Bye Bye EGO, Welcome to INNOCENCE

Bye By EGO, Welcome to INNOCENCE

My 8 years daughter - Rudra was playing with her little brother Maanav (3 years). They were busy in playing and not knowing what is happening around them. For them playing game was the only world. I felt jealous, how happy there were. 

I have seen sibling rivalry many a times where siblings fight for something or parents have to slap sometime because of their fight. 

In this case, I have seen that Rudra sometime get injustice but still I can sense her love towards her brother. She let go many times when Maanav ask for particular toy or favor. I do have seen how Maanav loves his sister too. Entire day "didi" "didi""didi" word used hum in home. The most entertaining part is when Maanav act as Mummy and Rudra as Maanav. So creative they are. They perform these roles very accurately as children are very sharp observer so what we talk, to whom we talk and how we talk they notice and than they reproduce it while they play.

So in same way one day they were playing as "Mummy - Maanav" game. Maanav (Actually Rudra) was sitting on floor and Mummy (Actually Maanav) was standing on his small chair. As a student Maanav (Actually Rudra) was asking some simple questions and Mummy (Actually Maanav) was answering it and they were laughing on that as fun was getting generated out of it. I was also smiling and enjoying the show (reality show). Then suddenly Maanav (Actually Rudra) asked something tough and Mummy (Actually Maanav) got confused. He stared thinking seriously, than he also asked help of her sister but Rudra denied  so Mummy (Maanav) got down from the chair and run to real Mummy (Dipti). Very innocently Maanav asked,"Mummy what is the answer of this question?", Dipti replied. Now again dummy mummy (Maanav) was in mood as he got the answer. He ran to Rudra and before answering to question, Maanav stood on chair and gave answer of the question asked by Rudra. I could see the glowing face of Maanav as he was feeling proud of managing question smartly. He used a lifeline at right time.

I realized we also face sometime such situation where we do not know the answer but we know who knows the answer, even though we do not go to that person for getting answer - Why ? Mostly it is because of our EGO. 

I feel as we grow our INNOCENCE goes away and that space is filled up by EGO. We feel small if we ask someone. We always try to pose to everyone that I know everything whereas that is not the actual case. 

My personal view is that knowing everything could be possible in lifetime but knowing the fact that I do not know something never happens in our life and that is just because of EGO.

ACCEPTANCE of not knowing is true key to know many things but DENY to accept that I do not know something is DOOR to EGO, We mostly live with door closed and forget the key outside.

I feel I got some lesson from my children. 

Thanks to Maanav and Rudra.

Good day!
