Welcome..
September 2005: Innocence
Innocence is a natural component of your being. There is nothing to do, get, or achieve. By simply allowing yourself to be in the present moment, innocence will effortlessly wind its way into every moment of your life.
Most dictionaries we've read define “innocence” in the following ways:
Uncorrupted by evil, malice, or wrongdoing; legally blameless; sinless; not dangerous or harmful; candid; not experienced or worldly; naïve; suggesting no deception; childlike.
One of the best models for innocence is to observe a child at play. A child typically has no expectations when it comes to discovering a new playmate, animal, or toy. And children can be the perfect role model for each of us when it comes to remembering our inherent innocence, our ability to be in the present moment, and most of all, our natural inclination to enjoy our precious time together during this incarnation.
This month, Namaste invites you to focus on the beginners mind, and observe yourself as you infuse innocence, joy, and light heartedness into even the most simple of your daily activities. When we are truly innocent, we are at the level of the soul—we are in a place of purity that exists within us separate from all the conditioning we have experienced as humans on the planet. When we are innocent, we harbor no grievances, there are no scores to settle, there is no need to be right – we are defenseless and unconditioned and able to fully enjoy the present moment without our past disappointments, expectations, or “baggage” influencing our state of being.
Innocence is the fountain of youth, the secret of the universe, and the holy grail -- all within our grasp each moment of every day -- always ours for the asking. During our morning meditations at the Chopra Center, we read the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and in particular the law of the day. On Wednesdays, we apply the the Law of Least Effort into our lives through three daily practices – Acceptance, Responsibility, and Defenselessness.
We accept that this moment is as it should be; we take responsibility for what we see and experience; and we relinquish the need to defend our point of view. In essence, we surrender to our most intuitive state of innocence. In this state of least effort, we become one with the universe, as innocently as a raindrop joins the sea, and a cloud melts into the sky.
Deepak and David speak of innocence as that present moment awareness we achieve through meditation, being in love, and serving others. This present moment awareness is very powerful because it intuitively teaches us that nothing is impossible. As Namaste readers around the world witness the fragile state of humanity, the suffering from natural disasters, and complexities of our daily existence, through present moment awareness, we can find the seeds of grace, empowerment, and global harmony. Through your own innocence all things become possible.
