The Sanskrit verse "साहित्य संगीत कला विहीन, साक्षात् पशु, पूच्छविश्नहीन" suggests that a person who lacks interest in literature, music, and art is akin to an animal without a tail and horns. This essay focuses on literature and its crucial role in human life. Literature is portrayed as essential for understanding human nature, love, and humanism, acting as a guiding force that elevates individuals from a primal state to a more enlightened existence. It sharpens intellect and inspires individuals to explore the universe and their place within it. The essay also draws a parallel between adults indifferent to literature and a child from Rabindranath Tagore’s poem "Authorship," who struggles to comprehend the value of literary works. The child complains about its father's writing, asserting that it is incomprehensible, while praising its mother for her storytelling abilities. The child perceives writing as a trivial activity, akin to simple alphabet practice, illustrating a lack of appreciation for literature. Overall, the essay emphasizes the transformative power of literature and the risks of remaining indifferent to it.
