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!
Philosophical comparison indeed. While both beging with alphabet M, monk, especaially modern cannot be taken at face value. While the other M will remain the same, her attachment, sincerity and her plaibility to her offspring, yesterday, today, and tomarrow.
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
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.
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!

On the other hand, the natural/earthly mother does not connect the child with God, but she may instruct the child in His Ways from his Word.
