a garden. It is very beautiful. The birds are singing, chirping, flying and are very happy. A cool breeze is flowing and gently touching you with love. You look at the sky. What a beautiful sky!
The space was created by God. It vibrates with ‘Pranava’ sound of ‘Aum’. You shout, speak, sing and cry. Where does it go? It goes into the space. Space accepts everyone’s word whether rich or poor, weak or strong.
The sky is inviting all the living beings to float high and enjoy. The sun is glowing and shining with its rays of light and love. Spread both of your hands and heart to all the people, birds, animals, planets, fishes, rocks and so on to share your love!
As space accommodates everything, let your heart encompass every being. Be still in this happy and joyful feeling Express your gratitude to Lord and slowly come back to yourself and open your eyes.
Class discussion:
The path of Serenity – Lessons from the Sky (Aakash)
Gaze up at space and watch all the formations of the clouds, the stars, etc. Beyond them is the sky, always serene. The sky has no boundaries and remains unaffected. So is the real Me in man, what we call the soul. It remains calm, unaffected, silent…let us listen to the soul.
Questions:
- What did you see in the space?
- Who created space for whom?
