R W EMERSON -“We are coaxed, flattered and duped from morn to eve, from birth to death; and where is the old eye that ever saw through the deception? The Hindoos represent Maia, the illusory energy of Vishnu, as one of his principal attributes. As if in this gale of warring elements which life is, it was necessary to bind souls to human life as mariners in a tempest lash themselves to the mast and bulwarks of a ship, and Nature employed certain illusions as her ties and straps… Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.”

Here I stand with arms outstretched to hail man — divine in his own image — and sing to his glory in notes glad and free. No one knows whence and at whose call came pouring endless inundations of men rushing madly along—to lose themselves in the sea; Aryans and non-Aryans, Dravidians and Chinese, Scythians, Huns, Pathans and Moghuls — all are mixed, merged and lost in one body. Now the door has opened to the West and gifts in hand they beckon and they come —they will give and take, meet and bring together, none shall be turned away from the shore of this vast sea of humanity that is India.”

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“In the Upanishads we find the note of certainty about the spiritual meaning of existence.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“India chose her places of pilgrimages on the top of hills and mountains, by the side of the holy rivers, in the heart of forests and by the shores of the ocean, which along with the sky, is our nearest visible symbol of the vast, the boundless, the T.”
RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout the world and gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite sky. It is this sorrow of separation that gazes in silence all night from star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy darkness of July It is this overspreading pain that deepens into loves and desires, into sufferings and joys in human homes; and this it is that ever melts and flows in songs through my poet’s heart.”

The life breath of thy music runs from sky to sky the holy stream of thy music breaks through all stony obstacles and rushes on. My heart longs to join in thy song, but vainly struggles for a voice.

RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment’s hesitation to crush beauty and life out of them, moulding them into money.”
RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man’s dharma, man’s religion, and man’s self is the vessel.”
RABINDRA NATH TAGORE –“The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shouts in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.”

RABINDRANATH TAGORE –“The emancipation of our physical nature is in attaining health, of our social being in attaining goodness, and of our self in attaining love.”
RABINDRANATH TAGORE –“The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man’s dharma and religion, and man’s self is the vessel which is to carry this sacrifice to the altar.”
RABINDRANATH TAGORE –“The man whose acquaintance with the world does not lead him deeper than science leads him, will never understand what it is that the man with the spiritual vision finds in these natural phenomena… When a man… meets the eternal spirit in all objects, then is he emancipated, for then he discovers the fullest significance of the world into which he is born; then he finds himself in perfect truth, and his harmony with the All is established.”

RAHUL GANDHI –“I have heard my father telling my mother that he would have stood in front of the masjid to protect it.”
RAIMUNDO PANIKKAR –“The entire purport of the Vedas is liberation or freedom. Freedom may be interpreted in many ways. It is Brahmn, it is atman, it is nirvana. Or it can be said to consist in being, in happiness, in release, from all *******. More numerous still are the ways that are supposed to lead to it. Right action, true knowledge and genuine love are the classical ways.”
RAINER MARIA RILKE –“It s possible that the whole history of the world has been misunderstood? Yes, t is possible.”
RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER –“There is diminishing of happiness when any thought of envy or hatred creeps in. But when the wise man feels the oncoming of such a feeling, he should remember that if portends his fall. Greatness consists in philanthropy, large-heartedness, magnanimity and goodwill towards all.”
RAJA YOGI RAJA YOGI B K JAGDISH CHANDER –“Though man has language as a potent means of expression, and he has the intellect also to argue his case and to convince others, yet man ultimately uses the ways of the animals who… do not have language and reason as their means to seek justice… So, the lesson I learn from history, is that man does not learn lesson from history.”
RAJAN -“In this vastness there is place for space and much more. In this eternity there is place for time and the chimes of its measure. In the depth of the deep there is space for the light to enter but not the door to escape. In the roaming mind, there is space for the quietude by tapas of fortitude. In the emerald blue silence there is space for awareful existence of the fullness of ananda. In awareness there is the melody of the music of the spheres pulsating with cosmic life — heard only in silence. In consciousness, you and I are nowhere or everywhere vibrant in the soft whisper of the fathomless silence. If only we listen.”
