and they open the doors to you.

If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -

and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.
