Art of the day

Art of the day: ILLUSTRATING THE BODY & MIND

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  • 1. Paper
  • 2. Colour Pens

PROCEDURE:

Kṛṣṇa describes kṣetra in many different ways. These are some ways:

  • Ø the material things around us
  • Ø the body-mind
  • Ø the illusory world created by our minds
  • Ø the field (symbolized by the battlefield of Kurukṣetra)

Kṣetrajña is also described in several ways:

  • Ø the Self the charioteer
  • Ø the knower of the field
  • Ø the one who runs the show
  • Encourage the children to draw how they understand kṣetra and that we are kṣetrajña not kṣetra.

Art of the day: ILLUSTRATING THE BODY & MIND

INFERENCE:

Kṛṣṇa says that we need to understand kṣetra and kṣetrajña to realize the truth. Until then we blindly believe that the projection of our mind, the drama, is reality. We have created our own drama and are acting in it.
