If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart, thy love for me still waits for my love.
Rabindranath TagorePessimism is a form of mental dipsomania; it disdains healthy nourishment, indulges in the strong drink of denunciation, and creates an artificial dejection which thirsts for a stronger draught.
Rabindranath TagoreIn the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.
Rabindranath TagoreWhere is heaven? you ask me, my child,-the sages tell us it is beyond the limits of birth and death, unswayed by the rhythm of day and night; it is not of the earth. But your poet knows that its eternal hunger is for time and space, and it strives evermore to be born in the fruitful dust. Heaven is fulfilled in your sweet body, my child, in your palpitating heart. The sea is beating its drums in joy, the flowers are a-tiptoe to kiss you. For heaven is born in you, in the arms of the mother- dust.
Rabindranath Tagore
