Sadhana

"Man can destroy and plunder, earn and accumulate, invent and discover, but he is great because his soul comprehends all."-Rabindranath Tagore.

Sadhana is a Sanskrit term referring to a spiritual discipline or daily practice through which the individual seeks a living connection with the divine. In this work, Rabindranath Tagore explores the meaning of that spiritual path and the vision of life expressed in the ancient wisdom of India.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), the Bengali poet, philosopher, and Nobel Prize laureate in Literature for Gitanjali, devoted much of his thought to awakening a deeper awareness of the unity between the human soul and the universe. His reflections invite the reader to rediscover the inner life and the harmony that links all beings.

Written with simplicity and quiet depth, this work remains one of the most accessible introductions to the spiritual philosophy of India. More than a century after its first publication, it continues to speak directly to modern readers.

This large print edition is presented in a clear and comfortable layout designed for easy reading.

EXCERPT:"Everything has sprung from immortal life and is vibrating with life, for life is immense.

This is the noble heritage from our forefathers waiting to be claimed by us as our own, this ideal of the supreme freedom of consciousness. It is not merely intellectual or emotional, it has an ethical basis, and it must be translated into action. In the Upanishad it is said, The supreme being is all-pervading, therefore he is the innate good in all. To be truly united in knowledge, love, and service with all beings, and thus to realise one's self in the all-pervading God is the essence of goodness, and this is the keynote of the teachings of the Upanishads: Life is immense!"
