A thirsty crow flew into a village in search of water. The crow flew over the houses, fields, and trees. But he didn’t find any water. After a long time, he came across a farm. Under one of the trees on the farm was a pitcher of water. He quickly moved towards the pitcher and looked inside. There was very little water inside the pot. The crow put his beak inside the pitcher but could not reach the water. The water level was too low,The crow was disappointed. He was really thirsty and needed a drink of water badly. He could have given up and flown to another farm, looking for water. But he didn’t. Instead, he looked around and thought, “What else can I do?” He saw that there were a lot of pebbles on the farm. And, he had an idea! He collected a pebble and put it into the pitcher. He collected another pebble and another and put them all in the pitcher. As he added more and more stones, the water level came up to the brim. The crow drank the water happily & satisfied his thirst & flew back home happily! <h2 style="text-align: center;">What is the learning from this thirsty crow for the students ?</h2> <h2 style="text-align: center;"> What is the काकचेष्टा here we have to learn ?</h2>   <div class="featured-snippet"> <h2>2 Major Learning from This Thirsty Crow</h2> <hr> <ol> <li>Think About Possibilities over Difficulties,</li> <li>Make PERSISTENT EFFORT until you achieve Goal</li> </ol> </div> In this story Crow saw that water is so deep inside the pitcher, it was difficult to drink water but he didn’t get stuck there, he THOUGHT about the possibility that, What can I do so the water level can come up ? Similarly in the students life also we have to <h2 class="text-center background-gradient">Be a POSSIBILITY THINKER Not a DIFFICULTY THINKER</h2> <blockquote> <div class="text-center background-gradient">Possibility Mantra : </div> <div class="text-center background-gradient">“WHAT CAN I DO”</div> </blockquote> Chant this MANTRA whenever you face difficulty When you feel difficulty to understand the sums of maths, or to understand the theory of physics & chemistry then chant this mantra “What can I do” to understand it When you face difficulty to learn any skills like english speaking, painting, music, sports etc. chant this mantra “What can I do” to learn it When you face difficulty to achieve your GOAL, always chant this mantra, “What can I do” You will see the POSSIBILITY to get it done by chanting this MANTRA ylR-MlKn7Gw How were you feeling while learning to ride a bicycle 1st time ? Easy or difficult ? In the same way… nothing is like easy or difficult, it’s just a matter of process from learning to mastering it Make persistent effort until you achieve Goal – NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE GOAL Why did Crow make the effort of bringing the pebbles & puting into the pitcher? What was the motivation of his EFFORT ? HIS THIRST ! He made an effort because he was thirsty ! Similarly, Who can make such a persistent effort ? Somebody who is THIRSTY ! Today my question to you is that,    <blockquote> <div class="text-center background-gradient">Are you THIRSTY of anything ?</div> </blockquote> Are you THIRSTY of Knowledge & learning ? Are you thirsty to achieve your Goal, your dreams ? If you are THIRSTY, You will become UNSTOPPABLE ! So, to make a PERSISTENT EFFORT, you must develop thirst for knowledge and learning So, Thirsty Student can make the persistent effort What are examples of Persistence efforts ? How can you test your Persistent effort ? Note down this golden points    <div class="featured-snippet"> <h2>8 Indicators of persistent effort</h2> <hr> <ol> <li>Grasping each word of a teacher</li> <li>Coming to class with prior preparation</li> <li>Constant & regular practice of whatever is learnt</li> <li>Not giving up even if it looks difficult or you have failed</li> <li>Doing Hard Work for developing any skill</li> <li>Not making excuses, instead accepting & correcting mistakes</li> <li>Puting little extra effort than others</li> <li>Not being over-confident rather learning from others </li> </ol> <hr> </div> These are the indicators of a persistent effort, you can pause the video & test your persistent effort So, the Kakchesta is : Make Persistent Effort like a crow, until Goal is achieved Anyways, the session doesn’t end here 🙂 Now, let me tell you the most inspiring & powerful LEGEND from the Upanishads There was a boy namely Panini, he was the son of Aj Rishi & Daaxi Devi In childhood, Panini was very dull boy in studies – Once an astrologer came to his house – Aj Rishi, Panini’s father asked to predict the future of Panini Seeing Panini’s right palm the astrologer said that he had no line of knowledge in his palm so he will not be knowledgeable ! It was frustrating to hear for his parents But hearing this, little boy Panini asked an astrologer that where should be the line of Knowledge in my palm ? Astrologer simply showed the place of line of knowledge on his palm Panini brought the knife & he drew the line on his palm with the sharp edge of knife & showed to astrologer that it was the line of knowledge His hand began to bleed like anything ! It was unbelievable Afterwards, Panini did lots of HARDWORK to gain knowledge And finally with persistent effort & constant practice once a dull boy became a BRILLIANT SCHOLAR Panini became the 1st & greatest Sanskrit Grammarian ever ! The POWERFUL message from this story is that… <h2 class="text-center background-gradient" style="text-align: center;">You only are the ARCHITECT of your DESTINY, Nobody else !</h2> <h2 class="text-center background-gradient" style="text-align: center;">You only are RESPONSIBLE for your FUTURE, Nobody else !</h2> Because God has given you a FREEDOM to choose your ACTIONS  And can you imagine THOUGHT PROCESS of Panini ? level of COMMITMENT & CONFIDENCE during such kind of demotivating prediction ? !! He didn’t BEND before such frustrating prediction If people would say to you that “you can’t learn this, you can’t do this, you can’t achieve this, you are so dull, your future is ZERO” & many such frustrating dialogues then what would you do or what would be your thought process ? Would you get motivated or demotivated by their frustrating words ? Here Panini got MOTIVATED by such frustrating words ! People may demotivate you, people may criticize you but never MIND their words because they don’t know your POTENTIAL, just ignore them Our Elder Swamiji says that you are born to be great, don’t underestimate yourself I hope those who are watching this video, none of them are such dull in studies like Panini  If such a dull student can become an extraordinary scholar then why can’t you ? <blockquote> <div class="text-center background-gradient">If he can DO then you can TOO</div> </blockquote> If Panini can do, you can too, but it’s a matter of PERSISTENT HARDWORK However SLOW LEARNER you are, don’t worry at all, you too can become a FAST LEARNER by PERSISTENT EFFORT & CONSTANT PRACTICE It is said that <h2 style="text-align: center;">“करत-करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान”</h2> Dull can become brilliant by constant practice   Bhagwan Swaminarayan also said in the Vachanamrutam, “By PERSISTENT EFFORT & PRACTICE, nothing is impossible in the human life” one can make impossible possible”   There is powerful quote of Bruce Lee : &lrm;”I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”   Now onwards Whatever you learn, practice it Whatever you study, revise it Let it be maths, science, english or you read any good book, or any skills you learn like communication skill, public speaking skill, any sports like cricket, football, basketball, any music skill like tabla, guitar, violin, painting etc, You can learn & master anything with Constant Practice, so practice whatever you learn The FORCE behind the CONSTANT PRACTICE & PERSISTENT EFFORT is YOUR THIRST for Knowledge & learning ! If you want to become a brilliant student, extraordinary Student ? If you want to make a difference among other students? Then be THIRSTY to gain the Knowledge & skills & make PERSISTENT EFFORT   <blockquote> <div class="text-center background-gradient">CONCLUSION : Make Persistent Effort</div> </blockquote>
