2) On the other hand, we read about the condemnation of people who have not realized themselves, who simply go with the flow and do not seek the truth - but can it be said that such people do not spend time on reflection and contemplation?


I didn't understand anything, what condemnations of what people are we reading about???


Do you remember that wonderful feeling from childhood when an ordinary cobblestone seemed like a precious stone, a table covered with a sheet was an ancient cave, and the trees outside the window were an enchanted forest?


Would you like to return, even for a short time, to that state when everything around is new, amazing, and full of mysteries? An Indian mystic talks about "childhood" and "adulthood," about naive curiosity and wise experience, about routine and novelty... He talks about how important it is not to lose this wonderful skill - to admire everything that surrounds you.

Chapter 1. Eyes Full of Wonder

Wonder is the source of wisdom, wonder is the source of all that is beautiful, wonder is also the source of searching, of true searching. Wonder makes you set out on a journey in search of life's mysteries.

Childhood experience accompanies wise people throughout their lives. They yearn for it again - for the same innocence, the same amazement, the same beauty. Now it is like a distant echo, a sweet dream. However, all religions are born from the undying childlike desire for wonder, truth, beauty, life dancing everywhere. In the singing of birds, in the colors of the rainbow, in the fragrance of flowers, somewhere deep inside, the child remembers the lost paradise.

It is not by chance that in all the religions of the world there is a parable about how once a person lived in paradise and for some reason was forced to leave it. These are different stories, different parables, but they emphasize a simple truth: these stories poetically tell about the fact that a person was born in paradise, and then lost it. Backward, stupid people have completely forgotten about this. But intelligent, sensitive, creative people still strive to feel that paradise that they once knew and of which, unfortunately, they have only faint memories left. They begin to search for it again.
