A child is born. A child is clear because the ego is not formed. The moment ego appears, the unclarity, the confusion, enters. A child is clear, clarity but he will have to gather knowledge, information, culture, religion, and conditionings necessary, useful to the worldly life. He will have to gather many things from everywhere, from many sources -- opposite, contradictory sources. From many sources he will gather. Then the he becomes store house of hotchpotch knowledge.
