Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Essentially man is not a slave either of himself or of the world; but he is a lover. His freedom and fulfilment is in love, which is another name for perfect comprehension.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Man’s history is being shaped according to the difficulties it encounters.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Children are living beings – more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “It is in the very heart of our activity that we search for our goal.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Sin is the blurring of truth which clouds the purity of our consciousness. In sin we lust after pleasures, not because they are truly desirable, but because the red light of our passions makes them appear desirable; we long for things not because they are great in themselves, but because our greed exaggerates them and makes them appear great.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Whenever our life is stirred by truth, it expresses energy and comes to be filled, as it were, with a creative ardor. This consciousness of the creative urge is evidence of the force of truth on our mind.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Thy desire at once puts out the light from the lamp it touches with its breath. It is unholy – take not thy gifts through its unclean hands. Accept only what is offered by sacred love.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “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 Quote: “YOUR speech is simple, my Master, but not theirs who talk of you.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Mother, the tutor has come, and I have such a bad headache; couldn’t I have no lessons to-day?” I hope no child of immature age will be allowed to read this story, and I sincerely trust it will not be used in text-books or primers for junior classes. For what I did was dreadfully bad, and I received no punishment whatever. On the contrary, my wickedness was crowned with success.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The hours trip rapidly away, hiding their dreams in their skirts.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “When material is in profusion, the mind gets lazy and leaves everything to it, forgetting that for a successful feast of joy its internal equipment counts for more than the external. This is the chief lesson which his infant state has to teach to man. There his possessions are few and trivial, yet he needs no more for his happiness. The world of play is spoilt for the unfortunate youngster who is burdened with an unlimited quantity of playthings.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “If it is necessary to die in order to live like men, what harm in dying?”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The deepest source of all calamities in history is misunderstanding. For where we do not understand, we can never be just. Being.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “I really did think at one time that I was on the verge of becoming a poet, but Providence was kind enough to save me from that disaster.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Only the weak dare not be just.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “We never cared for such useless things as knowledge. We only cared for truth. And our unsophisticated little hearts knew well where the Crystal Palace of Truth lay and how to reach it. But to-day we are expected to write pages of facts, while the truth is simply this: “There was a king.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The fact is that man is as much a mystery to woman as woman is to man. If that were not so, the separation of the sexes would only have been a waste of Nature’s energy.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate to be shut; but I find that yet there is time.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Women lose their delicacy and refinement, when they are compelled night and day to haggle with their destiny over things pitifully small, and for this they are blamed by those whom their toil supports.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The man, whose acquaintance with the world does not lead him deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena. The water does not merely cleanse his limbs, but it purifies his heart; for it touches his soul. The earth does not merely hold his body, but it gladdens his mind; for its contact is more than a physical contact – it is a living presence.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Why did the lamp go out? I shaded it with my cloak to save it from the wind, that is why the lamp went out. Why did the flower fade? I pressed it to my heart with anxious love, that is why the flower faded. Why did the stream dry up? I put a dam across it to have it for my use, that is why the stream dried up. Why did the harp-string break? I tried to force a note that was beyond its power, that is why the harp-string is broken.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “As in intellectual error, so in evil of any other form, its essence is impermanence, for it cannot accord with the whole. Every moment it is being corrected by the totality of things and keeps changing its aspect.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Therefore the whole apparatus of piety, Hindu and Moslem alike – the temple and mosque, idol and holy water, scriptures and priests – were denounced by this inconveniently clear-sighted poet as mere substitutes for reality; dead things intervening between the soul and its love –.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Our music draws the listener away, beyond the limits of everyday human joys and sorrows, and takes us to that lonely region of renunciation which lies to the root of the universe, while European music leads us to a variegated dance through the endless rise and fall of human grief and joy.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked – this sky and the light, this body and the life and the mind – saving me from perils of overmuch desire.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart. And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it is thy power gives me strength to act.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “King, they work, because they must. We work, because we are in love with life. That is why they condemn us as unpractical, and we condemn them as lifeless.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind. I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart. And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it is thy power gives me strength to act.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Raicharan was twelve years old when he came as a servant to his master’s house. He belonged to the same caste as his master and was given his master’s little son to nurse. As time went on the boy left Raicharan’s arms to go to school. From school he went on to college, and after college he entered the judicial service. Always, until he married, Raicharan was his sole attendant.”

Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “These were autumn mornings, the very time of year when kings of old went forth to conquest; and I, never stirring from my little corner in Calcutta, would let my mind wander over the whole world.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Amongst men of the Cabuliwallah’s class, however, it is well known that the words father-in-law’s house have a double meaning. It is a euphemism for jail, the place where we are well cared for, at no expense to ourselves. In this sense would the sturdy pedlar take my daughter’s question. ‘Oh,’ he would say, shaking his fist at an invisible policeman, ‘I will thrash my father-in-law!”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action – Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. This.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Free me as free is the forest fire, as is the thunder that laughs aloud and hurls defiance to darkness.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who is this that follows me in the silent dark? I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not. He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keep one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “When a man does not realise his kinship with the world, he lives in a prison-house whose walls are alien to him.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “One clings desperately to some vain hope, till a day comes when it has sucked the heart dry and then it breaks through its bonds and departs. After that comes the misery of awakening, and then once again the longing to get back into the maze of the same mistakes.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Alas, for our foolish human nature! Its fond mistakes are persistent. The dictates of reason take a long time to assert their sway.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “In this world’s endless time and boundless space One may be born at last to match my sovereign grace.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “Want of love is a degree of callousness; for love is the perfection of consciousness. We do not love because we do not comprehend, or rather we do not comprehend because we do not love. For love is the ultimate meaning of everything around us. It is not a mere sentiment; it is truth; it is the joy that is at the root of all creation.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “If the cow alone is to be held sacred from slaughter, and not the buffalo, then that is bigotry, not religion.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The child, who is decked with prince’s robes and who has jewelled chains round his neck loses all pleasure in his play; his dress hampers him at every step. In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust he keeps himself from the world, and is afraid even to move. Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keep one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The increased facilities of communication and exchange of thought, the teachings of history, the unity of government, the rise of literature and the efforts of the Congress over a period of time have together begun to make us realize that we belong to one country and are one people; that whether in joy or in sorrow our destiny is one; and that we cannot prosper unless we discover the ties which make us one, and seek to strengthen them.”
Rabindranath Tagore Quote: “The traveller 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. My eyes strayed far and wide before I shut them and said, “Here art thou!” The question and the cry, “Oh, where?” melt into tears of a thousand streams and deluge the world with the flood of the assurance, “I am!” XIII.”
