Innocence


Sitting on the balcony watching the busy trunk road, my cousin sitting beside me predicted "he would come back and pick it up."
The man below did not look normal and dirty, he just tossed something on a garbage heap and moved along. After walking about 100 paces he retraced his steps and picked up the object he had thrown and proceeded on his way.
She knew a theorem of life that I did not know. It is difficult to undergo loss. Some losses does not have any simple replacement like picking it up.
Loss of innocence for example.
Timeline is continuum. All time before 12 AM January 1, 2012 were in 2011. But we can only celebrate New year!
It is impossible to go back in time despite all theories - light does not age or die.
However it is possible to regain innocence despite loss of innocence and 100 years of learning and experience in this world.
No matter how brutally we attack it with our theories and experience our innocence only withdraws little bit but kind enough not abandon us forever.
Does any one hires or rewards innocent!
All theories die they were born to die - only innocence does have no death - the only immortal - the absolute. Innocence is never born and knows no death. We can abandon the same but it waits patiently for us to turn back some day and be innocent.
We lose innocence every moment and we become learned about some truths. With truths rather our beliefs, We have no option but see them in every moment of our life. We are addicted to our little truths - they might as well be called our lies.
Without those beliefs, we would be able to live our life without expectation and have clarity of our vision - not seeing some thing in some other thing.
The journey back to innocence is difficult undertaking but not so difficult - it is non-indulgence with all learning but living without little truths of life.
We can do without knowledge but we can't do without innocence.
Without innocence we shall be predicting our death every moment of our life, instead of living without death!
There is no option to innocence.

Three Truths

The ... are known as Seekers of Truth - the knowledge of Reality. Rudarigh, a great lord of Murcia Spain, decided to possess this Truth. He sought out Omar el-Alawi of Tarragona and brought him to his court and said, "I order you to tell tell the truths which you know and must be told in manner I understand, otherwise your life is forfeit." Omar asked, "Do you observe in your court when an arrested person tell truth in answer to a question that the truth does not incriminate him, and he is released to freedom?" "That is so", the lord said. "I call upon every one to witness this by the honor of our lord, and I will tell three truths and not one", said Omar. "We must also be satisfied and proof must accompany the telling, that you claim Truths are indeed so", said Rudarigh. "For such a lord as you are, we can give truths not one but three and they are all self evident", said Omar. ...

Master Baqi-Billah

It was said that a man went to the assembly of the master Baqi-Billah of Delhi and said: 'I have been reading famous verse of Master Hafiz, "If your teacher bids you stain your prayer-carpet with wine, obey him," but I have a difficulty.' Baqi-Billah said: 'Dwell apart from me for some time and I shall illustrate the matter for you.' After a considerable period of time, the disciple received a letter from the sage. It said: "Take all the money you have and give it to the gate keeper of any brothel." The disciple was shocked, and for a time thought that the master must be a fraud. After wrestling with days however he went to nearest house of ill-fame and presented the man at the door with all the money he had. 'For such a sum of money' said the doorman, 'I shall allot you the choicest gem of our collection, an untouched woman.' As soon as he entered the room, the woman there said: 'I have been tricked into being in this hou...

Relativity

A scholar said to ...: "You often say that our logical questions are incomprehensible to you. Can you give an example of what they seem like to you?" "Here is an example. I was once travelling by train and we went through seven tunnels. Opposite me was sitting a peasant who obviously never been in a train before. After seventh tunnel the peasant tapped me on the knee and said: 'This Train is complicated. On my donkey I can get to my village in only one day. But by train, which seem to be travelling faster than a donkey, we have not yet arrived at home, though the sun has risen and set seven whole times.'" ... I like this too - it can so easily be expressed in English but no great men of letters have written them. ... A certain Bektashi dervish was respected for his piety and appearance of virtue. Whenever any one askes him how he had become so holy, he always answered: "I know what is in Koran." One day when he just given this r...
