Since I have a new born, off late, I try & relate a lot of stuff kids do...
What wonders me most is as soon as babies are born & start their 1st minute on earth, how do they realize that they are hungry. They start crying non stop till they are fed. How will such small ones, who has not spent even one 1 hour on earth, realize that they are hungry. Even more wondering thing is how will they realize that if they drink milk from mouth their stomach would be full. Who would teach them how to suck? Who would teach them that taking food/milk in mouth would fill their stomach? How would they realize that their stomach is full & that they need to stop drinking milk? Crying is a natural instinct for kids. But what makes them cry when they are hungry? What makes them smile when they are not hungry?
As the days progress, I have seen kids smile & cry in their sleep. I have heard elders saying that they smile/cry in their sleep when they actually dream. Dream??? A kid dreaming of something who knows nothing in life??? That's not something acceptable. But definitely there must be something which makes them smile & cry in their sleep. TO explore further, I have had discussion on this with some known & experienced people. They are of the opinion that people do have rebirths and that this birth has no remembrance of previous life, but kids would remember it, till they can actually start communicating. Once they learn to communicate & they get absorbed into this present life they forget their previous life... Now, when they smile or cry, they are said to have dreamt of their previous life. Any good incidence in previous life is said to bring smile on their face in their sleep & any bad or not so good incidence is said to bring them a cry while they are asleep. Someone also further went a step ahead and mentioned, when you see the baby crying in the sleep, its when the God says, hey your Mommy is dead !!! & baby cries :)))) Well, may not be true, or may be true for there is no technology yet to see what others dream off...!!!
Slowly as the months pass by, babies put all their effort to learn to crawl, followed by trying to stand & walk. Now what amazes me is who is teaching them to do this? They don't understand what we say & we don't understand what is going through their mind. Who is controlling all this? Who makes them do what they do? Who tells them who their mother is? Who teaches them to speak those 1st words? Who teaches them to say words which means those correct words? How do they get so attached to "Their" people/folks. Who is the master mind behind all this? My minds whirls around WHO, WHO & WHO???
Since this is not something easily explainable, I tend to agree with elders when they say GOD controls everything in kid & only God can protect kids. Now, when it comes to Indian culture, giving a shape & a name to the GOD is not something easily that I accept. I have my own set of arguments for justifying we don't essentially need to give shape & name to GOD. But definitely agree & strongly believe that there is a supernatural power which controls all this.I have a strong feeling that day today birth & death across the globe is something that is out of technological research to find out of how & why!!! So it is only that Supernatural power which controls all this... Now, do I call this in simple terms as Supernatural power or do I accept with rest of the world & call it GOD? This is something that I am still fighting on with myself!!!!!

Survival tactics if u want to name it as anything else. Darwins - survival of the strongest scientifically :) and that's how they know their basics.
ReplyDeleteAs far smiling, crying.. I think since they need to do something and donno what else to do, they just do those .. ha ha ha.
Learning of standing and all.. they see all of us do that and learn.. :)
Okay.. i sound dry I guess.. but I agree.. nothing else in this world makes more sense than watching the lil ones do cutest of things and no pleasure is parallel to that.
