Image
In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.
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
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 false can never grow into truth by growing in power.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
... let us unite, not in spite of our differences, but through them. For differences can never be wiped away, and life would be so much the poorer without them. Let all human races keep their own personalities, and yet come together, not in a uniformity that is dead, but in a unity that is living.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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
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
We manage to swallow flesh, only because we do not think of the cruel and sinful thing we do.
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
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
Pessimism is a form of mental dipsomania it disdains healthy nourishment, indulges in the strong drink of denunciation, and creates an artificial dejection which thirsts for a stronger draught.
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
Let not the hours pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The meaning of the living words that come out of the experiences of great hearts can never be exhausted by any one system of logical interpretation. They have to be endlessly explained by the commentaries of individual lives, and they gain an added mystery in each new revelation.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
And joy is everywhere it is in the earth's green covering of grass in the blue serenity of the sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Great calm, generous detachment, selfless love, disinterested effort: these are what make for success in life. If you can find peace in yourself and can spread comfort around you, you will be happier than an empress.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
According to the true Indian view, our consciousness of the world, merely as the sum total of things that exist, and as governed by laws, is imperfect. But it is perfect when our consciousness realizes all things as spiritually one with it, and there
