Fantasy is a tonic for the soul that has vitalized literature and art for ages. While children openly enjoy fantasy, adults also take pleasure in overt or covert fantasy through interests like mythology and belief in miracles. Fantasies humble people about their limitations but also give them hope through supernatural feats, freeing the soul from restrictions and allowing one to live with vitality. For this reason, biographies of saints containing miracles are widely read with love and reverence, as are other forms of fantasy, and people of various religions and cultures practice remembrance through chanting advocated by spiritual leaders.
2. Fantasy is possibly the greatest
tonic of soul!
From time immemorial literature
and art has been vitalized by
fantasy.
It may appear that only children
love fantasy. But though it is true
that children like overt fantasy; it
is also true that even most of the
adults love either overt or covert
fantasy!
3. They may not even realize it. But
they do love fantasy and it is
manifested in their love for
mythology and their strong beliefs
and should I say craze; for
miracles!
Fantasies are tonic to soul in more
than one way!
Fantasies make you humble about
your frail mundane capacities and
simultaneously imbibe you with
hope; through supernatural feats!
4. The soul of an individual is indeed
trapped in the restrictive
limitations of the so called rational
(subjective) possibilities. The soul
gets freed and breathes free by
virtue of fantasies and the
individual begins to live full of
vitality! This is why; world over
the biographies of saints full of
miracles are also read with utmost
love and reverence, besides
regular fantasies!
This is also why, billions of
people belonging to different
5. religions and different cultures
practice NAMASMARAN in form
or another; advocated by most of
the saints and prophets. This is
also why those shackled in
subjective framework of so called
rationality and imprisoned in their
restrictive intellectual jails; do not
enjoy the freedom to practice
NAMASMARAN!
