The simple faith of a child :
When a man has true knowledge he feels that everything is filled with Consciousness.
At Kamarpukur I used to talk to Shibu, who was then a lad four or five years old.
When the clouds rumbled and lightning flashed, Shibu would say to me: 'There, uncle! They are striking matches again!' (all laugh)
One day I noticed him chasing grasshoppers by himself.
The leaves rustled in the near-by trees. 'Hush! Hush!' he said to the leaves.
'I want to catch the grasshoppers.'
He was a child and saw everything throbbing with consciousness.
One cannot realize God without the faith that knows no guile, the simple faith of a child.
