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!

Be Beautiful Now [02:53 min] What I talk about; the possibility that I've brought you, is to be fulfilled. Not one or two day- Every single day of your life.
In you life, know. Know what you've been given! Taken advantage and be fulfilled everyday. Because that's your opportunity.
When you leave this world, they will put makeup on you. They will try to make you look as beautiful as possibly can. You want to be beautiful? Then be beautiful now!
And there is only one thing that can make you look beautiful. And it's not your makeup. When your hear is full, you look beautiful!

Feeling of Joy- A conversation [06:45 min] This is an expression of a man who expresses his gratitude to Maharaji for knowledge. At the same time he raises his concern that the kids in the school where he teaches, drive him a lunatic and all the peace, all the joy that he had experienced, sublimes!
Maharaji answers:
There are two things. When you are in this feeling it is beautiful. Further and further when you move away from the feeling, everything else takes over. The outside circumstances will try to get to you. But you should decide. You need to excercise kindness to your existence. Knowledge does work so far you stay in that experience.
Don't be confused about it. You always have the decision to allow those things to take control of you. Lot of people think, it is not in their control. But it is. When a person in prison can feel the peace, then you should have no limits.
