Bedeutung
Joy derived from material things in life.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Bauls are mystic minstrels from Bengal who reject material possessions. They often sing about how 'পার্থিব সুখ' is a trap that prevents one from finding the 'Manush' (the inner divine being). Tagore often explored the tension between the material world and the spiritual. He didn't reject 'পার্থিব সুখ' entirely but believed it should lead to a higher 'অপার্থিব' truth. In many Bengali households, there is a traditional emphasis on 'Sada-mota jibon' (simple living). Excessive pursuit of 'পার্থিব সুখ' is sometimes looked down upon as 'showy' or 'vulgar'. Both Hindu and Muslim traditions in Bengal share a common vocabulary regarding the 'Dunya' or 'Samsara'. The phrase 'পার্থিব সুখ' is used by both communities in religious discourses.
