#2.1 The Human Child and The Childish Human

"A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice, but as yet unstained.”

 It is difficult to precisely point out but whenever it might have happened, that our egocentrism might have receded thus expanding our range of thought from 'I' and 'Me', and we would have started actively interacting with the surrounding environment, we all might have had all sorts of aims, goals and purposes. They might have been as silly as procuring a chocolate or as serious as reforming the world, isn't it? The same goal with some polishing has evolved itself into Today to land us into Tomorrow. 

Once upon a time even I had some crazy ideas swirling in my head. And one day I came across this line - "Avaghāchi Samsār Sukhāchā Karín, Ānande Bharīn Teenhi Lok" meaning "I hereby resolve to make this world a better place to live in, leaving all the three fields totally blissed out."  Jyaneshwar's this resolution just struck me and this simple yet intense sentence acts like a torchbearer for this Blog and perhaps everything that we will do hereafter.     

The other day we had demarcated 'The Problems' and 'happening misunderstood as problems'. And we realised that there is one singular problem, so-called problem - A Crisis in Human Consciousness, rest all are just distant echoes of this one real issue. It has been referred to as an issue because at the very same time it is also a tremendous possibility. We have somehow managed to work out well in the external realm. Human Being is technologically advanced like never before, the whole Cosmos flows through our mobile phones. However we have failed terribly in the subtler interior realm.

Let us take a quick deviation to look at this topic from an entirely different perspective. From the eyes of a crawling child, learning to stand up, fading away into his mind's scape - out beyond all bounds, where Reason makes kites of her Laws and flies them off and where Fact sets Truth free from its fetters. 

Dear Readers, there are striking similarities in the way a child passes through certain developmental stages and the way Humanity in a holistic manner has passed, and will perhaps pass further, through certain developmental stages. 

The introductory note on the significance of Bharat, the identification of The Real Thing and this short note were to provide the conducive context and set the proper ambience for the following volume to step in. 

This particular post has been published in two volumes so that we can systematically and gradually approach these themes avoiding unnecessary chaos thereby preventing missing out anything.

The following volume is an attempt to find out several affinites between the journey of a child from an infant to an adolescent to an adult and so on and the journey of mankind from the deep chambers of Antiquity to the high pedestal of Present with the constant aspiration to fly into the skies of Subsequence.

Through the journey of a child from an infant to an adult, and simultaneously placing the important events of Human History over it, the following volume takes the reader into a vast space of awstrucking ups and downs in this eternal journey of Self, always with a room for further exploration and improvements relatable to our daily discourses and chores resting on the pillars of some adventurous Relics. 

Read the second volume here.
