Poetry and Sadhana [1]
Can one gain as much profit (I mean spiritually) from writing poems, etc. as from devoting one’s time to sadhana – meditation, etc. In other words, can literary activity be taken as part of one’s sadhana?
Any activity can be taken as part of the sadhana if it is offered to the Divine or done with the consciousness or faith that it is done by the Divine Power. That is the important point.
