Where Has Love Gone?

Man is blessed with both emotion and intellect. In most of the people emotion dominates. But among intellectuals emotion takes a backseat. When one wants spiritual advancement he has to sacrifice his emotional self. Life would be happier if there is a balance between both.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Know Thyself

Understanding others is easy though it appears to be complex. But knowing oneself is the most difficult thing in the world. Reading Gita helps in discovering oneself. If a man distinguishes himself from an animal by using his reason he will understand the ultimate value of togetherness.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Inverted Poetry

The poem has political overtones. People are not bothered about politics. Politicians give gifts to win. Living only by alms from politicians makes one ineffective. Only after total destruction common man wakes up.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Deadbeat

The first stanza make me think of someone who has done everything in their power for someone and has been crushed and left without breath in the heart. Has decided they are not willing to find them once they have come back to life.
Just my humble thoughts on the first stanza alone. There is a lot of imagery poured into a piece that is shorter. Amazing details!-Poetic Beauty

What does the Line Say?

Society resists change but probing minds cannot rest without knowing the truth. They are ready to sacrifice their comfort while pursuing what the lines say and what they hide.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

For the Proud God

Adam and Eve are symbols of love. Eve was cheated but Adam ate the venomous fruit for love sacrificing God and Paradise. God’s word faded from their lives and that was the starting point of misery.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

What Do You Mean?

Know Thyself

Understanding oneself is the most difficult task in the world. No one is identically equal to anyone. Variety creates differences and results in sorrow. But man should understand that he is more evolved than an animal and maintain his humanness. Only love makes them humane.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore
