Monk And Mother Poem by Rekha Mandagere
Monk And Mother
One who devoids himself from worldly life
Always engaged in the pursuit of noble divine
By changing the curtain of reality to the heaven
Eager to wash away all the memories of grief
Makes you smile by taking you away for a brief
Goes away as a speedy flash unattached, is a Monk
The one who makes the weeping child smile
By supporting its balanced growth when it is fragile
Initiates the child to live with the spirits of Divine
But always binds the child with both- earth and heaven
Smiles with the child, cries with the child and always dearer
Closer, Trust-worthy, ever devoted to stand as a shade attached is Mother!
You've done a good job at comparing a monk and a mother. Both are in an attempt to connect with God. The similarity ends there. The monk devoid of the world-ly is no comparison to the mother who can achieve what she has set out for. Thanks for sharing this one.
Fascinating comparison of the office of monks and mothers....only problem is, the monk is doomed to perish, ...the mother is not necessarily.....I am unfamiliar with the religion myself, so cannot argue the verity of this, but as you've depicted it, the two do seem very similar. In both cases, neither connects the child with God, yet she may instruct the child in His Ways from His Word.
Intelligently distinguished two singularity. Its the professional work for a lawyer but as a poet we expect more from a writing as a poem. Thank you. Regards, pranab
A Philosophical comparison of a mothers love and devotion....I want to say a BIG thank you for blessing us with this beautiful piece...
This is another great poem Rekha! It is such a well-spoken piece and it exemplifies the deep love between a mother and child. Well-worded my friend!
I would like to thank you for writing such a good poem. Your comparison is fantastic. Nobody is like mother. She is the most reverred entity on the earth. She is greater than even Heaven which lies under her feet. Excellent stuff.
A great comparison and I would prefer Mother for her unlimited love!
