LOST SPIRIT
Where is the spirit in man gone?
It seems man has substituted it
with the pseudo-knowledge
which has occupied a place
above the state of his being
Today man is mad for possessions
this madness of possession has possessed his spirit
he is bent upon accumulating
more knowledge, more materials
for what ?
He does not have time to think
this ostensibly foolish question.
Where is the spirit in man
which recognizes the greatness of a being ?
Perhaps it has been narrowed to
evaluate a being with his accumulations
of wealth, fame and degrees.
Where is the spirit in man
which is always benevolent ?
Has it transformed into
intimidating and making slaves
of his own brethren
through deadly nuclear arsenal ?
Where is the spirit in man
which is always free ?
The spirit in man is still there
but it has lost its freedom.
It seems computer is more than a master
for the weak spirit of man.
Invigorating thoughts encountered by Manohar
Very rightly said.
ReplyDeleteBut now it seems the man is making an effort to free its spirit from the bondings of its own creation. SGI and BSG is an effort in the direction of making the spirit in man surface again boldly.
