The heart wants to go on that is its dharma. For unless it moves, it dies.
Rabindranath Tagore

When we rejoice in our fullness, then we can part with our fruits with joy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
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

Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy yet I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.

In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.
