About The National Value of Art

In the course of this essay, first published serially in the weekly review Karmayogin in 1909–1910, Sri Aurobindo says that "between them music, art and poetry are a perfect education for the soul; they make and keep its movements purified, self-controlled, deep and harmonious." He then examines the aesthetic, intellectual or educative, and spiritual uses of art, and affirms the role of art in the evolution of a people and its value in the education and life of a nation.
