A child all again ..


It's always a pleasure watching the children play, their talks ,the way they go to school with enthusiasm, their fights,their giggling laughter ,their mischiefs , the way they eat especially ice creams and what not , everything about kids is enjoyable , I mean it's worth spending time with them , more relaxing and rejuvenating.
We never miss to watch the kids program , Kutty Chutties in Sun TV , every sunday.The host asks various questions to the kids in front of  their family members sitting and watching their wards .For the same question , each kid answers differently, much to the loud applause of their family and brings an instant smile to our face . The kids of this present age are extremely brilliant and highly knowledgeable and very sharp too. What makes the answers of the kids more interesting and different from that of the elders is their spontaneity and their innocence and they being in the present moment totally . One can never guess what would be their answer . The unpredictable answer would just pop out from their mouth in an unexpected manner , so timely !!  They don't think , what implications will their answer have in future nor do they refer their past memory to get the answer. Just a mere spontaneity !!


Crying with all heart !!
Playing with 100 % attention
I had a thought , while playing with the 3 and a half year child next door, which talks like a big person and quite bold enough to question us in a loud voice for many of our actions . I wondered how come a child can be so matured . But in a short while , I would hear him cry with a loud sound for some chocolates or toys , reminding that he's a child after all !! A child even when it cries , it cries with all its heart . If it's getting angry also , 100 % anger it shows and the next moment it's out from that unlike us  !!

So, this makes me to think , a Mature person , a grown up individual , What if

* He does not get stuck up to his past memories , events and the related worries or guilt ?! 
* He comes out of all his inhibitions and barriers and ready to take up any challenges ?! 
* He frees himself from the pre conceived notions and thoughts and makes himself open to the new ideas ?!
* Whose mind is not anxious about the future and the associated fears ?!
* And lives totally in the present moment , giving 100 % to what he's doing , giving 100% even to his relations ?!

Will he not become a Child all again ?
Fully enthusiastic !!
Joyful !!
Creative !!
Spontaneous !!
Dynamic !!
Ever smiling !!

An adult free from all the modulations of the mind is back to his Innocence !!

And Innocence combined with the  Intelligence is the need of the hour today to come out of the stress  !!





It's not you who serve the Guru...but it's the Guru who serves you !!
