Ever seen in the eyes of a little child? Can you see innocence? Do you remember how we used to see the world as a child? But why the child has that innocence? Ever wondered?!
Well, because they are empty, just absorbing everything, without any judgement, without any attachments, just experiencing life as it is just like an outsider to this world without getting impacted! They are uncontaminated by social beliefs, selfish interests, no bondage with respect to anything, no memory of how that thing or person has given happiness or sadness in the past, no judgement!
That’s is why we say that the child is an image of God. Because the child is still uncontaminated. As a child, we do not know anything else we just see the things as they are. They actually do not see things they “observe” things.
Can we learn from these little human beings who are closest to our source, Yes, Closest! After all, they have just landed here on this earth! Of course, they are closer to God/ Universe/ whatever you call the source than us, who are too indulge in our daily routine life to observe anything. But what is the problem with us? Why we are not close to the source? After all, we have also landed here on earth like an innocent child only!
You can mix water with water, if it’s mixed with milk, it’s no more water! Be like the one whom you want to merge with!

Oh! But we like to be busy in seriously big things like job, business, studies, inventions, discoveries believing that we are doing great things. Perhaps we think that they are bigger than marvellous creations around us! I wonder! Of course, our serious things are important but perhaps they are given more importance than they deserve. They have just blocked our sight and we couldn’t see things ahead which are bigger than our biggest achievements. Like if a small needle or pen is able to block the view of the moon, we cannot say that needle or that pen is bigger than the moon!
Then what to do?! Understand the problem first.
The only issue we have is that our minds are preoccupied with lots of memories till date, future worries, others behaviour analysis and best of all- analysis of our life is hell because of others! A married homemaker woman thinks she is the only one who has to suffer a lot and people who go to the office are happy. However, people going to office are too busy gossiping about their bosses. But is it really about the boss or in-laws or anyone else? Or it has something to do with self? Basically, we are contaminated by the preconceived ideas, inability to understand other’s perspective
Can we remove contamination from our minds like a child, and then we will be close to God?!
Yes, of course! Why not?!
This is what we practice when we meditate. We try to just be, just be our pious holy self, without worldly contamination. As we were when we arrived on this earth, as a little child. Just one step closer to our highest self, our creator.
If we will be little close to our creator, our source, don’t you think we will get more clarity in life? Once we remove the acquired belief system, memory, experiences and all other layers, what is left is just ‘I’ -pure and pious. And this ‘I’ knows everything, what is the right thing to do what is not, just everything!
So, next time you are confused in life, just turn inward, and you will get all the answers.
Just be like a child, See the world as it is without past. Be like a child does not mean behave childishly. It just means to clear off layers gathered over years which has contaminated our souls, layers of a belief system which has covered us so deep within it that we are not able to see the divine light.
Let us uncover ourselves, let’s loosen up a bit and allow the source to reach us and enjoy and feel the presence of support all around us!
