Diversion To Achieve Sense Of Freedom! Poem by Ramesh T A

As mirage, the more we go for freedom, the more it goes far away;
It supports Rousseau's view that "man is born free, yet in chains ever";
Yes, we are chained to family, friends, love and our likes in all things;
It is like man's attachment to religion, race, language and so on sure!

Due to commitments and attachments, no one is free in the world;
Our desire, due to attachments, makes us suffer a lot in life driving
All to seek refuge in religions like Buddhism or Hinduism that advocates
"Follow non-attachment and Universal love to be free from sufferings! "

Though that is hard and difficult to follow in life, that helps much ever;
But all are not so resolute to follow that in the fast material world sure;
Consequently, man seeks diversions in various sources in the world
Such as Arts, music, literature, Poetry and Nature to attain freeness!

Beauty of Nature, heart touching words of Poetry, soul lifting music
And mind absorbing arts seem to be best to attain freeness by diversion!
