The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words which are clear; the great truth has great silence.
Rabindranath Tagore -
In the drowsy dark cave of the mind dreams build their nest with fragments dropped from day's caravan.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
The world is ever new to me; like an old friend loved through this and former lives, the acquaintance between us is both long and deep.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The cure for all the illness of life is stored in the inner depth of life itself, the access to which becomes possible when we are alone. This solitude is a world in itself, full of wonders and resources unthought of. It is absurdly near; yet so unapproachably distant.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end.
Rabindranath Tagore -
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 -
According to the Upanishads, the complete aspect of Truth is in the reconciliation on the finite and the infinite, of everchanging things and the eternal spirit of perfection. When in our life and work the harmony between these two is broken, then either our life is thinned into a shadow, or it becomes gross with accumulations.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Ah me, why did they build my house by the road to the market town?
Rabindranath Tagore
-
I touch God in my song as the hill touched the far-away sea with its waterfall.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Your legacy. Hard work but honest. You don't have to outsmart anybody or depend on anyone when you own one plot of land. 'Cause it's always there.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.
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 -
We do not stray out of all words into the ever silent; We do not raise our hands to the void for things beyond hope.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing, But Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Every person is worthy of an infinite wealth of love - the beauty of his soul knows no limit.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Melody and harmony are like lines and colors in pictures. A simple linear picture may be completely beautiful; the introduction of color may make it vague and insignificant. Yet color may, by combination with lines, create great pictures, so long as it does not smother and destroy their value.
Rabindranath Tagore -
He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.
Rabindranath Tagore -
In the heart of Europe runs the purest stream of human love, of justice, of spirit of self-sacrifice for higher ideals. The Christian culture of centuries has sunk deep in her life's core. In Europe we have seen noble minds who have ever stood up for the rights of man irrespective of colour and creed.
Rabindranath Tagore
-
I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things. My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance. O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute! I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.
Rabindranath Tagore -
To the guests that must go, bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.
Rabindranath Tagore -
Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
Rabindranath Tagore -
The wise man warns me that life is but a dewdrop on the lotus leaf.
Rabindranath Tagore
