Detachment Is Escapism Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Detachment Is Escapism



The Hindu philosophy advocates
Detachment from worldly things and people
As the means to march towards God's Kingdom,
And as the shield against sufferings and sorrow.

Detachment demands removal of desire.
Detachments demands removal of passion.
With desire, comes the purpose of life.
With passion, comes the motive of life.

Be with desire for the world to move on.

Be with passion for the society to live..
Detachment is a kind of escapism.
Detachment is a kind of self-centeredness.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi 02 January 2013

It is a known fact that Hinduism wants one to get detached, once all his duties are done. Half baked potato like Buddha detached himself from life and abandoned his young family to suffer and then taught the principles of Hinduism as his own. So detachment at the old age is an option or not, everyone gets detached themselves from the Old people, thus old people acquire that mind set of detachment in a hard way. in certain worst scenario, old invalids have become the problem to the families and their demise is celebrated in the villages and town of India.
