Inherent nature of a child is curiosity. When a baby comes into the world, he is innocent and naive. He is conditioned by his parents to maintain a rigid belief system. He is told what is good or bad, what must be done or avoided. He should follow a certain religion, adhere to a way of living otherwise the society will judge him and cast him aside if found to be an oddball. Similar, was the case with Rajeev, 11 years old. An inquisitive lad much ahead of his age. He used to question everything but the answers he got never satisfied him. Those who claimed knew everything, couldn't give a logical answer to simple questions such as "Do aliens on other planets also follow religion?" "What is the origin of thoughts?" "From where do dreams come from?" ... Simple questions! but he got varying answers. His innocent mind couldn't comprehend that if truth is absolute than why the answer varies. One day he met a monk. The monk listened to him patiently, laughed and uttered just one sentence as an answer "Real knowledge is Self-Realisation, there lies every answer." Dumbfounded Rajeev realised that perhaps the answer itself is in a life-journey to be undertaken.
