Innocence and Purity


Listening to the beautiful Kirtan (singing of devotional hymns) at Darbar Sahib on this Sunday morning, I notice a boy sitting around 10 feet away from me…

As I watch him questions arise in my mind

What was he looking at?
Who was he smiling at?
He was communicating, but with whom?




To others he stares into an empty space,
To others he’s an abnormal child a mental child

But those eyes were us something else, what was it?

What would I have given to be is eyes and mind, what a beautiful imprint he left in my heart, he left the spot after around 15 minutes but as I take in what I saw I cannot but help replay his actions in my minds eye.

Only if we had the answers,
Only if we knew,

Then we can feel and know what true innocence and purity is.

Guru Fateh Manni!
How are you? I see that the weather is being kinder now!
You know, I think that people, especially children, who are mentally challenged have more of a direct line to communication with the divine. Perhaps their minds are not as filled with clutter as ours are? The photos of the young boy are beautiful. It is obvious that he is talking with someone out there!
Please, if you like, email me about the sensory room. I am planning our yard sale to benefit Pingalwara in November here in Oklahoma, and I know that the proceeds can be sent to a trust in the United States, but I am wondering can the funds be earmarked for something such as the sensory room? If you find out anything, please tell me!
Love and hugs to you and the kids,
Parvati

Dear Manni

Once again i'm humbled by what i read. It seems to me that you should be able to write a book. i hope that you receive the guidance to do that. God bless you Manni xxx
