INNOCENCE

LESSON: 7

Introduction: Reiterate the day before topic and introduce to the children about Innocence, totality and maturity.

Goals: To make the children understand about Innocence, totality and maturity.

About the topic: When you came into the world, you came as an innocent infant. You radiated the beauty of your innocence until society gives you the mind. Now, we want to get rid of your mind and become innocent again , The regained innocence is what is called maturity. It is possible to regain it. We have to believe, we were innocent once upon a time. Trust that innocence is still within you. Then it is possible to start radiating it again. This understanding will start the process again.

Maturity causes us to live in totality. Totality is functioning out of immense innocence and giving your whole to the moment. There is no options, no judgment, no fragments within you. There is only intense enthusiasm for the moment. The openness to the moment is the innocence. Just one thing is needed to become innocent one again. Don't hide behind false knowledge.

Always feel your natural self at your core with no strain, with no effort or pretensions. Innocence is keeping the consciousness at the level of the heart, not allowing it to settle in the head. The problem of falsity comes because society teaches you to be someone special all the time. There is no need to be someone special all the time. When you drop the mind, you fall into the moment. Maturity is taking a strong decision not to decide yourself any more. It is to awaken to the consciousness within. It is to integrate yourself with honesty. When we regain the innocence, we flower with the understanding that there © 2011 Copyright Nithya Gnanadhan Trust

is nothing more priceless than becoming child like again. Innocence is the way to approach life.

Getting the innocence disturbed and working to regain it permanently is the process of maturity. If a child is brought up in love, the innocence of the child is preserved. Then he moves around with his heart not with his head. The beauty of maturity is that it allows you to function as a mature person when required and as a child at all other times. Innocence has a totality about it. This totality is called grace. Being innocent is like functioning from your very consciousness. It is thoughtless awareness. The problem is that we are afraid of losing what society taught us from society we learnt how to build our personality. But our character is different from our personality. Character is real. personality is a built up image.
