Einstein & Tagore

 
For Tagore, everything relates to the human mind: “the Truth of the Universe is human Truth”. Einstein, on the other hand, believes in “the world as a reality independent of the human factor”. These seem appropriate positions for the poet and musician on the one hand, working always with immediately felt experience, and the scientist on the other, seeking to detach himself from his fallible senses and attain impersonal certainty by the light of cold reason. Interestingly, though, it is Tagore who attempts to support his position by rational argument, while Einstein simply states his position as a matter of faith: “I cannot prove that my conception is right, but that is my religion”. His part in the conversation concludes “Then I am more religious than you are!” Tagore argues that This world is a human world — the scientific view of it is also that of the scientific man. Therefore the world apart from us does not exist.

"Aaguner Pososhmoni ChhoNao Praanay"

Hauz Khas Mahila Samity's anthem song.  (Gablu would know what I'm talking about.)  That song has influenced much of what I've done.  The tagline of LEELA (it's theme, if you will) is a direct lift - 'Nothing touched by fire remains the same'.

I went away from the man for many years till I made GORA.  Came back to a world that I had seen shadows of.  But re-reading the book, the research (if you haven't read the book, it is, at its heart, a dialectic on modernism vs. tradition - with powerful arguments for both sides)  - which perforce made me read up on nationalism, Gandhi, the Bengal Renaissance, Bango-Bhango etc., the actual making of the film (contemporaneous wardrobe, architecture, life style,  thought, society in general), the reception to the series - mostly positive (but the negative made me read more) brought me back to his greatness.

I guess everyone is proud of their own culture (the Marathis have much reason to be proud of their culture and language) but somewhere I found that Bangla - the language, culture and society - is really a deep well of ideas, thoughts.  Expressed through high literature, music and also rustic, everyday, common people's efforts.  And while I'm glad I grew up with a more pan-Indian perspective.  This whole experience of living and working in Kolkata for 4 months made me feel a lacuna.

End Sunday morning aNtelemi.  

But before I go, here is a song I discovered while living in Kolkata couple of years ago.  Nothing to do with Gurudeb.  Please please do listen:

To  me    *Rabeendranath  was    a   great    National  poet    but  not    the '' VISHWA-KAVI"  as    he  was   mostly  painted  by  Indian  nationals   most  often  and  emotionally  .
Yet  to  me ,  he  was  perhaps , the    best  interpreter  of ' VEDANTA-  DARSHAN '   through    'TAGORE  SONGS ' .
 And I  think :  
 that  way, nobody  else  has  or  will  ever be   able  to      EXCEED  him  as  a    better  composer  of  MUSIC    in   BENGALI -  CULTURE  and  so  long  the  Bengali  Language  lasts .
