“Love is when the soul starts to sing and the flowers of your life bloom on their own”
Rabindranath Tagore, fondly called ‘Gurudev’ is among the most influential personalities of India. His contribution as a poet, musician and writer has a profound influence on Indian culture. He authored a collection of poems titled ‘Gitanjali’ for which he received Noble Prize in the year 1913. His acumen in poetry can be gauged by the fact that he wrote the national anthem of two countries. Every day in India and Bangladesh, people feel proud of their country while singing their national anthem written by ‘Gurudev’. From short stories to novel, from poetry to music, he was involved in every aspect of artistic expression. This year, on 7th May, we will celebrate his 159th birth anniversary and cherish his contribution to the world of art and culture.
Here are some soul-stirring quotes about love by Rabindranath Tagore.
Love adorns itself, it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty
Love is a beautiful feeling in itself. The hidden love inside our hearts searches for beautiful ways to express itself.
Love does not claim possession but gives freedom
The true love does not possess, it sets us free.
Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it
Love is love. You cannot create an analogy to explain it. Love happens just like the natural phenomenon on Earth.
Love’s gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted
Love can only be reciprocated once it is truly accepted.
