The Silent
Earth Mukamati An incomparable literary creative work, The Silent Earth
(Mukamati) presents essentially the religious philosophy and spiritualism in a
graceful poetic style, endowing a new dimension to poetic creativity. It is the
splendour of the poetic genius of the saint-poet Acharya Vidyasagarji, that he
has adopted the submissive, trampled and troubled thing like 'Soil' (Mati) as
the subject matter of his Epic poem 'Mokmati'. He has bestowed a voice to its
silent painfulness and its eagerness to achieve emancipations. Having
recognized the eternal and magnificent existence of the 'Soil', the
Potter-artisan (Kumbhakara), after crushing and sifting it and removing all the
impurities makes it worthy of creating his crafts. The potter provides shape to
the lump of 'Soil' in his wheel and burns the craft in a furnace in such a way
so as to make it a 'Sacred Pitcher' worthy of worship and adoration. This Epic
poem is a grand metaphor of the journey of 'liberation of soul' from the karmic
bondage while advancing towards the stage of perfect purification. The graceful
figures of speech, the art of story-telling, the dramatic effects of the living
and soul-searching conversations by the 'characters', which are supposed to be
lifeless, the establishment of the desired spiritual sense by piercing through
the layers of word-usage are all instilled within the folds of this magnificent
creative work. This English translation 'The Silent Earth' of the Epic poem
'Mukamati' is thus presented to our esteemed readers.
