Tagore

A mountain chapel

in

Today I visited a mountain chapel on 1045 m altitude in Switzerland. It is a cute, small chapel and the colours inside full of a very intensive green light. I was so inspired when I found a saying from Tagore, that I would like to share it with you.

It is in German:

Ich schlief und träumte, das Leben wäre Freude.
Ich erwachte und sah, das Leben war Pflicht.
Ich handelte und siehe, die Pflicht war Freude

Here my translation in English:

I slept and dreamt that life would be joy.

The national Anthem of Bangladesh: Amar Shonar Bangla

This is one of my favourite songs by Tagore. It simply melts my heart, especially when (rare and precious times) Sri Chinmoy sings it. The lyrics are simply extraordinary.
