Poems On Time The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Time is a wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes it mere change and no wealth. Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

You have given me Your love, filling the world with Your gifts.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Perhaps the crescent moon smiles in doubt at being told that it is a fragment awaiting perfection.
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.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
I never give answers. I lead on from one question to another. That is my leadership.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Truth looks tawdry when she is overdressed.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The tyrant claims freedom to kill freedom, and yet keep it for himself.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
If you shut your door to all errors truth will be shut out.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Whatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin... Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of man are mine.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The potentiality of perfection outweighs actual contradictions... Existence in itself is here to prove that it cannot be an evil.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
True deliverance of man is the deliverance from Avidya i.e. ignorance. It is not in destroying anything that is positive and real, for that cannot be possible, but that which is negative, which obstructs our vision of truth.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
Image
Only in silence I find myself. Life in the city is so hectic that you lose the right perspective. It's important to know that our biggest resources are in our heart.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Religion, like poetry, is not a mere idea, it is expression. The self-expression of God is in the endless variety of creation and our attitude toward the Infinite Being must also in its expression have a variety of individuality ceaseless and unendi.
Rabindranath Tagore

To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
