Here is another micro-story, friends.
I see Him now.
The newborn child opened its eyes looking for Him. The eyes went all around. No, He was not to be found.
A charcha ensued between the eyes and the child's soul. He could not be found in the charcha.
The helpful stranger holding the child picked up a mask of Sri Krishna and showed it to the child. The child looked beyond. ‘Mother’ playfully put the mask gently on the face.
The child did not find Him in the mask. But it gave a smile of encouragement.
‘Mother’ put out her palms and gently pressed the temples of the child in affectionate admiration. ‘Not there’, thought the child. ‘Anyway I cannot look at my temples.’
‘Not in the charcha, your mask or my temples!’ The child closed its eyes. ‘I see Him now!’
charcha- a warm discussion, dispute

Thank you.
The blessed child whose life was saved from the mother of all weapons by HIM searched for him everywhere and peered at every face that came close to him.
Those who were around couldnt understand why but observed what was happening and named him Parikshit.
The child ,as he was left to his own devices found Him finally.
There is also a belief that infants smile in their sleep as they behold His vision then.Modern medical Science may have some other explanation though.
The word temples may be a pun , but still the last line holds true.
If a person cant find any temples nearby he/she in sheer desperation,is bound to search within.
Regards

...great thoughts..
there is nothing greater than our admiration for the subtle laugh of a newborn child...
the look at the mask shows us that the newborn walks into the world with character right at the get go..
...it is not learned
...the insight flows right out of the source
...perhaps the tabula rosa is in fact krishna
