Rabindranath Tagore Quotes
Freedom, Sir," I Began Unceremoniously, Without Greeting Or Inquiry, "freedom Is The Biggest Thing For Man. Nothing Can Be Compared To It - Nothing At All!" Surprised At My Outburst, My Master Looked Up At Me In Silence. "One Can Understand Nothing From Books," I Went On. "We Read In The Scriptures That Our Desires Are Bonds, Fettering Us As Well As Others. But Such Words, By Themselves, Are So Empty. It Is Only When We Get To The Point Of Letting The Bird Out Of Its Cage That We Can Realize How Free The Bird Has Set Us. Whatever We Cage, Shackles Us With Desire Whose Bonds Are Stronger Than Those Of Iron Chains. I Tell You, Sir, This Is Just What The World Has Failed To Understand. They All Seek To Reform Something Outside Themselves. But Reform Is Wanted Only In One's Own Desires, Nowhere Else, Nowhere Else!
