Publisher's summary

"Sadhana, The Realisation of Life" (1913) is a book of meditation by Rabindranath Tagore.

Excerpt from the work: "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 scholar's 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 abatement. 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 to-day."

Great content, rushed performance

Rabindranath Tagore is certainly one of the greatest minds of his time, and this work reflects that. The only complaint is the narrator, who has an irritating voice and a rushed cadence. Thankfully audible let's you slow it down to a more tolerable and understandable speed. x.75 speed or slower seems to be best. The content is deep and spiritual, so a deeper, slower, more deliberate voice would have been ideal.
