Procedure:🔗

• 1. Gather the class together and discuss the activity and topic. Explain how every second we can learn things and observe if we are in the present and now. Explain that humans only use 8 to 13% of our brains and this is an illustration that will help us understand
• 2. Take the transparent container and ask the class Is it full? Or empty?".
• 3. Take the rocks and stones and fill it to the top and ask again. "Is it full?" (Answer is No)
• 4. Now take the sand and fill it to the top and ask again. "Is it full?" (Answer is No)
• 5. Now take the water and fill it to the top and ask again. "Is it full?" (Answer is now Yes)

The point of this illustration is that we are constantly learning, always getting inputs. Our brains are always working and finding new things, we just have to be open to it. One more interpretation of this activity is that our wants and wishes keep on changing and it is very difficult to satisfy all our wants. Our mind always wants more and more, when we understand this we can easily differentiate our true needs from borrowed desires.

Instead of chasing outer objects and things that we 'want' trying to make ourselves happy. We need to focus on the things that matter, the true desires which can fulfill us.

Encourage the children to discuss how much of a part of them is a particular person.
