A child is normally compared to God.This is because,a child is very true and transparent in everything. It is an embodiment of playfulness,freedom and love.It has no much of self identity or ego.A child lives in the present moment. He does not have future plans or a mindset to worry for the past. Its expression is so transparent that it cannot think one thing and say something else.Mainly it has no hidden agendas.Even while crying it is so intense and true.Later on it again settles back to its own nature in a very normal way.
But what happens when a child grows up?Now it has loads of identity to carry.Identity given by home,given by education all occupies 90% of its mental space and sometimes even more.The child did not carry all these identities earlier and so its feelings were so genuine and beautiful.The human adapts so many things from outside.Some are good and some or bad.Some feelings are very essential,whereas some just boosts up the ego.
Whenever social status and other kinds of status are gathered,they come with certain pressures and problems. Such identities distance you away from your originality and gives a made up appearance. Love and compassion are always predominant aspects in any human being.But due to the external influences on your own self,you are now denied to see your basic nature.
Your inner self says you to give others,help others and love others.But the learning you got from the society asks you why should you give?Why should you help? It misguides you that compassion and love in you are meant only for your family.
This is the major struggle of human beings.Their inner nature is an embodiment of love and purity but the layers of wrong learning have made them forget their own nature.
Other living beings stick to their own instinct.Human mind alone jumps here and there and this is a game of the sixth sense.The sixth sense came as a blessing to human but sometimes that itself becomes a problem.Other living beings are driven by their natural instinct.So they are not monitored or mastered by some other attitudes.
But human beings still have a choice.Using their sixth sense they can either master selfishness or master love. beings need to use the great tool called awareness to go beyond the social identities and other such identities instead of just clinging to them.
So you need to practice to use your awareness to be a path towards happiness,towards laughter and giggling and towards whatever a child will do. Practice to be in tune with your inner self and disconnect from your false identities.If you practice this for a whole day you will know what is peace.
So smile without any intentions,Love without measuring,Play like a child and give just for the sake of giving.
When you go beyond your ego and see from there you will be able to see how beautiful this life is !!
