Poem on Entertainment-Enlightenment
My Lord tells me:
"Stop your outer entertainment."
My Lord tells me:
"Start you inner enlightenment."
I think we can all see this reality everywhere we look in most of the
technologically developed world. It seems that entertainment is
offered everywhere many times as a way to forget why we are actually
on this earth and what we truly are striving for in this incredible
experience of being human.
I am sure much more can be said in regards to this illumining poem.
There is a book Sri Chinmoy has written called, 'Entertainment vs.
Enlightenment' which can be found in the srichinmoylibrary link.
