Sadhana, the Realisation of Life
by Rabindranath Tagore

all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please contact librivox.org recorded by peter yearsley sadhana the realization of life by rabindranath tagore author of gitanjali 1916 dedicated to ernest reese author's preface perhaps it is well for me to explain that the subject matter of the papers published in this book has not been philosophically treated nor has it been approached from the scholars point of view the writer has been brought up in a family where texts of the upanishads are used in daily worship and he has had before him the example of his father who lived his long life in the closest communion with god while not neglecting his duties to the world or allowing his keen interest in all human affairs to suffer any abandonment so in these papers it may be hoped western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of india as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of today all the great utterances of man have to be judged not by the letter but by the spirit the spirit which unfolds itself with the growth of life in history we get to know the real meaning of christianity by observing its living aspect at the present moment however different that may be even in important aspects from the christianity of earlier periods for western scholars the great religious scriptures of india seem to possess merely a retrospective and archaeological interest but to us they are of living importance and we cannot help thinking that they lose their significance when exhibited in labeled cases mummied specimens of human thought and aspiration preserved for all times in the wrappings of erudition the meaning of the living words that come out of the experience of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation they have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation to me the verses of the upanishads and the teachings of buddha have ever been things of the spirit and therefore endowed with boundless vital growth and i have used them both in my own life and in my preaching as being instinct with individual meaning for me as for others and are waiting for their confirmation my own special testimony which must have its value because of its individuality i should add perhaps that these papers embody in a connected form suited to this publication ideas which have been culled from several of the bengali discourses which i am in the habit of giving to my students in my school at bollpoor in bengal and i have used here and there translations of passages from these done by my friends babu seti chandra roy and babu ajit kumar the last paper of this series realization in action has been translated from my bengali discourse on karma yoga by my nephew babu surendranath tagore i take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to professor james h woods of harvard university for his generous appreciation which encouraged me to complete this series of papers and read most of them before the harvard university and i offer my thanks to mr ernest reese for his kindness in helping me with suggestions and revisions and in going through the proofs a word may be added about the pronouncing of sadhana the accent falls decisively on the first a which has the broad sound of the letter contents 1 the relation of the individual to the universe 2 soul consciousness three the problem of evil for the problem of self five realization in love six realization in action seven the realization of beauty eight the realization of the infinite

The end of a busy day and some chat on musical theatre. Maybe I like it after all.

well darlings i'm rather later than anticipated because this is not midnight oh in bed with sonia at midnight this is in bed with sonia at 1 49 which is far too late i really shouldn't be up at all today was taken over by music music music and more music i've been getting out lots of music for the kids shows and there were some other things going on i was teaching actually i do still teach once on a thursday once a week but that's about it for my teaching at the moment and the day was just eaten up and you have days like that don't you where you just turn around and you think gosh what happened where did today go i mean it seemed so long ago this morning when i got out i didn't know it was about seven o'clock or something and i was full of the joys of spring and i i noticed now that i'm quite sprightly in the mornings and quite the opposite by the time the uh you know the clocks turn and it's a new day one feels quite exhausted but i'm a bit hyper so i thought well you know what i need i need some um hypnotic music so i thought well let me go and see what i've got and because you know i have to play my music because of uh copyright issues so you're always going to get my music on here or you're going to get music in the public domain actually talking of which i was just watching there um a documentary about what was still on actually rogers and hammerstein and i thought oh some of these songs i recognized them you know from oklahoma and what have you and america in empires kiss me kate all of these i recognize these um wonderful wonderful musicals and the songs but i've never been to a musical i'm you know the uh musical theater is just not my back but i was listening to oklahoma and i was thinking i was a marvelous song absolutely marvelous and i i rather fancy that i may be coming around to a bit of musical theater finally in this late stage of life i mean it's all very um what's the worst sort of gallant isn't it galant it's kind of um a little bit swashbuckling and there's a lot of pounding fists and um so it's quite dare i say sexy is it sexy i mean i never thought that before i'd always thought gosh musical theater is really enough but i think i was watching some of these things and i was thinking well do you know what that's that's doing it for me now and i guess when you you know it's a century ago isn't it all these things well unfortunately the i googled hammerstein immediately because i thought i want to make a remake of oklahoma that particular song not the whole musical i wouldn't i'm not that good i'm getting there though darling i'm getting there so i i googled it to see about public domain and it's not in a public domain although oh my alexa went on how did you hear that my alexa thought i was talking to it how very funny is that i think i'm going to ignore it um anyway where was i so i googled and no apparently there was an original i think it was oklahoma i was unless i'm getting confused written because it's a a song is taken from another song which was in 1906 but the version that we know and love is um not copy it's still under copyright because it was 1927 i think that the musical was released in and of course um they changed the law they added another 20 years on so we we don't get we can't have these now and it's just so annoying and i just think you know it's so unfair somebody who lived 100 years ago the richness of you know culture to be controlled by some you know corporate um body somewhere and not belong to the people i mean that's that's not right don't you agree that's really not right we're talking about you know human beings the legacy of ancestors and and how after five generations can a business own something that was so meaningful and so meaningfully created and created for people you know i mean obviously dead composers have no control but i mean i'd absolutely oh actually i'm saying that but...

