What attracts us most is innocence, it is innocence which gives an impression of purity. But, we must not understand this wrongly, knowledge of the world is necessary, more than necessary; it is necessary to live in the world, to make the best of one's life, to serve God and humanity; it is not necessary to attain spiritual knowledge, innocence is necessary for that. One sees among friends, relatives, something which attracts one most, perhaps this is the side of the nature which is innocence. People forgive those who are dear to them, they tolerate their faults. They say: "He is wrong, but he is innocent." There is a purity which is divine, and which attracts everyone. Innocence is like a spring of water, purifying all that is foreign to heart and soul.
