Intellect: A Forbidden Fruit Comments

vibhav, you are that... beyond the body, mind and soul....

Have you read Robin Cook's novel, 'The God Player'? When intellect comes to dominate, the natural innocence is lost. It inflates the body's ego to such an extent that we boast of writing our own destiny ignoring the vastness of existence and its multiple facets.. And that is the beginning of all miseries.It is the childlike innocence that is the source of the bliss of the garden of Eden A wonderful poem. Thank you for sharing.

there are many poetic features which are precipitated in your writing… the piquant vocabulary reveals your poetic taste.. the monologue states the variance of two states, that is being animal as born crude and the other the intellect emerging out of the consumption of the forbidden fruit… The Biblical imagery is great as it is symbolic too… The goal of life again is what we acquire by our learning or through the natural instincts… The reference of Lucifer as satan brings the Eden garden scene before our eyes… Well penned….I loved reading it.. Keep it up Vaibhav…
