Abstract
Self-realization has been an age old conceptual paradigm and echoes in almost all
of the major religions mystical traditions and philosophical ideas. In an attempt to
integrate man with the larger reality, the paradigm endorses an uplifting of self
from a personal dimension of life towards an impersonal one. Sadequain has been
one of the few painters who combined the art of painting with a vision to change
man. A closer analysis of his works reveals that his intent has been to induce selfrealization in the viewer. This paper explores into the theme of self-realization as
used by Sadequain. It suggests that Sadequain introduced this theme in three
components. The first component established a critique of morally bankrupt man,
the second, provided a vision to be actualized and third defined the nature of
human strength required for achieving the goal. These components are observable
in his poetry and paintings and together they define the mechanism of selfrealization.
