17.01.2022 Love and Loss Among all his children Tagore loved his eldest daughter Bella the most. In a letter to his wife when he was visiting Bella after she was married a...nd moved away he writes, 'We must forget our own joy and sorrow where our children are concerned. They come into the world not merely for our happiness. We must dedicate ourselves to their wellbeing and their future. Yesterday my mind went back to Bella's childhood continuously. I brought her up with such loving care. I remember how she would play with the pillows in bed and leap upon the little boys that came her way. How greedy she was and yet so good natured. I remember how I used to bathe her in our Park Street house, wake her up and feed her with warm milk in the nights when we were in Darjeeling. Those days of having her so close kept hunting me. But she doesn't know all this. It is better that she doesn't, so that she can now fill her life painlessly with affection and adoration for her new family. Let us never forget that.' Almost certainly this poem from his collection was written for Bella when she was a baby, When I bring to you coloured toys, my child, I understand why there is such a play of colours on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints--- when I give coloured toys to you, my child. When I sing to make you dance, my child, I truly know why there is music in leaves, and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth---when I sing to make you dance, my child. When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, my child, I know why there is honey in the cup of the flowers and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice--- when I bring sweet things to your greedy hands, my child. Tragically in 1918 Tagore who had already seen the death of his wife and 2 children lost Bella who was only 34. In a letter shortly after that to a friend he writes, 'Something has happened to me lately which I find difficult to mention. I very seldom speak about it to anybody. It is the death of my eldest daughter Bela. She was exceptionally beautiful in body and mind, and I cannot think that all things that are real in the world cannot afford to lose the intense reality of life and yet remain the same. We can only see one side of the truth from the point where we live and miss the meaning of death, but there must be another side where it is in harmony with life, like the setting sun whose meaning is not in its disappearance but in the new morning outside our ken.'

11.01.2022 Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God, First fill your own house with the Fragrance of love and kindness. Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God, First remove the darkness of sin , pride and ego, ... from your heart... Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer, First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen. And apologise to those you have wronged. Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees, First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden. And strengthen the young ones. Not crush them. Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, First forgive from your heart those who have hurt you! *Go not to the temple* by Rabindranath Tagore.
