Rabindranath Tagore Quotes About Spirituality

Quotes about: Spirituality

• True deliverance of man is the deliverance from Avidya i.e. ignorance. It is not in destroying anything that is positive and real, for that cannot be possible, but that which is negative, which obstructs our vision of truth.

  Rabindranath Tagore

  God, Real, Ignorance

• Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.

  Rabindranath Tagore

  Love, God, Spiritual

  Rabindranath Tagore, Mohit Kumar Ray (2007). “Poems”, p.445, Atlantic Publishers & Dist

• The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.

  Rabindranath Tagore

  Spiritual, Taken, Heart

  Rabindranath Tagore, Mohit Kumar Ray (2007). “Essays”, p.90, Atlantic Publishers & Dist

• Only those of tranquil minds, and none else, can attain abiding joy, by realizing within their souls the Being who manifests one essence in a multiplicity of forms.

  Rabindranath Tagore

  God, Essence, Joy

  Rabindranath Tagore, Sahitya Akademi (1996). “The English writings of Rabindranath Tagore”

• Our self (Soul), as a form of God's joy, is deathless. For his joy is amritham, eternal bliss. We know that the life of a Soul, which is finite in its expression and infinite in its principle, must go through the portals of death in its journey to realize the infinite.

  Rabindranath Tagore

  God, Journey, Self

• Our self (Soul) is maya (an illusion) where it is merely individual and finite, where it considers its separateness as absolute; it is satyam (truth) where it recognizes its essence in the universal and infinite, in the Supreme Self, in paramatman (God). This is what Christ means when he says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (i.e. before Abraham was God, who is the same that is in my soul - I am That.)

  Rabindranath Tagore

  God, Mean, Self
