Here, some danger exists, mm? and you are naturally alert about it. But that will disappear. The more and more you trust me, the more it will disappear. It is a kind of fear of something I may do for which you are not ready, that's all.
You are afraid of something that I can do which you may not like or for which you are not yet ready; you are not willing to go that far yet. But I never do that.

And children can learn far more easily because they have nothing to unlearn. The slate is clean. They are not yet corrupted by the society, so much is possible.
Anand means bliss, and vihari means playfulness blissful playfulness. And by saying to be playful I am giving you a message: don't be serious about the search. It is very easy to find truth if one is not serious, because seriousness Is a shadow of the ego and playfulness is innocence, the innocence of a child.
So take life, the search, sincerely but not seriously. Be involved in it, but very playfully. Let it be a
