Divinise Your Living

Literature offers countless horizons when approached without prejudice, yet its philosophies cannot substitute for a life shaped by the ancient sources of Darshana.

One must read literature extensively and without any discrimination. However, it is not right to take the ideals presented in that literature as the foundation of one’s life and adopt them as one’s own. Read Rabindranath Thakur, but never allow his writings to become the basis of your Adhyatmikata or your thought process. If you do, you will have no scope of ever becoming as profound as Rabi Thakur. There is always a far greater likelihood that you will remain much shallower than him, and the literature that emerges from you will be far shallower than his works.

You must always keep alive the possibility of attaining the same depth that Rabindranath Thakur achieved. Just as Rabi Thakur plunged into the ocean of Adhyatmikata and reached its profound depths, managing to arrive at the threshold of Adhyatmikata within himself, you too must become steeped in true Adhyatmikata and Darshana. For this, you have to delve deeply into the Hindu Shastras — the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Gita. The ideals, ideology, and worldview of your life must be firmly rooted in these Hindu Shastras. Only then will you experience the onset of genuine Adhyatmika progression in your Antara and Chitta. Only then will your thoughts penetrate deep into the backstage of existence (of course, even the backstage is existence itself, speaking in absolute terms), and only then will you be able to emerge back to this side and produce truly profound, wondrously incandescent literary works, even from the most miserable conditions of your living. It is then you will have divinised your cursed material existence of an apparent detachment from its Supreme Source, the Purushottama.
