Climbing up the wrong tree of religion
Yet, rooted in the same soil of humanity!
The man on the other branch, is he not your brother?
Fixated on the colored fruits, hanging in your own branch
Intoxicated on the pompous drink, of self-righteousness
Blinded to reason; but driven by heartless passion
Is that why, you cannot really see!
It’s the same old bark, and the same holy tree
Brothers of the same seeds
Forever in arms, if we really choose to be!
Clinging to the colour, of some illusionary fruit
And fighting over the fragrance of their blessed flowers
If all your life is lost, in the pointless rituals of one mighty tree
Tell me dear brother
Can the mind really be free?
seriously whichever branch we chose to sit on, when do we get a chance to evolve to be complete humans?
ReplyDeleteEvery moment one has the choice to act as a complete human or a monkey clinging to a single branch ..the choice is made every moment.
DeleteAlso one realizes he is an integral part of the man in the other branch, and also all men, the tree, the whole forest and the whole universe. Understanding this interdependence one has the insight to see his own role in the tree and hence can have a choice to rise above it
The mind can not be free. Man made religion, and religion made divisions to seek and promote his vested interests and to exploit the poor weak minded innocents.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for man to rise above his divisive thinking ?
Deleteonly when liberated from primitive, parochial to obtrusive civilized free mind.
