Quote

Power said to the world, You are mine. The world kept it prisoner on her throne. Love said to the world, I am thine. The world gave it the freedom of her house.

In death the many become one in life the one become many.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
To find God, you must welcome everything.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
My heart, the bird of the wilderness, has found its sky in your eyes. They are the cradle of the morning, they are the kingdom of the stars. My songs are lost in their depths. Let me but soar in that sky, in its lonely immensity. Let me but cleave its clouds and spread wings in its sunshine.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
that which is eternal within the moment only becomes shallow if spread out in time.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
In the world's audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The water vessel, taken as a vessel only, raises the question, Why does it exist at all? Through its fitness of construction, it offers the apology for its existence. But where it is a work of beauty it has no question to answer it has nothing to do, but to be.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Oh my only friend, my best beloved, the gates are open in my house—do not pass by like a dream.
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
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life is perpetually creative because it contains in itself that surplus which ever overflows the boundaries of the immediate time and space, restlessly pursuing its adventure of expression in the varied forms of self-realization.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The night kissed the fading day With a whisper: I am death, your mother, From me you will get new birth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Whether joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure whatsoever may befall thee, accept it serenely with an unvanquished heart.
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
The human soul is on its journey from the law to love, from discipline to liberation, from the moral plane to the spiritual.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
There is no next after you are dead and gone from your own world.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
You have given me Your love, filling the world with Your gifts.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
A lamp can only light another lamp when it continues to burn in its own flame.
