A Peep Into Modern Mind .
My vagabond drag me into a discourse ,
The validity of a modern mind and its force .
He wished to know its probability's cause ,
What the 'collective will' should ,gain and lose .
I said without bias ,-of empathy's cultivation ,
The removal of strong desires , and morbid motion .
I proposed , nonattachment , and service without return ,
I lamented on the hubris of professional Fun !
The vagabond winked to explain the link ,
The inert , conscious , and unconscious things .
I felt it was beyond psychology of blind logic ,
The wisdom of the self ,-the grasp of Divine magic .
Yes , a modern mind must communicate ,
As the Sun through the mirror does reflect .
Yes , a modern mind sees the thing as they are ,
It abridges the remotest past , and future afar .
