When we are
born it is, paradoxically enough, not an awakening and remembering but
rather like a sleep and forgetting. Our mind which is born with us is
like the star of our life which has its setting somewhere else and
comes from afar. When we come from God who is our home, we do not come
completely ignorant nor in complete nakedness but bring some clouds of
glory. When we are babies heaven is all around us. But as the boy grows
up, shades of the world like that of a prison begin to enclose him.
However, he still sees in his moment of joy the light and where it
comes from. As we grow from boyhood to youth and journey further and
further from our early years, we are still the priest of nature and are
still accompanied by this early vision of nature. But eventually we
reach manhood and this vision disappears and grows dim as it is seen
against the ordinary view of life. |
