Children Part 1

All children are enlightened. Their level of enlightenment is far more than that of any great saint. But there is a difference. A child is like a brand new slate on which nothing was written ever. A great saint is also a clean slate but it was rubbed. Something was written on it, it had become dirty so, it has been rubbed out and now it is clean. Both are like clean slate. But one is rubbed. One is brand new. Saints are rubbed. A Child is a brand new. That's why great saint just endeavors to become like a child. But a child doesn't mimic great saints. He doesn't need to.

The two most important attribute of a child is innocency and curiosity. Both are inter dependent. I remember I used to ask many question (stupid for them) when I was a small kid. Other's used to take it as stupid question. That' fine. There are reason behind that. I will come to this later. I used to ask questions like How does aeroplane fly in the air? Aeroplane runs faster or helicopter? If Ram and Hanuman fight, who will win? If Luv and Kush fight who will win? Of course to a learned person these are stupid question. But if you look from child's point of view that was just a curiosity. An innocent curiosity. But I used to be scolded for asking non-sense question many a times. The reason is, they don't know the answer. Because they were also scolded when they were kids. So, their curiosity was suppressed. Kid start's thinking that I am asking stupid questions, others are laughing at me. So I should not ask such questions. And he gradually stops being curious. And once curiosity is suppressed he becomes dependent on books. Then he knows only what he reads in the books, TV, radio etc.

Child is pure manifestation. The more he grow the more he get contaminated. His brain is filled with books, events and many things. If you just traverse back in time you will reach to destination. I remember when people used to lift me up on their waist and walk. Do you remember anything when you were 1 month old? when 10 days old? when 2 day old? when 1 day old? when 0 day old? when -1 day old? when -10 day old? when -4 year old? when -500 year old? when -1000000000000 years old?...Do you remember what were U doing inside womb? You cant remember all these. But it all happened. It's somewhere stored in the deep sublevel of your consciousness. No information is lost. The information signals remains vibrating at extremely low amplitudes. Buddha was able to recollect his previous 10,000 births. We are not able to recollect even this current birth. See the difference. Again I wont encourage people to do any un-solicited practice in order to recollect negative time unless otherwise absolutely required.
