Indian painting, sculpture and architecture did

not refuse service to the aesthetic satisfaction and

interpretation of the social, civic and individual

life of the human being; these things, as all

evidences show, played a great part in their

motives of creation, but still their highest work

was reserved for the greatest spiritual side of the

culture, and throughout we see them seized and

suffused with the brooding stress of the Indian

mind on the soul, the Godhead, the spiritual, the

Infinite. (CWSA, 20: 227-228)
