TO BE A CHILD OR TO BECOME LIKE A CHILD? - by
Huberto Rohden
Man who has a naive belief has not become like a
child; is just a child and never left this spiritual childhood of the naive
believe.
The unbeliever, is no longer a child and did not
become adult. Went from healthy childhood to an unhealthy infantilism, not
seeing behind its scepticism, the ultimate Reality, the original Source of all
existences.
Only the wise man has acquired genuine maturity
and therefore - as paradoxical as it may seem - can become like a child. True
wisdom of experience is an infant's adulthood, because the experienced man at
the level of ultimate Reality acquired a simple wisdom, diaphanous, calm, away
from all sophistication, a wisdom full of security that is beyond all loud and
proud discussions of the analytical intelligence. This man is not a scholar, but
a learned man. It may be that this man did not know many things, like the man
encyclopaedia, but knows a lot - his knowledge is quality and not quantity. He
is not an archive of juxtaposed and disconnected knowledge - his knowledge is
like a panoramic view, that know the exact place of every creature in the
Universe.
The wise and learned man is always a dynamic and
serenely calm man; does not need to run in a hurry to and from in order to get
the materiality of life - he thinks that he is like in a vast plain full of sun
light, covering both all latitudes and longitudes around him; although a pilgrim
on planet Earth, always is at the end of all his journeys.
And that's why this man lives in this dynamic
peace, of tranquil security, which seems to hit all who approach
him.
Knowing how to become like a child in full
manhood is a divine art, is a mystical charisma, is the cosmic
wisdom.
