Chetu’s introduction to the metaphysical and the possibility of Self-realization has begun quite early. Or should I say rather early. This weekend, his father came up to me with a twinkle in his eyes after having given the little lad his bath.
Father : You know I have introduced Chetu to the concept of the Self. I have told him that at the core, he is God himself.
Mother : Okayy…
Chetu (shouts in the background) : I am God, I am God.
Cut to playtime. Chetu is messing around with his friend Pranav, a sweet little boy of the same age (almost 5).
Chetu : Pranav, you know you are not a human being.
Pranav : Eh?
Chetu : Yeah you are not a human being, you are God. I am also God.
Pranav : Give me your cycle.
Mother : Mmmfmf…
