Your original purity never disappears; it’s rediscovered by awareness and letting go. The saint is childlike, beyond rules, sin and virtue, sometimes appearing mad or ecstatic, because nothing is fixed inside—only innocence and emptiness.
Yes—when you stop stirring the mind with wants and worries, your natural childlike clarity returns.
