Child

Except ye become as little children, ye will not enter the

Kingdom of Heaven - Matthew 18:3

If you wish to experience heaven
Kiss the cheek of a sleeping child
If you wish to cross the ocean seven
Wipe its teary eyes soft and mild.

The passage to heaven is narrow
Mind as innocent as a child can pass
No room for your bow and arrow
Cut your pride as tall as a grass.


A great sage is like a small child
Radiant face filed with innocence
Smiles softly even if he is wild
And his hair has a mystical fragrance.- Vasant Khisty

A man as innocent and loving as a small child can only enter Heaven. Heaven and hell have been described in many scriptures and there seems to be commonality there. Here Bible doesn’t mean small child as physically small child but your mind and thoughts have to be innocent like a child. As men grow old they start behaving like small children. May be that is a preparation to close the cycle and re enter into Gods Kingdom.
