Why does the poet realise small aim as a crime?कवि छोटे लक्ष्य को एक जुर्म क्यों समझता है? |

Answer» The poet realises that small aim is a crime because such narrow thoughts hide the talent of a man and such mentality makes a man selfish to think about himself besides others. The vision which considers for an individual cannot be called an ideal thought and becomes an offence in the society. कवि महसूस करता है कि छोटे सपने देखना एक अपराध है क्योंकि ऐसे संकुचित विचार आदमी की प्रतिभा को छुपाते हैं तथा ऐसी मानसिकता आदमी को स्वार्थी बना देती है और वह दूसरों की बजाय स्वयं के बारे में सोचता है। ऐसा लक्ष्य जो व्यक्ति विशेष के लिए बनाया जाता है एक आदर्श विचार नहीं कहा जा सकता है तथा समाज में एक अपराध बन जाता है। |
