Rabindranath Tagore, one of the unmatched heroes Mother India gave birth to and is always proud of lived between 1861 and 1941. A great thinker, philosopher, writer, poet, reformist and visionary, Tagore was the voice of the spiritual heritage of India. He authored several volumes of poetical works that stand out to proclaim his philosophy of life and man and lofty spiritualism. The collection of his poems was published in London in 1912 under the title Gitanjali and got the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He was the first Indian to bag that honor. Rabindranath Tagore was born on 7 May 2022 and year on year, his birthday is celebrated on this date. Here is a collection of <keyword id="4860956" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rabindranath-tagore-quotes" source="Orion">Rabindranath Tagore quotes</keyword> that will illuminate you and inspire you. The importance of action To realize the dreams and aspirations of life, one must act and not just dwell in a utopian world hoping that things will happen by themselves. To move people out of their lazy conformities and get them to action, Tagore says, “You cannot cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." Service to humanity is the real joy Tagore was not only a spiritualist, he was a humanist who believed that the ultimate purpose of life is to serve others. In the following quote, he highlights that the real joy lies in serving fellowmen by saying, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold service was joy.” Tagore on the importance of Faith in life If faith is lost, life becomes meaningless and unlivable even for a moment. Faith can bring back everything that is lost from life. Faith is the undercurrent that steersman to move forward successfully with his goals and aspirations. Tagore has always laid a great emphasis on Faith in life evident in the following quote. “Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” Love of nature Very few poets have sung on nature and life as beautifully as Tagore did. Tagore loved nature to the core and has sung about its myriad beauties. For him, nature teaches man in many ways inspiring him and illuminating him through its beauties, freshness, colors, amazing powers and processes. In the following quote, Tagore records what he learns from clouds. “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” Death is not the end of life, but a door to new beginning Rabindranath Tagore had deep moorings in the Indian thought. He always believed in the immortality of the soul. For him, life is just another phase during the soul’s eternal journey. Tagore in fact admired death and also sang in its praise. In the following quote, we learn his attitude toward death. “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” We must deserve what we desire When we desire something in life, we must first make ourselves worthy of receiving it. When we increase our deservedness, things will come to us automatically. In the following quote, Tagore shows us the importance of increasing our deservedness. “Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.” Tagore on generation gap Times are changing and thoughts, approaches towards life, knowledge and outlooks of life are under constant flux through different generations. ‘Generation Gap’ is an important topic that we come across very often in life. Here is a highly thoughtful quote by Tagore that stresses the importance of understanding and acknowledging the generation gap. “Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.”

Politics is India is not boring. It is packed with pompous statements, lots of action and really interesting characters. Recipe for a full-blown Bollywood flick (talk about cliches). But, this year, it is time to move beyond freudian slips, scandalous remarks and attempts to alter history by our politicians. In 2018, some our ministers and lawmakers took it upon themselves to directly challenge science—yes, believe us someone did. Here is a rundown of the six biggest political gaffes of 2018, number 6 is bound to leave you spellbound (sarcasm intended). 1. “Would you take a used sanitary napkin to a friend’s place?”

You would not.’ She later took to twitter to clarify her comment by citing Zoroastrian traditions.

This time it happened while the prime minister was addressing a gathering in Bihar’s Champaran district. PM Modi made a similar slip while addressing a political rally in 2013. Mahatma Gandhi’s full name is — Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, however PM Modi accidently addressed him as as “Mohanlal” Karamchand Gandhi. “Why run after politicians for job? Graduates should get cows and milk them”—said one Indian chief minister

 The controversial Chief Minister of Tripura, Biplab Kumar Deb has now been crowned as the king of gaffes in India. He seems to have been a serial offender and was even reprimanded by his party’s senior leadership for a series of brazen statements. In a bizzare comment, he suggested that graduates in India should not run after ministers and political parties to get a job rather they should get cows and milk it to earn one million in 10 years. ‘Many trips to bar.

 The president of Indian National Congress Rahul Gandhi was in an embarrassing situation while addressing lawmakers in the Parliament. What he aimed was for a snarky remark against his arch-political rival Prime Minister Modi. However, ended up being the butt of several jokes. D<a href="https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-pradhan-mantri-ji-bar-mai-jate-hain-i-mean-abroad-rahul-gandhi-s-gaffe-leaves-pm-modi-laughing-2639481">uring his speec</a>h in the lower house of the Parliament in July 2018, he made a faux pas by saying “the Prime Minister took many trips to BAR. Reacting to some smirks and giggles - he immediately corrected himself and said “I mean abroad…” He mixed up the Hindi word ‘bahar’, which means outside, to the english word bar - where one generally goes to loosen up and have a good time. While Gandhi promptly clarified the whole situation made several politicians including the prime minister, who burst into laughter. A light Parliamentary moment, indeed! Biplab did it again!

 Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb— who we earlier dubbed as the ‘king of bloopers’ once said that nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore rejected the Nobel Prize as a mark of protest against the British Empire. In fact, Tagore never declined the award that he received in 1913 for his work ‘Gitanjali.’ He further added, Tagore was awarded with “Biswosrestho” (world’s best) award for Gitanjali. ‘Ducks raise oxygen level in water bodies’ - No prizes for guessing who said that!

 In another major gaffe, the Tripura chief minister claimed that ducks can raise oxygen levels when they swim in water bodies. Yes, yes this is a scientific fact, but it still became news because of the bizarre comment. He said, “When ducks swim in water, oxygen level automatically increases in the waterbody. It (oxygen) gets recycled. Fish in the water will get more oxygen. They also benefit from bird droppings. Thus, pisciculture will benefit and fishes will grow faster, that too in a completely organic way,” reported NDTV.