chapter 1 of the man with the black cord this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the man with the black cord by augusta groener translated by grace isabelle colebron leopold erloch disappears the little hamlet of insert dwarf near vienna enjoyed the melancholy distinction of being one of the very few spots in the vicinity of the austrian capital which did not lay claim to natural beauty the dusty straggling little village existed mainly for the sake of the great brickworks which were its chief industry there were a few people in insertdorf living there from choice almost everybody had something to do with the brickworks or with the official administration of the village but here and there on the dreary expanse of open fields and moors lay the oasis of a private garden or small park surrounding its dwelling house and in its turn hidden from the passers-by on the high roads by tall brick walls among these homes of greater east the urloc mansion was one of the oldest and best known the house itself imposing in structure in spite of its one and a half stories only in height was of the solid build of a former century and had its every door and window guarded by heavy iron bars the slow growth of many years had enrapped the severity of its exterior in a mass of rich toned green half a dozen different clinging plants striving for a place there this rather unusual completeness of nature's encroachment gave the building the popular name of the greenhouse mr leopold urlock the owner of this attractive property was neither popular nor gregarious few visitors passed the heavy gates in the high brick wall that enclosed the pleasant well-kept garden with its wealth of flower beds under spreading trees on a bright september morning warm even for the season although following a night of storm the greenhouse dozed in its customary quiet the gardener moved silently about the grounds at his task of gathering up the leaves and twigs torn down by the night wind within the kitchen mrs teresa tunner mr erloch's cook and housekeeper stood at the table preparing her master's breakfast tray her movements were slow and heavy and the expression of her worn and haggard face which yet gave evidences of refinement beyond her station was more than usually distraught and uneasy she caught herself two or three times in little forgetfulnesses of the daily routine even in such a simple matter as preparing the breakfast and it took a visible effort for her to pull herself together she was well aware of the fact that any carelessness coming to mr erloch's notice might cost her her place for this elderly bachelor was a very particular and exacting employer and there were many changes in his household force the few people who had occasion to observe it were rather surprised that a woman of so sensitive in nature as mrs tunner could have endured his eccentricities for nearly two years when the tray was finally ready and carried into the dining room mrs tunner was relieved to find that mr erloch was not already seated there as was his usual custom it gave her time to cast a last glance around and to see whether everything was in order then she returned to her own room which lay between the kitchen and the dining room and through which she had to pass when going to and fro between these rooms she left the door into the dining room open that she might hear mr urlock when he came out from his own bed chamber mrs tunner sank down into a chair and her eyes full of dreary despair glanced abstractedly about the neat little apartment suddenly she started a quick flush mounted to her faded cheeks and she sprang from her seat she had caught sight of a bright colored piece of silk a man's neck muffler which lay...

Beyond Good and Evil
by Friedrich Nietzsche (transl. Helen Zimmern)

this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org beyond good and evil by frederick nietzsche chapter one prejudices of philosophers read by hugh mcguire one the will to truth which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise the famous truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect what questions has this will to truth not laid before us what strange perplexing questionable questions it is already a long story yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful lose patience and turn impatiently away that the sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves who is it really that puts questions to us here what really is this will to truth in us in fact we made a long halt at the questions as to the origin of this will until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question we inquired about the value of this will granted that we want the truth why not rather untruth and uncertainty even ignorance

the problem of the value of truth presented itself before us or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem

which of us is the oedipus here which the sphinx

it would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation and could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had never been propounded before as if we were the first to discern it get a sight of it and risk raising it for there is risk in raising it perhaps there is no greater risk two how could anything originate out of its opposite for example truth out of error or the will to truth out of the will of deception or the generous deed out of selfishness or the pure sunbright vision of the wise man out of covetousness such genesis is impossible whoever dreams of it is a fool may worse than a fool things of the highest value must have a different origin an origin of their own in this transitory seductive illusory paltry world in this turmoil of delusion and cupidity they cannot have their source but rather in the lap of being in the intransitory in the concealed god in the thing in itself there must be their source and nowhere else this mode of reasoning discloses the typical prejudice by which metaphysicians of all times can be recognized this mode of valuation is at the back of all their logical procedure through this belief of theirs they exert themselves for their knowledge for something that is in the end solemnly christened the truth the fundamental belief of metaphysicians is the belief in antithesis of values it never occurred even to the wariest of them to doubt here on the very threshold where doubt however was most necessary though they had made a solemn vow the omnibus

for it may be doubted firstly whether antithesis exists at all and secondly whether the popular valuations and antithesis of value upon which metaphysicians have set their seal are not perhaps merely superficial estimates merely provisional perspectives besides being probably made from some corner perhaps from below frog perspectives as it were to borrow an expression current among painters in spite of all the value which may belong to the true the positive and the unselfish it might be possible that higher and more fundamental value for life generally should be assigned to pretense to the will to delusion to selfishness and cupidity it might even be possible that what constitutes the value of those good and respected things consist precisely in their being insidiously related knotted and crotcheted to these evil and apparently opposed things perhaps even in being essentially identical with them perhaps but who wishes to concern himself with such dangerous perhapses for that investigation one must await the advent of a new order of philosophers...
