CONGLOMERATION OF THE MYSTICAL MINDS OF THE EAST AND THE WEST COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WILLIAM BLAKE’S THE TYGER AND THE LAMBWITH SRI AUROBINO’S THE TIGER AND THE DEER

Abstract

The paper attempts a comparative study of the poems of Blake and Sri Aurobindo, the representatives of Western and Eastern mysticism respectively. The astonishing fact is that one can locate the answer for the queries raised by Blake in Sri Aurobindo’s poems. Their poems act as beacons to the souls longing for spiritual realization. Life is a journey towards eternity; their poems provide us firm anchors of spirituality to cross the abysmal recurrence of birth and death. No doubt they are like the three Magis guided through the light of the stars to the abode of the heavenly babe. Thus these two great visionary stars in the galaxy of literature showed ways and means to get into the purpose of living.
