Subject: [Iyer123] Is this why kids are called Gods?
At 7.30 yesterday morning I left my daughter’s house in Ocala, Florida back to Baltimore along with my son, his wife and two children. Nearly 14 hours drive became 15 long hours due to traffic jam near Washington DC. The sky, when we left, was lustrous with brilliant rays beaming all over and penetrating and removing the lavish white spread on the vast turf on both sides and tears of dews were going up as water vapors.
“How could these kids, who played , ate, swam, fought and slept together for 2 weeks, could wave adieu, with no remarkable expression on their eyes and face?” I wondered, looking at them, two sitting inside the car and the other two, standing in front of their house . They are not likely to meet each other till the next summer vacation, they know that and still how is that no trace of sorrow of parting is lit on their faces? They behaved as if they were leaving for the school for meeting again in the evening!

This is what the Sages have been advising us to follow – to live only in the present. We should not allow the past to torment us nor permit anxiety about the future to deprive us of our peace of mind. Children have Godly qualities, as Shri Peirnkulam has correctly put it. They live only in the present. No wonder, you find innocence writ at large in their faces!

Sir,
To Iyer 123
Children are more resilient than the adults.They quickly forget things.They are pure in heart.That is why we say children are equivalent to god.
