The meaning of our self is not to be found in its separateness from God and others, but in the ceaseless realisation of yoga, of union; not on the side of the canvas where it is blank, but on the side where the picture is being painted.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, Sadhana: The Realization of Life

God respects me when I work, but he loves me when I sing.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE, attributed, Splendors of the Pearl
