Monk And Mother Comments

Rating: 4.3

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

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.

You've done a good job at comparing a monk and a mother. Both are in an attempt to connect with God. The similarity ends there. The monk devoid of the world-ly is no comparison to the mother who can achieve what she has set out for. Thanks for sharing this one.

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.

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

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.

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.
