Abstract:
As one grain of rice is enough to test if the whole pot of rice is boiled ,a few lines of poetry of the great luminouries [i e]Sri Aurobindo of the East and Sir William Blake of the West testify that great minds think alike. Both Aurobindo and Blake had a strong spiritual intention of discovering the infinite in all things.Though both had one vision their directin and method was a bit different. Blake’s philosophy differed from primitive animism but resembled that of Aurobindo in his subtelity of apprehension ,in spiritual discipline and above all in its recognition of unity in all things .He was a mystic who had a perception of some great absolute truth and he acted upon this realisation.His mystic expression longed for a complete harmony with the transcendental Order.
