Mr. G. V. Subbaramiah, a devotee, has written some short poems which are interesting. Some of them refer to a child. Sri Bhagavan said God becomes a child, and vice versa. That means that the are yet latent in the child and thus its innocence is complete. When they are eradicated even a grown up man becomes a child once again, and thus remains God.
The author said: The child creates the ‘home’ atmosphere.
Sri Bhagavan: Yes. The children are always in the ‘home’. We too are there but are dreaming and imagining that we are outside the home.
Sri Bhagavan added: I have rendered the word “youth” (yuva) in “Dakshinamurti Stotra” by “child” (bāla). This seems more appropriate.
To be reborn is to become children over again. One must be reborn before gaining , i.e. recovering the natural state.
