Discover a thoughtful meditation on beauty, truth, and the power of inner harmony. This edition invites you to explore how Rabindranath Tagore links spiritual insight with everyday living. It guides readers to light their own lamps of understanding, balancing the pull of power with the higher call of compassion, patience, and beauty. The text speaks to readers who seek a deeper sense of purpose beyond material success, pointing toward a life of integrity, generosity, and inner peace. The book invites you to consider how we find meaning by offering our world in hospitality to the divine, why restraint can be the gateway to the good, and how suffering can become a source of wisdom and growth. It moves from personal reflection to broad reflections on society, art, religion, and the dance between freedom and responsibility. Philosophical ideas about power, beauty, and the rhythm of life explained in clear, accessible language. Thoughtful contrasts between external success and inner truth, with practical implications for daily living. Reflections on how childhood, youth, and aging reveal the infinite within the ordinary. A perspective that connects personal growth with a broader sense of humanity and peace. Ideal for readers of philosophy, spirituality, and Tagore’s timeless reflections on life, creativity, and truth.
Author
Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West." Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh's Amar Shonar Bangla.
