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?Sri Aurobindo

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.
