Additional quotes by Rabindranath Tagore

Essentially man is not a slave either of himself or of the world; but he is a lover. His freedom and fulfilment is in love, which is another name for perfect comprehension.

সহজকে সহজ রাখতে হলে শক্ত হতে হয়। ছন্দকে সহজ করতে চাও তো যতিকে ঠিক জায়গায় কষে আঁটতে হবে। লোভ বেশি, তাই জীবনের কাব্যে কোথাও যতি দিতে মন সরে না, ছন্দ ভেঙে গিয়ে জীবনটা হয় গীতহীন বন্ধন।

Asks the Possible to the Impossible, "Where is your dwelling place?" "In the dreams of the impotent," comes the answer.

The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark. The small truth has words that are clear; the great truth has great silence. - Rabindranath Tagore
