Can children understand the truth?

Children understand truth with pristine clarity, but maturity invites a 'second childhood' where we regain that innocence consciously, transforming naive understanding into awakened awareness.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Kids see truth clearly but don’t realize it; grown-ups can get that clear seeing back—with knowing—through meditation and maturity.
Why this matters practically
- Shape parenting and education to nurture awareness and wonder instead of overloading with facts.
- Practice meditation to recover childlike clarity with mature understanding.
- Trust direct seeing over secondhand concepts to reduce confusion.
