Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore
some fleeting thoughts

By ‘God’ I mean a being absolutely infinite–that is, a substance consisting in infinite attributes, of which each expresses eternal and infinite essentiality."This is how Spinoza expressed his idea of God in the Ethics, part 1 definition 6. Rabindranath experienced the existence of God in Nature. Stuart hampshire explained Spinoza's definition of God as the single substance, which is identified with Nature conceived as a whole ..." Rabindranath in a poem also made explicit that he is the sky and the nest as well.."THOU ART THE sky and thou art the nest as well.
0 thou beautiful, there in the nest it is thy love that encloses the soul with colours and sounds and odours.
There comes the morning with the golden basket in her right hand bearing the wreath of beauty, silently to crown the earth.
And there comes the evening over the lonely meadows deserted by herds, through trackless paths, carrying cool draughts of peace in her golden pitcher from the western ocean of rest.
But there, where spreads the infinite sky for the soul to take her flight in, reigns the stainless white radiance. There is no day nor night, nor form nor colour, and never, never a word"
.একাধারে তুমিই আকাশ, তুমি নীড়।
হে সুন্দর, নীড়ে তব প্রেম সুনিবিড়
প্রতি ক্ষণে নানা বর্ণে নানা গন্ধে গীতে
মুগ্ধ প্রাণ বেষ্টন করেছে চারি ভিতে।
সেথা ঊষা ডান হাতে ধরি স্বর্ণথালা
নিয়ে আসে একখানি মাধুর্যের মালা
নীরবে পরায়ে দিতে ধরার ললাটে;
সন্ধ্যা আসে নম্রমুখে ধেনুশূন্য মাঠে
চিহ্নহীন পথ দিয়ে লয়ে স্বর্ণঝারি
পশ্চিমসমুদ্র হতে ভরি শান্তিবারি।
তুমি যেথা আমাদের আত্মার আকাশ,
অপার সঞ্চারক্ষেত্র, সেথা শুভ্র ভাস;
দিন নাই, রাত নাই, নাই জনপ্রাণী,
বর্ণ নাই, গন্ধ নাই--নাই নাই বাণী। নৈবেদ্য > ৮১

Hello World


Hello World JULY 24, 2015 / MYSKYBIRD / EDIT Hello World Just landed here! A beautiful blue sky above me and an emerald green rain washed lush carpet of soft grass below, a fragrant wisp of wind touching my hair -is this the world where we all belong? From where did this wonderfully arranged perfectly tuned intricately designed, harmoniously coordinated evolve? Who made this world for us to enjoy its fruits and flowers, its rivers and seas, the abundance of nature? ‘Creation’ is a subject that has always left us pondering. As many as there are languages, faiths and beliefs there are theories of creation, leaving aside the Big Bang. I would love to share some of the views on creation which I have gathered during my journey and may be get some more from you. It will be a story telling session rummaging through nooks and corners of customs and traditions which embellish human thought and imagination.
