'The Essence of Youth' ?

I have written about the 'Essence of Youth' in a past post that I posted here . Click HERE to read about that article .

I contemplated on what the 'Essence of Youth' is and I think I have found the answer . The answer , to me , is Innocence . Innocence , always produce this youthful feeling ....somehow ignorant to the harsh and unforgiving world 'outside' .

I felt that we all have this pure 'Essence of Youth' in us . It's only that we did not know that it is still in our heart . Our True Nature , our Buddha Nature ... is always there .... right in our heart of our being . Our purity is always untainted in essence .. but it's our disillusioned and attached perception that discriminate between pure and impure... dirty and clean , finite and infinite , true and false , good and bad , permanent and impermanent .

So , now you know about my view of the 'Essence of Youth' . Do sit in contemplation and contemplate about what life means to you ... and what life is about . Who are you ? Where is your origin ? Why are you here ?

If you can answer these questions , you have already been self-realized .
