Effortless freedom

The child does not make any effort. It just does things. Sleeps wherever it wants to. Eat what it wants to eat. The child keeps in its mouth, which as adults we would never even dream of keeping.

The child is not imprisoned in its thought, in its actions. It is natural. It does not remember and recall what has passed. A child is effortless to the core.

In seeking higher love, effort is the major stumbling block. The moment I make an effort, I am strengthening my ego. Love is never an effort. I cannot make an effort to love. I have to allow it to happen.

Discipline is the essence of growing up. Do not do this. Do not do that. Do this, Do that. We hear this all through our life since childhood.

This discipline itself becomes bondage. We are imprisoned in our circumstances, in our situations. The world gives us a character and we move with this character tab.  We move with a fixed attitude.
The child has no character, no attitude. It is just happy.

So what is the difference between our response and a child’s response. For a child the response comes out of the situation. For us- we are conditioned.

I am hungry and to eat food, I have to set the table, use the cutlery, should not spill……..

For the child, takes the food and eats it… no conditioning. The situation creates the response. Hunger + Food= Response-

So awareness is the key. Awareness of the situation is the key

So How do I move freely?

How do I remain natural and free?

How do I become free?
