In the context of our life, every day we receive the outline of life, and the worth of our life lies in going on colouring it with strokes of the brush. And it is from the writings of Kobiguru that we draw the supply of paint for that brush. The poems of Rabindranath Tagore, the songs of Rabindranath Tagore — all these make us think, and teach us to know life anew in new colours and forms. Here we present some such quotes of Rabindranath Tagore, taken from the writings of Rabindranath Tagore.
My Self
“If there is failure within this self of mine, I shall not find release from it by attaining some other selfhood.”
Judging Merit
“Ninety-nine out of a hundred of the meritless are unaware of their own lack of merit, but where is the meritorious person who does not know his own merit at all?”
Good and Evil: The Two Sides of a Human Being
“Among human beings there is a second birth: a person is born once within the womb, and again in the free world. One birth of a human being is for oneself, the other for all.”
Time Is for No One
“I am in the ocean of time, yet I have not a single moment.”
The Humble Person
“Humility is a negative virtue. Humility lies in not remembering the matter in which I might take pride; to remember that I must express humility — that is not called humility.”
Playing with Fire
“One who fears fire cannot make use of fire.”
The Way of Family Life
“A truly ideal person is hard to find in this world. A great virtue of love is this: it makes an ideal of everyone — if of no one else, at least of one person.”
Dignity and Sense: Together They Make a Human Being
“The education of humanity is the ultimate education, and everything else is subject to it.”
The Writer and the Householder
“One whose mind never plays any part in the affairs of the world will surely write good books.”
Between Asking and Receiving
“The greatest things we receive in this world, we receive free of charge; no price has to be paid for them. Precisely because no price is paid, we can never fully grasp how great they are.”
In Closing
Rabindranath covers all of it — our sleep, our dreams, our waking. Through his writings Rabindranath has expressed the most detailed feelings of our life. Not only our life; he has left his gold-studded signature on our Bengali literature as well. He is at once a pioneering Bengali, a poet, a writer, a playwright, a composer, a painter, an essayist, an actor and a philosopher. In his writings we find, in our everyday life, the inspiration to walk with new vigour, to love, to rise and live. And it is just such quotations that we have presented here today, so that some of the fogged corners of your everyday life may become a little clearer.
