सोचने के लिए -4

सोचने के लिए -4 
--
शंस् > शंस्यते > प्रशंसा करना > to praise, to appreciate,
न-शंस् / नि शंस् > अविद्या (मिथ्या ज्ञान / जानकारी) > nescience,
śaṃs > śaṃsyate > na-śaṃs / ni śaṃs
> Science > Nescience > अव नि शंस् ava ni śaṃ s > innocence, the state of mind prior to acquisition of 'knowledge'.
Thus, a pure mind is devoid of knowledge and what is acquired by a man through society is but worldly knowledge / concepts only. When one is just a child he is innocent because absence of this acquired knowledge. But the latent tendencies soon get accommodated with this knowledge / information and one has to strive hard to overcome this and re-connect to the earlier state of innocence that he had while he was not indoctrinated by 'knowledge'. This knowledge is useful but not true wisdom.
Shedding off from mind all conditioning is needed to re-join that pure innocence, the pristine state of awareness one was born with.
