We speak so little of children. They are the connection between God and
adulthood, the mystic and the practical mind.
Children, in their holiest element, are living joy. They want so much for love, understandably
so, because they left a realm where love was all there is.
Perhaps it is too much to ask of you to remember what it was
like when you were a child. Or deeper
still, when you entered the body that is now yours. Most likely it was shocking to go from
infinity to a limited perspective, extremely limited.
The Master says we must be as a child to enter heaven. That means simply that we must drop our own
pretense, our grandiosity, especially our fear and worry, to be in the heavenly
throes of comfort, in the warm embrace of simple love. That is most what a child needs. Indeed, what the entire world needs.
Rumi
