Rabindranath Tagore
The truth comes as conqueror only because we have lost the art of receiving it as guest.
Rabindranath Tagore
Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.
Rabindranath Tagore
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
Rabindranath Tagore
The newer people of this modern age are more eager to amass than to realize.
