Title: Sweeper to saint
First published: 1980
Description: Sweeper to Saint depicts the lives of rural Indians who evolve spiritually, in different ways. Thus it depicts farmers and wanderers and merchants, woman and men of every description, as they struggle through life at different levels of consciousness. Some become saints, through meditation and loving-kindness in their hearts, while others sin and must learn the hard way about the laws of karma. It is a spiritual portrait of a society, through well-crafted vignettes, expressing timeless themes of non-violence, self-reflection, kindness towards others and the search for truth in a world of suffering.
