Practise reason



The rational man the ten thousand things their asylum,
the good man their treasure,
the not-good man's that which he holds fats to.

Beautiful words one can thereby sell.
Noble deeds one can thereby accomplish more with the people.

A man his not-goodness why thrown away he is?
Therefore was elected heaven's son
were appointed three ministers.

Though having reverently in hand as a screen
thereto riding with four horses,
not equalled by sitting still propounding this reason?

The ancient their reason why they esteemed this reason, that is:
What, indeed?
Is it not say that if sought then it is obtained?
He who has sin thereby can be saved?
Therefore it becomes the world's honor.

To cherish oneself



"To cherish oneself"
Recognise own values, do not exhibit, do not impose on others.

What is revealed?




I caught the sun, and you caught me.  How do you view me, and yourself?  Does the sun reveal to you as it reveals to me?

"My Song"




This song of mine will wind its music around you,

my child, like the fond arms of love.

The song of mine will touch your forehead

like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit by your side and

whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd

it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,

it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead

when dark night is over your road.

My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,

and will carry your sight into the heart of things.

And when my voice is silenced in death,

my song will speak in your living heart.

--> Rabindranath Tagore
