Refining Consciousness

Human life is one of His sublime creations. Blessed life is entangled in the clutches of relations. Diametric elements often co-exist. Dragon bees and sweet honey exist at one hive. The seven sins pride, wrath, lust, avarice, Envy, gluttony and sloth consume souls. Excessive pride of Icarus led to his downfall. Blake’s ‘A poison Tree’, about wrath is an eye-opening. Fall of Troy, envy of Shylock, avarice of King Midas teach us good lessons Gluttony leads to ugly and shameful body posture. Sloth pushes into procrastination of doings. Try to overcome. No need to encipher the secrets of scriptures And no need to chant magical words. Let's unmask our consciences and provide space for introspection. We can get insight and rebuild our behavior. Self-Examination is the best practice. Let's be aware of what we think, speak and do. Managing emotions builds our decorum Right perception builds right personality. Refining consciousness is mandatory to get rid of all impurities. Placed: 6th Refining consciousness Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker Date: 01-05-2023
