We all came into this world gifted with innocence,
but gradually, as we became more intelligent, we
lost our innocence.
We were born with silence and as we grew up,
we lost the silence and were filled with words.
We lived in our hearts and as time passed, we
moved into our heads.
Now the reversal of this journey is enlightenment.
It is the journey from the head back to the heart,
from words back to silence; getting back to our
innocence in spite of our intelligence.
Although very simple, this is a great achievement.
Eckhart Tolle
