Faith for Salvation – II

a poem by Ramesh T A

Many people believe in fetish objects, totemic animals, cult myths,
Mazdaic cult and many more religions of the world men conceive;
The ideas of such beliefs encourage them to live life in the world,
For, ideas give confidence, transform emotion and inspire action;
The faith of the people on these ideas if meets with failure, then
They change over to new beliefs or become sceptical in life!

Ideas are for realisation of feelings that give confidence and inspiration;
Now old ideas of religion have given way to new ideas of civilisation!
Nowadays people believe in ideas of immediate result but not favour later;
So, ideas of nationalism, power and progress swapped for creation, love and loyalty.

Still materialists, humanists and spiritualists believe in politics, literature and religion;
But ambitionists believe in ideas of politics and progress against all others;
That is why belief of transcendental realism is replaced by visual realism!
However strong one may be intellectually, physically or morally in life
Unless one has faith anxiety at the critical moment cannot be avoided;
This is common for all human beings whatever be the status in world.

Petty or vital matters, the uncertainty of life forces men to have faith
In the ideas of literature or religion so as to live well in the human world;
But, for solving the problems in life, limitation of man and so on
The last resort for salvation would be faith in transcendentalism only.
Though modern world is uncompromising, change of time will restore
Faith in transcendental realism slowly from mad pursuits of materialism!
