How is innocence the royal gateway for ignorance and is simultaneously liked by God?

[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Swami, You recently said that innocence is the royal gateway for ignorance. But, previously You said that God likes innocence in us and we should never show intelligence before God. But, we need intelligence to analyse the knowledge given by God. Please correlate these sentences. At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Laxmi Thrylokya]

Swami replied:- These sentences shall be taken in their proper contexts:- 1) Innocence is the gateway for ignorance:- This means that your innocence, which is lack of sharp analysis, is the gateway for ignorance because through sharp analysis we can remove our ignorance so that we will understand the entire spiritual knowledge that is needed as the first step of the spiritual path.

2) God likes innocence and we should never show intelligence before God:- This means that you shall be always frank and sincere (innocence) without using your over-intelligence before God with a view to exploit God.
