Spiritual Concern in the Works of Manoj Das

Abstract

My aim through this article is to discuss the issue of spirituality in Manoj Das’s works which can be seen in many forms and ideas in his exquisite narration. He narrates an Indian experience in language which is alien or not Indian at the same time. He does not loose original Indian charm and ethos. In his works he shows his deep concern with spirituality. In his works spirituality is not a figment of imagination or a religious dogma or any firm ideology but it is a domain of realization where we realize (experience) values like truth, goodness, beauty, love, compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention in all walks of life. When he begins his concern with spirituality, he talks about “Soul’”. For him soul- a point of non-material energy, eternal in form and identity. The soul is not subject to change as is the body.
