#Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Channel, an eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic for writing a wonderful critical appreciation on my poem
'A LOOK AT LIFE-8'. Thank you very much, sir, for your beautiful words
Smruti Ranjaniji,
Your poem titled"A Look At Life-8" is a poem that poses questions to the Almighty for the existential dilemmas, we the human beings encounter in our day to day lives here in this world at the present juncture. The poem begins with posing that fundamental question regarding the very purpose of human lives here in this universe, are we here to satiate our desires or are we here to fulfil the material desires of life? The question that is to be asked again here is that what is the meaning of this life here in this world? Do we live in this world for the sake of living or do we have anything else to attain from this life such as spiritual needs and requirements? The pertinent truth is that we are here in the world to achieve that higher reality where the rudimentary aspects of life have no place, in this world of make-belief nature, we need to accomplish our duties and responsibilities and move on to that heavenly realm where we find true and ultimate happiness and contentment. It is very difficult to accept the reality that we only lead the miniature forms of life here on this earth compared to the full-fledged lives envisaged for us there in heaven and life on earth is a big illusion and we need to cross from this illusion into the realm of spirituality in the world divinity. The one quality that we need to inculcate in our lives is that to have the ability to see the embodiments of God in everything, then our lives become very positive and forward-looking to the core. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.
