More quotes by 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
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
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
O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet. Only let me make my life simple and straight, like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.
Rabindranath Tagore
Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.
Rabindranath Tagore
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.
Rabindranath Tagore
The greatest distance in this World is not that between living and death, it is when I am just before you, and you don't know that I Love You.
Rabindranath Tagore
Alas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?
Rabindranath Tagore
We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
Rabindranath Tagore
We live in the world when we love it.
Rabindranath Tagore
I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight.
Rabindranath Tagore
Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.
Rabindranath Tagore
Our scientific world is our world of reasoning. It has its greatness and uses and attractions. We are ready to pay homage due to it. But when it claims to have discovered the real world for us and laughs at the worlds of all simple-minded men, then we must say it is like a general grown intoxicated with his power, usurping the throne of his king
Rabindranath Tagore
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
Rabindranath Tagore
Whatever character our theology may ascribe to him, in reality God is the infinite ideal of Man, towards whom men move in their collective growth, with whom they seek their union of love as individuals, in whom they find their ideal of father, friend and beloved.
Rabindranath Tagore
Those who in this world have the courage to try and solve in their own lives new problems of life, are the ones who raise society to greatness.
Rabindranath Tagore
I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.
Rabindranath Tagore
There is no next after you are dead and gone from your own world.
Rabindranath Tagore
While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.
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
