SOMETHING I LOOK AT-46
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Conflict,
both inside and outside,
inside it is a struggle between
mind and conscience,
between the values
i inculcated and the goals I cherish.

Outside,
it is a war of me against all,
between what i relish and
what i accomplish.
It is a continuous struggle
of each against all
for the avenues of life,
comfort, luxury, pelf, power, recognition
and all that makes
modern life a beauty.

With the tide of desires running high
and the wind of instincts and emotions
propelling it
the real I seem to
be sadly missing in the horizon.

To reconcile
the irreconcilable conflicts in life
one has to peep inside to
have a glimpse of his real nature
which is but divinity expanded
and to understand the futility of
rat race for accomplishment
appreciation and recognition
which gives nothing but more
desires, more conflicts and pain.

Happiness and peace of mind,
all that one needs
at the end of the day
never come out
of worldly pursuits,
it descends as self-realisation
and lies in a contented mind
where there is no conflict
what so ever.
