Man has to feel a sense of indebtedness towards people and the whole Nature. His life is a boon of this Nature and people around him but he lives as if his life is all independent and not inter-dependent. Man behaves as a thankless creature. This is the root problem. The moment we started to feel a sense of indebtedness towards the entire universe, we will become more kind and helpful towards the world around us. We will stop destroying man, property, human mind and this Nature. The effort of all religions is to bring the human mind to this attitude. All streams are not differences but only complementary functions. Till this wisdom dawns in the heart of human beings, there is no practical escape from this whirlpool. This is the clarion call of Swami Vivekananda. <br />********************************************************************************* <br /> <br />We listen to this objective world <br />But not our inner, subjective world. <br />We have enough sensation <br />But no deep, practical vision. <br /> <br />We talk nonsense <br />And are after our senses. <br />We are sensitive <br />But not enough sensible! <br /> <br />We look at the sky <br />Our gods beyond light years lie! <br />Who pays a moment to look inward <br />To feel His grace and all rewards? <br /> <br />Ope the door <br />And fill the heart with ancient lore. <br />Bring in the light <br />And wake from a long night! <br /> <br />Ope the pages of epic <br />And become men of a rare pick! <br />Bring in the air of ancient sages <br />And stay alive like one human race! <br /> <br />Ope the locks of ignorance <br />And bring in wisdom- the fragrance. <br />Feel a sense of indebtedness <br />And see how the world is void of wickedness!<br /><br />Ravi Panamanna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-road-to-peace-and-freedom/
