Amazing music rolled with words of Prem Rawat [05:27 min]
How amazing.. How amazing must be the love that this heart has for the peace!
How amazing must it be the love that this heart has for being fulfilled!
That in the middle of such a raging war, it is still looking, for that one very thing that it recognizes.
The "passion", the "want" must be so great that in the middle of the emptiness it is searching to be fulfilled.
This happens to be the story of every single heart that is here, residing in every single person that is sitting in this room.
You should be impressed! That is courage re-defined, it really is! This is something else.
The need must be so incredibly great that to go, to be rejected again and again and again out of that door,no go away,no go away, but to keep knocking, in the hope that some day this will open.
How amazing is that! How beautiful is that!
And I am not here to sing the praise of that, but to remind you again and again that this is the most beautiful thing!
This moment called now, this life that is dancing in front of you.
Accept it!
Embrace it!
Feel that thirst!
If you dont feel the thirst knowledge means nothing.

Water & Food Award- Westminster, London [31:21 min]
On June 18, 2014, Prem Rawat was the keynote speaker at Central Hall, Westminster, London, for an event sponsored by the Water and Food Foundation (WAF). WAF promotes global best practices in water and food security initiatives.
Describing a broad vision, Prem Rawat told the audience, "All our efforts, whether they are sustainability, to feed the hungry, to bring clean water-in our own little way, we want to create a little heaven right here on earth. And who will ever blame us for thinking so wildly? Because it is a wild vision to want to create a little heaven for us and our fellow beings; and to leave a legacy of that heaven for the generations yet to come, so they keep on living the dream of creating the little heaven in their time, for their time ahead."
Prem finished by applauding everyone present for their efforts and was, in turn, given a standing ovation by the audience.
According to one attendee, John Carpenter, a long-time supporter of TPRF's Food for People program, "The warm feeling of unanimity created by the keynote address was best expressed by a member of the Zimbabwe team who won the 2014 WAF award. He told me, with great humility, that for him the real prize was to have been able to share the day with like-minded people and that he felt he was accepting the WAF award on behalf of everyone."

Two Frogs [04:03 min]
This is an interesting story of two frogs. There was a little frog, "Wellie" who had always lived in a well. Whether he had good days or bad, Wellie always felt very proud of his well. One day he encountered another frog "Laky" passing by..Wellie: Hello, I live in this well! Jump in, the water will refresh you.
Splash! Laky jumps in.
Wellie: So, where are you from?
Laky: Well, I live in the big lake!
Wellie: Is the lake as big as my well?
Laky: No, It's a little bigger!
But, Wellie did not believe. He swam and made a little circle on the water.
Wellie: Is your lake this big?
Laky: No, its even bigger than that!
This time Wellie swims across the circumference of the well.
Wellie: Is it this big?
Laky: No! It's bigger than that!
Wellie laughs out loud.
Wellie: This is not possible. There is nothing bigger than my well.
Laky: If you want I would be very plesed to show you my lake.
Wellie: Ok, I accept it.
So, Laky takes Wellie, to show the little well frog, his lake. When Wellie sees Laky's lake, he is surprised. He cannot believe his eyes. He has never seen anything like this.
Wellie: Uauhh, this is big, really big! It's fantastic! This is amazing and unbelievably beautiful!
“We are like the little frog living in our little world,
but within us is a joy unparalleled.
That is what we have the opportunity to feel.”

Truest Companion [03:13 min]
When you have found your true companion
who dispels your doubts and fears
Who’ll bring peace to this restless heart
Who’ll be with you through the passing years
When you have found your truest friend
Who never judges what you say
Who sees your strength and inner beauty
Who would stay with you, till the end of your days.
When you have found The love of your life
In every breath you take each day
A love that will be with you for always
Each moment, every step of the way
When you have found the deepest love
A love that gives you hope to give peace a chance.
Who shows you the light of love in your heart
Where forever you will sing and dance
Where forever you will sing and dance!
who dispels your doubts and fears
Who’ll bring peace to this restless heart
Who’ll be with you through the passing years
When you have found your truest friend
Who never judges what you say
Who sees your strength and inner beauty
Who would stay with you, till the end of your days.
When you have found The love of your life
In every breath you take each day
A love that will be with you for always
Each moment, every step of the way
When you have found the deepest love
A love that gives you hope to give peace a chance.
Who shows you the light of love in your heart
Where forever you will sing and dance
Where forever you will sing and dance!
