Abstract

Bhushan is so much influenced by Wordsworth that his love for nature also seems to be Wordsworthian.  Ponds and Rivers are the examples that teach the philosophy of life. Ponds are always associated with a confined life that breeds selfishness, egoism and narrow-minded. Rivers are associated with the flow of life that does not take but believes in giving life to others. Rivers teach how to be broad-minded and live for others. Rivers flow in search of identity and ultimately are lost in the sea. But, to mingle in the sea—the eternal sea is the desired goal of life. R. K. Bhushan’s Muse experiences mixed feelings, sometimes she is bruised at the contemporary landscape dotted with materialism which negates spiritualism and values in life, sometimes, she seems to be nature conscious, sometimes, she becomes philosophical to the extent that she inspires to inculcate patience and peace and sometimes, she surrenders everything at the altar of Sai Baba. The poet in Bhushan makes an inward journey right from the outward world.
