Culture Or Civilization? Poem by Ramesh T A

Doing everything with care is culture that makes one enjoy work with involvement;
But mechanically finishing work is civilization with no human touch among machines;
Culture and civilization are like human and machine job of life in the modern world;
Material gain or spiritual satisfaction of one lies in choosing civilization or culture!

Life is acquiring knowledge to live life accordingly enjoying bliss to attain absolute state;
That is cultural way of life to live in this world to have harmonious human development;
But for material benefits and enjoying comforts are aim of life of civilization in modern world;
Mingling of theses two is wise way of life to live in the world of machines and humans!

Comforts are necessary but completion of human life well is purpose of birth here;
That only can give real happiness and peace in this world to meet end with joy;
Our purpose is not to suffer in illusion but enjoy in reality to achieve peace sure;
Art of living is successful expression of one's Self possible by human culture only!

Many spend time wasting in the clash between culture and civilization forever;
Instead it is wise to work and enjoy life combing both to have joy, satisfaction and pride!
