Famous Rabindranath Tagore Quotes

“আত্মা অন্য আত্মার সংঘর্ষে তবেই আপনাকে সম্পুর্ণরূপে অনুভব করিতে পারে, তবেই সে মিলনের আধ্যাত্নিকতা পরিপূর্ণ মাত্রায় মন্থিত হইয়া উঠে । একাকার হইয়া থাকা কিছু না থাকার ঠিক পরেই । কোনো একজন ইংরাজ কবি লিখিয়াছেন, ঈশ্বর, আপনারই পিতৃ-অংশ এবং মাতৃ-অংশকে স্ত্রী-পুরুষরূপে পৃথিবীতে ভাগ করিয়া দিয়েছেন; সেই দুই বিচ্ছিন্ন অংশ এক হইবার জন্য পরস্পরের প্রতি এমন অনিবার্য আনন্দে আকৃষ্ট হইতেছে; কিন্তু এই বিচ্ছেদটি না হইলে পরস্পরের মধ্যে এমন প্রগাঢ় পরিচয় হইত না । প্রবন্ধঃ সৌন্দর্যের সম্বন্ধ”

“Joy is there everywhere; it is superfluous, unnecessary; nay, it very often contradicts the most peremptory behests of necessity. It exists to show that the bonds of law can only be explained by love; they are like body and soul. Joy is the realisation of the truth of oneness, the oneness of our soul with the world and of the world-soul with the supreme lover.”

“Our self (Soul) is maya (an illusion) where it is merely individual and finite, where it considers its separateness as absolute; it is satyam (truth) where it recognizes its essence in the universal and infinite, in the Supreme Self, in paramatman (God). This is what Christ means when he says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (i.e. before Abraham was God, who is the same that is in my soul - I am That.)”

“We try to realize the essential unity of the world with the conscious soul of man; we learn to perceive the unity held together by the one Eternal Spirit, whose power creates the earth, the sky, and the stars, and at the same time irradiates our mind.”

“We cannot look upon our lives as dreams of a dreamer who has no awakening in all time. We have a personality to which matter and force are unmeaning unless related to something infinitely personal, whose nature we have discovered, in some measure, in human love, in the greatness of the good, in the martyrdom of heroic souls, in the ineffable beauty of nature, which can never be a mere physical fact nor anything but an expression of personality.”

“The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.”
