In desperate hope I go and search for her
in all the corners of my room;
I find her not.
My house is small
and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
in the allness of the universe.
- Rabindranath Tagore
"This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike,strike at the root of penury in my heart.Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love."- Rabindranath Tagore
Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God,
First fill your own house with the Fragrance of love...
Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God,
First remove the darkness of sin from your heart...
Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,
First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen...
Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,
First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden. ..
Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,
First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.
- Rabindranath Tagore
I was sitting on a mountain peak
No one around it was all just me
I said then Air do you listen to me
I take you in and out as i breath
Why do you never complained and rejected to be
Air said your the reason i am to be
I turned around to the spring
O water you cover the mother earth
You travel around the Globe for what
Why, what’s your purpose what do you seek
Water said i seek if i can meet a thirsty being
So i can be of use and save his being.
I looked away down to the mother earth
Hello graceful Lady how do you do
I am fine darling grace be on to you
Tell me mother earth why do you revolve
You never take a nap or come to rest
Earth said dear I am in love with you
I revolve around myself to save you from heat
I turn around to give you night so you sleep
I turn around again so you can work and see
Then i revolve around sun so you have seasons
Your nature i know i am the mother earth
I make sure you properly sleep and grow
Turned to sun ..O son why do you burn
Sun said beloved it’s in Love that i burn
I said how come you love me so much
Lord made me just to serve thee
So finally i turned around to myself and said
Praise be on to the Lord of Heavens and Earth
