Rabindranath delivered a wonderful lecture on the philosophical thought of Salvation. The centre point of his thought was Salvation." He said;
" As in the world of beauty, so also, in the world of God,  our soul likes to leave in pure joy leaving the chain of bondage of this perishable body.That pleasure is the main cause of creation. Due to the thirst of hunting of infinite beauty and  being tired  by constant journey, the soul was wandering with tears for salvation. The desire of this salvation based on philosophical idea is mingled with our life and with passion of our  heart. This soul has started for salvation spreading the wings of the epics.'
The lecture was published in Pravasi and Bangabani.under the title " The philosophy of Our People.".
