Question: How can we recognise a soulful work of art?
Sri Chinmoy: If a work of art makes you feel that there is a most beautiful child inside it, you can know that it is a soulful work of art. If you see inside it a most beautiful child, and if you feel that this child is talking to you and you are talking to him, then you can know that it is soulful art.
From:Sri Chinmoy,Art's life and the soul's light, Agni Press, 1974
