Childish imaginations: Be true to the dreams you saw in your childhood

I have done a lot of mischief in my childhood, but I remember some mischiefs which I remember even today. There were many trees outside our house. We were children who used to go jogging or running every morning and used to enjoy climbing trees and plucking fruits every day, and it felt like a fight. Eating mango feels very good. Every day while coming, we used to see a person staring at us.

We did not know those trees were his, and he deliberately ignored us. A few months later, we learned that he was the owner, but he never said a word about his fruits. In fact, he watched us do those childish activities and enjoyed them. Perhaps, he was living his own childhood in our naughty acts.

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer an American philosopher, Motivational speaker and self-help writer who died a couple of years ago at the age of 75 wrote more than 30 books but his book “Your Erroneous Zones,” written 40 years ago, is still one of the best-selling books.

Dr. Wayne Dyer was very much motivated by Abraham Harold Maslow, another American better known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and one of our own gurus, Muktananda, a Siddha Yoga guru who was the founder of the Siddha Yoga spiritual path. Wayne always said Swami Muktananda was his true guru, who helped him learn life’s finer points of joy and happiness.

Wayne said something very realistic, "Adults and fantasy do not complement each other well, as adults who wander in the world of fantasy are considered unbelievable or even funny. They feel there is no use wasting your precious time thinking about things that will never materialize in your real life."

However, the children do not think in those terms, but for them, every new imagination is a solid possibility. They like to cook up stories, dream about impossible things, and enjoy them. They create wonderful paintings and trust me everything they do as children helps them in their future lives.

Once you know the child within yourself, you will feel satisfied. So be true to the dreams you saw in your younger days.

You can at most call them childish wishful thinking, but that is important for their mental development. In the process, some innovative ideas come from their childish imaginations.

As they say, “When a child opens his eyes for the first time on his arrival in this world, they don’t want to change it, but they are eager to know as much about the world as possible”.

The fact is, the child within all of us knows how to face the world, but our adult minds are not ready to face the hardships. But once we learn to live as children, we feel happier and younger than our actual age. I am enjoying that stage right now despite my busy off and online schedule
