Children who are decked with prince's robes and who have jeweled chains round their necks lose all pleasure in play; their dress hampers them at every step. In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust, they keep themselves from the world and are afraid ever 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 Tagorethat which is eternal within the moment only becomes shallow if spread out in time.
Rabindranath TagoreThe world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
Rabindranath TagoreYes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my desires ripen into fruits of love.
Rabindranath Tagore
