“Childlike Holiness”

Excerpt from “Remembering Eternity”: “As Skylar brought to mind other sayings of Jesus regarding the Kingdom, he remembered the words about children: “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.” Skylar mentally ran over his stored images of Saints: Adi Shankara, Ramana Maharishi, Teresa of Avila, Ramakrishna, Swami Ramdas, Saint Francis, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Anandamayi Ma, Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama. All of them shared an obvious childlike innocence. It seemed as if the discovery of one’s essential nature rinsed away the accumulated grime of ignorance and allowed one to shine in the fresh skin of a newborn. The weight of worry disappeared along with the clouds of serious concern. One lived in Bliss and Love and one’s face radiated them. Being born again meant being born as a Being of Spirit, ceasing to identify oneself as an ego in a body, and comprehending one’s nature as Infinite. With this birth, the Realized Being gained the innocence of an immaculate child, the innocence that would allow that Being to enter the Kingdom of God.”
