Day18 – Bhagavad-Gita to a 5 year old

Chapter 8 Verse 4 ( Thanks for the help! Can I get more anyway? )

Harsha said: What is Bhakti? Do u remember?

Ahana said: When we pray to God and think of God with “muddu” ( lotsa love and affection) it is called Bhakti.

Harsha said:  Yes! Krishna Bhagwan says that he loves people who affectionately remember him. Not just when we need or want something.. But when we are thankful for something! What are you thankful for today?

Ahana said: I am thankful to my teacher as she has given me a bag as a gift (I collected her books from the school and told her that teacher is happy with her performance and behavior and that is why she has given a bag as a gift!)

Harsha said: Great! So tomorrow when you pray we both need to say “thank you God” as we are thankful that we have got the bag...

Ahana said: (When praying.. ) Thank you God for giving me the bag.. I want a red colour bag with drawing books inside next time.

When we get something we want bigger, better, prettier, smarter, more, shinier of whatever that is! Who will help us kick this drug addiction?

When we go low we get the capacity to tolerate lower; when we go high we get the hunger to go higher! Human mind is designed to not follow Bhagwadgita??
