I am well aware that the only sins in this life are mine, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Sins? Sins? What is a sin? That action which causes us to repent later is a sin.

All of us are guilty of such actions.
During this whole week, I was considering "if life and its actions are predestined, you know, by Fate, then all our appointments and dialogues are preplanned. We are only doing the acting. Then who is the sinner?"

I came up with some intriguing answers from the Gita. But first, tell me what you think.

I am looking forward to a fresh breath in the wild.
I am just tired of this monotonous routine,
the boring repetitive city life.
So, here is the appropriate poem:
- by Ralph Waldo Emerson.


Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home;
Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-arc on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world! I'm going home.

Good-bye to flattery's fawning face;
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye;
To supple Office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street;
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go, and those who come;
Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home.

I am going to my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone,-
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
... ...

I will soon be there. Peace.
