Explore "Sadhana" by Rabindranath Tagore on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Upanishads say: "Man becomes true if in this life he can apprehend God; if not, it is the greatest calamity for him."
But what is the nature of this attainment of God? It is quite evident that the infinite is not like one object among many, to be definitely classified and kept among our possessions, to be used as an ally specially favouring us in our politics, warfare, money-making, or in social competitions. We cannot put our God in the same list with our summer-houses, motor-cars, or our credit at the bank, as so many people seem to want to do.
