Quoting devotional poems from all traditions


On this path there is no asking and no not asking
The ego simply disappears the moment you touch him
The joy of looking for him is so immense that you just dive in...

"Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles
and give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love” - Rabindranath Tagore

''As I continued to gaze, all of a sudden a covering seemed to fall away from my eyes,
and I found the world bathed in a wonderful radiance, with waves of beauty and joy swelling on every side.
This radiance pierced in a moment through the folds of sadness and despondency which had accumulated over my heart,
and flooded it with this universal light,
I felt sure that some Being who comprehended me and my world was seeking his best expression in all my experiences,
uniting them into an ever-widening individuality which is a spiritual work of art."


A moment in Tagore's life...and under the 3 sentence rule!
