More quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
Rabindranath Tagore
We do not stray out of all words into the ever silent We do not raise our hands to the void for things beyond hope.
Rabindranath Tagore
God is neither manifest nor hidden He is neither revealed nor unrevealed there are no words to tell that which He is. He is without form, without quality, without decay.
Rabindranath Tagore
The water in a vessel is sparkling the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear the great truth has great silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
Inspiration follows aspiration.
Rabindranath Tagore
He alone may chastise who loves.
Rabindranath Tagore
From the grasses in the field to the stars in the sky, each one is doing just that and there is such profound peace and surpassing beauty in nature because none of these tries forcibly to transgress its limitations.
Rabindranath Tagore
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man's freedom is never in being saved from troubles, but it is the freedom to take trouble for his own good, to make the trouble an element in his joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
For man is by nature an artist.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you Those who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart
Rabindranath Tagore
Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down
Rabindranath Tagore
when you came you cried and everybody smiled with joy when you go smile and let the world cry for you.
Rabindranath Tagore
O Woman, you are not merely the handiwork of God, but also of men these are ever endowing you with beauty from their own hearts ... You are one-half woman and one-half dream.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
God, the Great Giver, can open the whole universe to our gaze in the narrow space of a single land.
Rabindranath Tagore
Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
The meaning of this is, that whomsoever we love, in him we find our own soul in the highest sense. The final truth of our existence lies in this. God, the Supreme Soul, is in me, as well as in my son, and my joy in my son is the realisation of this truth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
Rabindranath Tagore
