Ignorance means believing that floating in the past and future is relaxation and being in the present is a stressful effort. If we stop the past being projected into the future, you will be relieved from worry. If we stop the projection of the future into past, we will be relieved from greed. The best way to come out of stress is to take the whole world and life lightly. Life is not worthy of suffering. Life is to live joy fully and lightly. Inner space is very important for us. External things must not spoil our inner space

Acceptance will give the clarity. When you participate in every activity, every moment - when we are in the present our thoughts per second will be at a minimum. Connecting the unconnected – the low mood that we experienced ten years ago, the low mood that we experienced eight years ago and the low mood that we experienced yesterday are completely unconnected and independent incidents. All those happened for different purposes, different reasons, different times and situations. But we connect all those unconnected incidents and say "my life itself is a depression".

We have to understand that it is only what we believe to be our past that we will reproduce in future. So once we start believing that our past was filled with depression, we have created the unconscious faith that our future will also be depression. We need to understand that we are a process and that by our very nature; our thoughts are unconnected independent and unclutched. If we try to connect the thoughts we get stressed.

Responsibly learning is spontaneous, when we are spontaneous we will be relaxed.Learning is an amazing process. Life is like a roller coaster with lots of surprises. Spontaneous is being responsible to the moment. What we learn from life and accept, it is bliss but when we start judging and labeling, that leads to stress.

To make the kids aware of the fact that how negative thoughts and words cause stress.

• v Whether you felt stressed out about anything yesterday?
• v Do words cause stress?
• v Have you felt positively stressed?
• v Can you be stressed about someone or some situation you don't know?
• v Does stress solve the problem?
• v Can you feel others stress? How?
• v What happens when we use negative words on others?
• v What happens when we connect each thought?
• v What happens when we unclutch thoughts?
• v What they understand by learning?
• v What they understand by spontaneous?

If you are stressed, it is like driving a car looking only at the rearview mirror.
