4 Rabindranath Tagore Quotes on Balance

Rabindranath Tagore quotes on balance

41. A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.

54. Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.

78. In love, at one of its poles you find the personal, at the other the impersonal. At one you have the positive assertion- Here I am; at the other the equally strong denial- I am not. Without this ego what is love? And again, with only this ego how can love be possible?

110. Obstacles are necessary companions to expression, and we know that the positive element in language is not in its obstructiveness. Exclusively viewed from the side of the obstacle, nature appears inimical to the idea of morality. But if that were absolutely true, moral life could never come to exists. Life, moral or physical, is not a completed fact, but a continual process, depending for its movement upon two contrary forces, the force of resistance and that of expression. Dividing these forces into two mutually opposing principles does not help us, for the truth dwells not in the opposition but in its continual reconciliation.
