Teaching Chasing the wind with open hands

When we try to fill our hearts all by ourselves, we still feel empty - only God can fill that place.

  • The Teacher tried to catch the wind in his hands. Have you ever wanted something really badly, but when you got it, you still wanted more?
  • What do you think makes a day feel happy and full instead of empty?
  • The Teacher kept searching even when he had not found his answer yet. Why is it good to keep looking for what is true?
