Adib's Insight

Every philosophy and every religion has its dialectic of growth and decay and it is helpful to understand the circumstances. June 22, 1956
"Hell is others", Tagore might have conceded, but he would have added, "So is Heaven". To him there would be no true love without suffering. Parvati looks all the more lovely after her great penance. Shakuntala's love finds fulfilment only after the ordeal through which she goes... May 8, 1961
Ahimsa is not an abstract ideal but a practical idea whose efficacy can be judged only by the celerity with which it goes into action. Perhaps there are saints who do not think ill of anyone and who have rid their minds of the last trace of violence. April 3, 1964
Ask: Would easier communication be of much avail when people have very little to communicate? July 28, 1984
It is modern poets, playwrights and novelists in contrast to social scientists, who are primarily concerned with existential problems and seek answers to questions which bug the more sensitive today. Sham Lal
