Thank you again Teo for this inspiring post.
Rabindranath brings his series of realizations to a period with his pages on the mystery of love. "Who could have breathed or moved if the sky were not filled with joy, with love?" The soul is on a pilgrimage: it is traveling from the law, which assigns its relative place in the moral order, to love, which is its moral freedom. Buddha named this infinite love Brahma Vihara-"the joy of living in Brahma." And he taught that whoever would attain to it must purge himself from hatred, and the malice of deceit, and the rage of injury. The free spirit was he who could have measureless love for all creatures-even as a mother has it for her only child.
Thank you kindly Teo for this topic.
I have always enjoyed Tagore.
An accomplished poet, novelist, short story writer, painter, playwright, philosopher, and educator, Tagore first achieved fame in the West when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. The prize coincided with the publication in English of Gitanjali ("Song Offerings"), Tagore's most important collection of poems or songs up until that time and still his most-read work...
"From love the world is born, by love it is sustained, toward love it moves, and into love it enters."
Thank you Teo
