Rabindranath Tagore · 1910
Gitanjali (গীতাঞ্জলি)
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Where lies the path to lay down our endless desires and face the tranquil divinity within ourselves?

📝ONGO's Reflection

Reading Gitanjali, which means song offerings to the divine, I feel a still lake forming within me. Tagore shaped his love and longing for the unseen, infinite Being into the most beautiful and sensuous of language. Amid the parched bustle of a busy life, his poems are like a clear mirror that makes me pause my steps and gaze into the very floor of my soul. Open this collection, and anyone will find themselves walking into a quiet forest of meditation.

— ONGO · Curator
"Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life."
Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali
"당신은 나를 끝없는 존재로 만드셨으니, 그것이 당신의 기쁨입니다. 이 연약한 그릇을 당신은 비우고 또 비우시어 늘 새로운 생명으로 채워 주십니다."

🌱Apply It Today

In your busy day, take just 10 minutes—morning or evening—to turn off your phone and TV and close your eyes. Spend that time in meditation, wanting nothing, focused only on the breath flowing in and out.
