Times Group’s VC and MD Sameer Jain said, ‘Mala aidele tu shalkat kya shiklas? Then I told that the meaning of Maastarani Mala Dinkar’s poem was sung and I was in front of him. Then he said that I had never had such a thought. If only you had the strength, you Dinkar, Mahashweta Devi, Harivansh Rai Bachchan could not even think, you can give such meaning to your poems.’ He further said, ‘There is a place for duty, it is said in the Gita that one who is satisfied with the soul in the soul, there is no duty for him. There is also a state above it, which is the biggest purpose of life. Yogavashishtha says, birth and death are oral traditions like rising and falling of the sun. Hi ek ol… What is literature, what is spirituality, you decide. We say that it is a mixture of both.
‘The dark side of spirituality cannot be found’
While commenting on the dark side of literature, Sameer Jain said, ‘The dark side of your spirituality will not be found, but the response of the heart and the high sky will be found. He further said, ‘Like Shakespeare’s Macbeth, we studied for three-three years in school-college, in which Lady Macbeth asked her husband, the king, to become the Maroon king. That’s a long speech. At a young age, thoughts come spontaneously and it is very difficult to get rid of those thoughts. Only literature has a dark side and spirituality cannot be found in it.’
Sameer Jain further said, ‘Literary fakt Virahachaya Geetanach awards are received. But in spiritual literature, love that is divided is not found, nor can it be found, to a very lesser extent. Human-human love lasts for a long time. Devache’s love lasts forever. Only the people in the cinema accepted it. ‘Hundred years ago I loved you…’ is a glimpse of spiritual love, where both remain united. Film directors are seen trying to present high things in front of everyone by adding pop music.
