The first day's sun
questioned
the new appearance of being –
Who are you?
There was no answer.

As I was reading through the commentary for the poem, this little bit caught my eye.

For me, this poem catches the unanswered question of existence from the Hindu
point of view: "There was no answer." I find this profoundly sad.

Here is a very short critique of this comment and, indeed, the post itself.
It must be noted that there is no "the Hindu point of view". This is a very common, even elementary, sort of error that people make with Hinduism. It is a mistake to think that somehow, -all- Hindus believe that the question of existence has no answer just because there is a reference in some religious text somewhere that there was a reference to a "no answer" at some point to some question. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the existence of this reference somehow makes it a part of "the Hindu point of view".
