MESSAGE :
to stop all the activities, keeping quiet of mind, not doing anything else.
we must cease all our activities and be quiet for a moment and come under one
umbrella of silence breaking the differences we possess.
a call to break the barriers of enmity, every creed, caste, religion and country and get
united to introspect ourselves for a better world.
To create the state of equilibrium ( balance) which is without any movement, without
any activity, without any rush and without any sound.
We shall get a chance to introspect within ourselves whether we are right or wrong, true
or false.
Demands to retrospect i.e. to look back at our past events and thus evaluate for good.
We only get an opportunity to introspect or retrospect when we find ourselves in the
state of being quiet.
The poet wishes to teach us by giving the example of earth which at one season may
look as if dead but comes back with life in another season. Likewise our life will also bear
certain meaning when we walk on the right path i.e. introspecting in silence.
