Bhagavad Gita

For Example:

When they brush their teeth in which colour are they established? Whether they are working unknowingly or they are brushing out of ANGER, (or) acting out of GREED or getting something as a gift (or) working out of fear of infection, or is it out of happiness or with the thought that is the purpose of life or beyond that. Encourage each child to analyze in which colour they perform their different activities.

Inference:

Explain to the children when you do things out of Anger, without liking it, it only leads to suffering. As we grow bigger it will become a pattern. The brain grows in patterns. Every activity which we perform must be in Yellow colour - happy, creative, and intuitive! We need to be creative in each activity. When we are in Yellow colour, we will be in a happy, creative, open and intuitive spectrum.

That is the process Arjuna was going through. He had lost his awareness of inner bliss because of his samskaras and was in the deep throes of despair. The process of relearning, the process of transformation at the hands of the master was about to begin. If we become aware of that process that the master takes His disciple through, if we follow that process carefully over the eighteen chapters, we too can become aware. Sankara says beautifully: If you imbibe even a little of Bhagavad Gita, if you drink even a drop of Ganga water, if you think even once about that great master Krsna, you will never have to face death.
