Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Mr. G.V. Subbaramiah, a devotee, has written some short poems, which are interesting. Some of them refer to a child. Sri Bhagavan said God becomes a child, and vice versa. That means that the samskaras are yet latent in the child and thus its innocence is complete. When they are eradicated even a grown up man becomes a child again, and thus remains God. The author said: The child creates the 'home' atmosphere. Sri Bhagavan: Yes. The children are always in the 'home'. We too are there but are dreaming and imagining that we are outside the home. Sri Bhagavan added: I have rendered the word 'youth' (yuva) in Dakshinamurti Stotra as 'child' (bala). This seems more appropriate. To be reborn is to become a child over again. One must be reborn before gaining jnana, i.e., recovering the natural state. ~ Talks with Ramana Maharshi On Realizing Abiding Peace and Happiness p. 315 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Enter now.
