To be the simplest person, take the happiest road: we often feel tired, but think too much; We always say that life is boring, but we don't know how to taste; We are often busy with business, but we are not satisfied; We are always competitive, but our vanity is too strong. If you don't compare with others, your heart will be indifferent, and life is so simple.
Original text:
What time? End of the day
What if the day is over?
If the birds stop singing?
If the wind is tired?
Then cover me with a veil of darkness?
Just like you wrap the earth with a sleeping sheet and close it gently?
Lotus petals drooping at dusk
From travelers
Whose grain bag was empty before?
The voyage is over?
Whose clothes are torn and dirty?
Whose strength is exhausted, except shame and poverty.
Let his life be reborn like a flower
Cover for your kind night?
Translation:
When the light disappears.
If time goes by.
The birds stopped singing.
The wind is also tired.
Then cover me with a thick curtain of darkness
Just like at night, you wrap the earth in a bed of sleep.
Gently close the petals of the water lily.
The journey is not over yet, and the bag is empty.
Clothes are torn and dirty, and people are exhausted.
You have eliminated the shame and embarrassment of the passengers.
Let him spend your intimate night
As fresh as a flower.
Wake up on the night you love.

Tagore style:
patriotism
His works reflect the Indian people's strong desire to change their destiny under the oppression of imperialism and feudal caste system, describe their indomitable struggle, and are full of distinctive patriotism and democratic spirit.
Most of his works are based on the real life in India, reflecting the tragic fate of the Indian people under the heavy oppression of colonialism, feudalism and ignorance and backwardness, depicting the changes of Indian society and the awakening of a new generation under the impact of new ideas, and also recording his personal spiritual exploration.
About death
Tagore had an extraordinary understanding of death. He said: "Life as a whole will never take death seriously. Before he died, he laughed, danced and played. It builds, stores and loves. Only when we separate the fact of individual death from the whole life can we see its emptiness and become depressed. We forgot all about life. Death is only part of it, just like looking at a piece of cloth under a microscope. It looks like a net. We stared at those big holes and imagined shaking. But the truth is, death is not the ultimate truth. It looks dark, just as the sky looks blue, but death is not a blackened entity, just as the sky does not leave its color on the wings of birds. "
"In Tagore's works, death is full of poetry and yearning. For example, in the last stage of Gitanjali, more than 20 poems were used to praise death and express the process of being the same as God in death.
View of good and evil
Tagore is an optimist. He believes that the world is developing towards absolute goodness, and firmly believes that evil will eventually become good. The poet believes that we have pain because we feel limited, but this is not fixed or final, and so is happiness. Therefore, the existence of good and evil is not absolute, but it is real to us. We must unite with infinite activities through the karmic hemolysis in the Bhagavad-gita, that is, through the practice of selfless kindness, in order to obtain universal life or moral life.
He said, "To live in perfect goodness is to realize life in infinity. This is the most comprehensive and profound outlook on life, that is, the view we can have on the whole life through inner moral strength. The Buddha's teaching is to cultivate this moral power to the highest degree and understand that our scope of action should not be limited to a narrow self-domain. "
"When the Buddha thought about how to liberate mankind from the bondage of pain, he had reached the truth that when mankind achieved the highest goal by integrating individuals into the universe, mankind was liberated from the bondage of pain." Because of this, Tagore admires Buddha, and his poems reflect the connection between individual and whole from everything.
