“I am not short of any knowledge relating to God or spirituality because I have fully known what this child-principle is. When you get to know that ignorant child-principle, beingness, you will not fall short of anything in your spiritual or worldly pursuits.”
-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, “Prior to Consciousness” by Jean Dunn
I ran across the above quote today after writing the post Childlike Innocence or “I amness” a few days ago. I’d included quotes of Jesus but couldn’t pass up sharing this nugget of wisdom from Maharaj. Was it destiny or coincidence that these words popped up in my study of his dialogues? I won’t say either way, but it is just the right thing to hear at exactly the right time. One can only bow in humble obedience to the guru and his wisdom.
May we all reclaim our childlike innocence, our child-principle. Saranam Sadguru!
