A Thought Has To Be There... Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

The only worth while thought to have as an antidote to everything including the monkey mind is Who am I. This according to Shri Rammana Maharishi will result in realization of the true self and liberate us from this endless chaotic, murky cesspool we call the mind or perhaps what we think we are....... Good thought provoking poem

Quiet Interesting write. Whom to blame for all these happenings. It is true said we cannot just sit and pray and think everything will be alright on its own. Until and unless no strong solutions comes, nothing is going to change. The world will move on this way itself. Yes, very true said, child's innocent mind is better than matured minds. Concluding last stanza is very beautiful. Loved reading each lines...

You are correct, Dinesh, human conflicts cannot be helped by building or honoring idols! What can they do, but stand there in your darkness, never answering you? ? Yes, I agree with you that childhood holds all the simplicity in answering our questions, it is best to trust as a child does - which is only until someone breaks that bond of trust that we find reality in life. A crumpling pedestal cannot hold our thoughts for long, therefore we must light the lamps of tomorrow in order to go on. Very thought provoking Dinesh, I like this poem very much.

When man himself makes the turmoil of conflicts, why should we blame the 'impotency' of an idol..... It is always better to be like a child, trusting things without much rationalization! People with lesser intellect, I think can easily do it! For such, life is much more easier and peaceful! When the battling twilight struggles To enter through my small windows I shall light the lamp of tomorrows! Love these lines!
