" "

Knowledge is partial, because our intellect is an instrument, it is only a part of us, it can give us information about things which can be divided and analysed, and whose properties can be classified part by part. But Brahma is perfect, and knowledge which is partial can never be a knowledge of him.

Additional quotes by Rabindranath Tagore

I know that the day will come when my sight of this earth shall be lost, and life will take its leave in silence, drawing the last curtain over my eyes.

Yet stars will watch at night, and morning rise as before, and hours heave like sea waves casting up pleasures and pains.

When I think of this end of my moments, the barrier of the moments breaks and I see by the light of death thy world with its careless treasures. Rare is its lowliest seat, rare is its meanest of lives.

Things that I longed for in vain and things that I got — -let them pass. Let me but truly possess the things that I ever spurned and overlooked.

تقبَّلني هذه المرَّة يارب .. تقبَّلني ..
لا تبتعد عنِّي .. هاك قلبي .. و لتظلّ معي ..
لا أُريد تكرار تلك الأيام التي تخلو منك ..
فخلِّها تصير إلى تراب و لتتفتّح حياتي الآن على نورِك ..
لتبقى يقظة إلى الأبد ...

لا أدري ما الذي أضلّني .. و أيَّ وعدٍ أغواني ..
فرحتُ أهيمُ على وجهي في الدروب و بين المروج ..
ربّ ادنُ بوجهك من قلبي .. و بلِّغني رسالةً من عندك ...

خطايا كثيرة .. ضلالات شتّى .. ما تزال تكمُنُ خبِيئةً في قلبي ..
لا تُبعدني ثانيةً بسبب ذلك .. يـــــــــارب .. بل طهِّرها بالنُّـــور
