Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

“In the night we stumble over things and become acutely conscious of their separateness, but the day reveals the unity which embraces them. And the man whose inner vision is bathed in consciousness at once realizes the spiritual unity which reigns over all racial differences, and his mind no longer stumbles over individual facts, accepting them as final. He realizes that peace is an inner harmony and not an outer adjustment, that beauty carries the assurance of our relationship to reality, which waits for its perfection in the response of our love.”

“The butterfly counts not the months but moments, and has time enough.”

“WHAT you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.”

“Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.”

“When the voice of the Silent touches my words
I know him and therefore know myself.”

“A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.”

“Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.”
