Art, Entertainment and Something which heals heart are all suppose to be the synonyms of Poetry but is it fair enough to limit it only within these boundaries , shouldn’t we actually thought about the organised and well sustained behaviour of poetry? And while asking this I must quote one of the historian “Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla” of Hindi Literature who in one of his essays “ What is Poetry”  defines poetry as a Librated state of soul in the process of composition of Words.

 जिस प्रकार आत्मा की मुक्तावस्था ज्ञानदशा कहलाती है, उसी प्रकार हृदय की यह मुक्तावस्था रसदशा कहलाती है। हृदय की इसी मुक्ति की साधना के लिए मनुष्य की वाणी जो शब्द-विधान करती आई है, उसे कविता कहते हैं। इस साधना को हम भावयोग कहते हैं और कर्मयोग और ज्ञानयोग का समकक्ष मानते हैं। 1

The other prominent question which arises is what actually poetry does?, sometimes it’s the flower on the tip of the knife, working as a tool to create a sense of rectification and sometimes it acts as flowers swirling in the margins, giving you a sense of living in poignant habitat. Poetry allows you to sustain your life while keeping humanity as one of the core parameters within your heart. It ties people with the most intricate and minute clocks of nature, it allows you to look a situation from subjective feeling and it also make you free from the necessity of regularity as most vital part of living.

In the process of liberating heart and mind it doesn’t make you free completely from this world, the depiction of relative political consciousness and social stigmas is something which poetry also does. Poetry is the moment between the classification of the truth and the conflicts of the heart. One of the Critics “Namvar Singh” in his book “Kavita Ke naye Pratiman”   writes that,

                                “कविता की स्वतंत्रता का जब जब प्रश्न आया है मैंने “ सापेक्ष स्वतंत्रता “ का पक्ष लिया है।“
