" "Strong Mercy:
My desires are many and my cry is pitiful,
but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals;
and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life through and through.
Day by day thou art making me worthy of the simple,
great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked — -this sky and the light, this body and the
life and the mind — -saving me from perils of overmuch desire.
There are times when I languidly linger
and times when I awaken and hurry in search of my goal;
but cruelly thou hidest thyself from before me.
Day by day thou art making me worthy of thy full acceptance by
refusing me ever and anon, saving me from perils of weak, uncertain desire.

Additional quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
সৃজনের একটা বিপুল আনন্দ আছে। কিন্তু কোনো মানুষ তো সমস্ত সময় সৃজনে ব্যাপৃত থাকিতে পারে না - তাহার শক্তির সীমা আছে, এবং সংসারে লিপ্ত থাকিয়া তাহাকে জীবনযাত্রা নির্বাহ করিতেও হয়। এই জীবনযাত্রায় তাহার বড়ো অসুবিধা। মনটির উপর অবিশ্রাম কল্পনার তা দিয়া সে এমনি করিয়া তুলিয়াছে যে, তাহার গায়ে কিছুই সয় না। সাত-ফুটা-ওয়ালা বাঁশি বাদ্য যন্ত্রের হিসাবে ভালো, ফুৎকারমাত্রে বাজিয়া ওঠে; কিন্তু ছিদ্রহীন পাকা বাঁশের লাঠি সংসার পথের পক্ষে ভালো, তাহার উপর স্মপূর্ণ নির্ভর করা যায়।

To Indians the idea of the transmigration of the soul from animal to man, and man to animal, does not seem strange, and so from our scriptures pity for all sentient creatures has not been banished as a sentimental exaggeration. When I am in close touch with Nature in the country, the Indian in me asserts itself and I cannot remain coldly indifferent to the abounding joy of life throbbing within the soft down-covered breast of a single tiny bird.
