Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
We try to realize the essential unity of the world with the conscious soul of man we learn to perceive the unity held together by the one Eternal Spirit, whose power creates the earth, the sky, and the stars, and at the same time irradiates our mind.
Rabindranath Tagore

Man is immortal therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea it can only find itself in changing forms
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life's fulfillment finds constant obstacles in its path but those are necessary for the sake of its advance. The stream is saved from the sluggishness of its current by the perpetual opposition of the soil through which it must cut its way. The spirit of fight belongs to the genius of life.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
For the current of our spiritual life creeds, rituals and channels that may thwart or help, according to their fixity or openness. When a symbol or spiritual idea becomes rigidly elaborate in its construction, it supplants the idea which it should support.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
A butterfly flitting from flower to flower ever remains mine, I lose the one that is netted by me.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The infinite being has assumed unto himself the mystery of finitude. And in him who is love the finite and the infinite are made one.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
For every child that is born, it brings with it the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The problem is not how to wipe out all differences, but how to unite with all differences intact.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The flower fades and dies but he who wears the flower has not to mourn for it for ever.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Man is a rough-hewn and woman a finished product.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
This I know... That often when I sang, and drummed, and danced, I found my eternity.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The smile that flickers on a baby’s lips when he sleeps- does anyone know where it was born? Yes, there is a rumor that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born in the dream of a dew-washed morning.
