"The Realisation of Life" by Rabindranath Tagore is a collection of papers that explores the ancient spirit of India as revealed in sacred texts and manifested in contemporary life. Tagore emphasizes that the true meaning of religious scriptures cannot be fully understood through scholarly analysis alone, but rather through the living experiences of great hearts. He believes that these texts lose their significance when treated as mere historical artifacts. Tagore draws inspiration from the Upanishads and the teachings of Buddha, viewing them as sources of boundless growth and individual meaning. The papers in this collection are adapted from Tagore's Bengali discourses given to his students in Bolpur, Bengal.
