Rabindranath Tagore Quotes about World

  • The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.
  • The cure for all the illness of life is stored in the inner depth of life itself, the access to which becomes possible when we are alone. This solitude is a world in itself, full of wonders and resources unthought of. It is absurdly near; yet so unapproachably distant.
  • We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
  • You are invited to the festival of this world and your life is blessed.
  • Unless you have found God in your own soul, the whole world will seem meaningless to you.
  • Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, more or less accurately reflecting the world outside them, not realizing on the contrary that the mind is itself the principal element of creation.
  • I believe in a spiritual world - not as anything separate from this world - but as its innermost truth. With the breath we draw we must always feel this truth, that we are living in God.
