An Innocent Life

The inquisitiveness to experience what lies ahead of us, is called the Life. This inquisitiveness in difficult times takes form of courage, while in happy times it becomes joy. In uncertain times it becomes faith, in certain times it takes form of confidence.

Source of this inquisitiveness is innocence. Translated in hindi, it becomes _भोलापन_ symbolic of Shiva. Only that could be innocent who has an immaculate and innocuous mind which translates as _निर्मल मन_.

When this inquisitiveness (and resultantly innocence) leaves a person, he/she becomes fearful. Fearful of losing the prized attachments, namely – money, job, power, family, life partner or even this body.

So it’s not death which is end of life, or negates the life. It’s fear. Fear of effacement. Effacement of conditioned self, of the acquired and perceived identity, of the ego, of the names and false glories earned in life.

Reconsider what ARE you! Because whatever you ARE, shall be effaced. Unless you become innocent.

An innocent person is naturally accepting, in all situations. He can laugh, can cry.. but never forgoes his innocence. A spontaneous smile on the lips and empathetic tears in the eyes are the most innocent things in this world. That which gets corrupted with intellect can be never innocent.

So, choose an innocent life!

Coz being innocent =
