Rabindranath Tagore Quotes RABINDRANATH TAGORE QUOTES


Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Bengali author, composer and painter

The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realisation of yoga, of union; not on the side of the canvas where it is blank, but on the side where the picture is being painted.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Sadhana: The Realization of Life

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Stray Birds

Come oh come ye tea-thirsty restless ones -- the kettle boils, bubbles and sings, musically.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Collected Poems and Plays of Rabindranath Tagore

When I bring to you coloured toys, my child, I understand why there is such a play of colours on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Gitanjali

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Collected Poems and Plays

We have decided that this false bewitched India is the truth. That is why a mass of twenty-five millions are madly running day and night after false prestige, false work, in a state of complete confusion--shall we ever come out of this spell, this pursuit of mirage!

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Gora

That side of our existence whose direction is towards the infinite seeks not wealth, but freedom and joy.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Sadhana

What India has been, the whole world is now. The whole world is becoming one country ... all national histories are merely chapters in the larger one.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, "Nationalism in the West"

As for us Indians we have our own problem before us. It is the problem of the world in miniature. India is too vast in its area and too diverse in its races. It is many countries packed in one geographical receptacle. It is just the opposite of what Europe truly is, namely one country made into many.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, The Message of India to Japan: A Lecture

God respects me when I work, but he loves me when I sing.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, attributed, Splendors of the Pearl
