Sin, what is your understanding <br />Mine is this <br />Any act that will have reasons <br />For you to regret later is a sin <br />“Act” here includes even <br />Your thought process <br /> <br />“We are all sinners” <br />Declares a religion <br />“I am the most sinful” <br />Is the description of the self <br />By most of the yesteryears' <br />Hindu religious preachers, <br />Who are even now talked about <br />And held in great reverence <br />They declared themselves sinful <br />Probably because they only knew <br />Their thought processes, <br />Which would have fallen in 'sin' category <br />All these point to one thing <br />That we are bound to commit sin <br />Physically, verbally or mentally <br /> <br />Modern or scientific <br />Definition of sin could be <br />Any act that will load with you <br />Negative charges leading you <br />To unproductive or anti-productive <br />Physical, verbal or mental acts <br /> <br />It is, therefore, apparent <br />Physical act or verbal abuse <br />Alone does not constitute a sin <br />Your thought process, too <br />Can be a sin <br />If it conforms to the <br />Above description <br /> <br />Be watchful on your thoughts <br />Know how frequently <br />You entertain negative or sinful thoughts <br />The more frequently you give room <br />To such thoughts <br />The more sinful you become<br /><br />Bashyam Narayanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-much-sinful-are-thee/
