how does the poet convey the central idea of the poem through the journey of the brook?
Answers
Brook teaches us the message of determinedly moving on, overcoming all obstacles; and finding a detour round rock-ridden course. Similarly, a man must move towards his goal like a river or a brook if he is to achieve his goals. His path may be full of obstacles, but he must keep moving like a brook. As the brook starts its journey from high mountains, on its way to the river it flows down many valleys, hills; slips between many ridges, flows by many villages, towns and cities, passing under many bridges, ultimately it joins the brimming river. Similarly, man must pass by and overcome many obstacles before reaching his goal or destination. So brook teaches us the lesson of perseverance, flowing energetically despite all obstacles, and never giving up.
Undoubtedly, by adopting the values and virtues of the brook man can become immortal indeed. All the great personages who have become immortal, personalities such as Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Einstein, Gandhi, Vivekananda, Yogananda, Dr. Kalam, Tagore, etc. were the people who had the above mentioned qualities. Yes it is possible for man to become immortal by practicing the values and virtues of a brook.
