Our Inner Buddha Baby

When we are born, our hearts are open, like the Buddha baby.

For thousands of years, babies have been carried on their mothers' bodies, creating bonded relationships. Now we may pay thousands to decorate our nurseries, but still neglect the baby's need for closeness.

When no one comes, the baby feels abandoned and sorrowful. This deep pain becomes unbearable, so when our egos form, we wall it off.

Later in life, feeling vague emotional pain, we might take up spiritual practices. Ideally, these practices would lead us to healing the anguish of the baby. But sometimes we just do practices superficially.

Connecting with our inner baby and feeling its original pain isn’t easy. But if we find the courage to gently pick it up, embrace, & feel its sorrow, the trauma can be released. Gradually, we become more compassionate, wiser, & happier.

Premasudha talks to Bhavani and Dharadevi, & we can see that satsangs help us heal our alienated hearts and weave our true Natures into our bodies.
