Baby thinks?

There was a beautiful question...

What do babies think?

I was amused at the very 'assumption' that everybody has to think.... something or the other... all the time!... Maybe, a non-thinking spell... duration... period really scares!... It does not even occur that when we restore our 'being' in a deep sleep state, there could be a few moments of an utterly thought-less state!

The moment we open our eyes, we know what we are looking at... For most of us, the very first thought would be 'what time is it now?'.... How does it matter anyway! Just get going...!!!

Every object that the eye beholds, rests upon, or even spans-across, gets identified at a tremendous speed! (In that movie, 'The Godfather' the owner of a prize winning horse, was given the chance to look at the chopped head of his dear horse, the first thing in the morning! Don Corleone knew how to mimic the 'early-bird'...!!! Our ancient Masters too knew 'how to'.. they prescribed that we look at our palms... open palms, ... just watching it, for a while ... kuch-kuch-zaroor hota hai... and then run it accross the face downwards, gently... the face gets freshened up with that 'gaze-energised palm'... the first gaze comes from a fresh, single pointed, well focused, and a relatively-unconditional mind ! May be the day begins a bit better!... no harm in trying it out... If the itch to try something else is there... may be start with trying to find out if we are still breathing, even while the eyes are yet to open! .. I assume, we wake up first, and then open the eyes... not the other way!)

Anyway, the question was amazing...

What do the babies think?

Really, ...... it is anybody's guess!

I tried out what I felt, could be a closer possibility, dismissing the very assumption that 'babies too have to think...!!!

Well, it looks like... it hit the mark!....

The remark/comment says it all....

That polished, sophisticated way of putting it... 'your interpretation'... clearly hints, that we tried to interpret the concept of 'answer' itself.... and made it into a reply, through an appropriate response... thereby.... making it(that 'assumption') redundant & also making it   a bit obvious! (At home, we know-too-well... when we ask a 'simple-looking-question'... like, 'is the breakfast ready?'.. ... if it is asked, when the day itself began a bit late for that family, and the question is timed earlier than the usual/normal day... the answer gets interpreted into a loud noise of the very next vessel that is being handled inside the kitchen, and invariably, everybody else 'understands'.. clearly too... the reply/response... not a word need be spoken more!)

It is quite another matter, whether the implication of what constitutes a 'wonderment' what a wonder-(really)-meant... had tried to occur to the other person.... (Maybe, it deals with the need to float yet another question!)

How about trying to wake up the way a baby does, most of its time... most of its waking hours?... with a 'wonder' on the mind... and therefore a wonder-full-face!

Wonderfully yours,

What does babies think in their initial growing period?

Q.1. I was wondering what small babies would be thinking during their initial period

of growth?

Q.2. If we are not taught anything and we dont learn anything at all during our

growing period, then what would be thinking when we are grown as adults?

My answer:

Most of the time, babies keep wondering... that is why they look wonderful!

Grown up people stop wondering, unless they see something very strange, and do not

know what it is... they wonder, "Hey! I wonder what this could be... I wonder what

this is... I wonder why this is like this?' etc...
