| | Tagore, Rabindranath |
| | Tagore came to love the Bengali countryside, most of all the Padma River, an often-repeated image in his verse. | | | Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby freeing it from traditional models based on classical Sanskrit. | | | The son of the religious reformer Debendranath Tagore, he early began to write verses, and after incomplete studies in England in the late 1870s, he returned to India. |

| | His grandfather Prince Dwarkanath Tagore, was a leading businessman and a man of letters who adopted the Brahmo faith propagated by his friend, the reformer Raja Rammohun Roy. | | | This internationalism and sensitivity to the fundamental unity of man is perhaps Tagore's lasting legacy to the world. | | | For him, life's multifarious variety is ever a source of pleasure without outward reason. |

| | The nature and authority of scripture: Implication for Hindu-Christian Dialogue |
| | Perhaps the main reason for Tagore's rejection of the doctrine of infallibility was his refusal to accept passages in the Upanisads affirming the identity of atman and brahman. | | | Sen went much further than Tagore in his denunciation of what he regarded to be doctrine and dogma and his unfavorable comparison of these with "fire of inspiration." Doctrine and dogma which relate to intellectual cognition, reasoning and logical thought were cold and lifeless and had nothing to do with the attainment of salvation. | | | Towards the end of his life, Sen, like Debendranath Tagore before him, gave increasing prominence to the authority of divine command (adesa) and claimed to have received a special revelation and dispensation from God. |

| | Tagore was not all metaphysics and mysticism, even though his inner culture was supreme in matters of mystical and spiritual beauty, and through varied artistic outlets, he explored the ecstatic bliss of the Universal Soul in the human soul. | | | Tagore held that "where the eagerness to teach others is too strong, especially in the matter of spiritual life, the result becomes meagre and mixed with untruth."... | | | TAGORE: Perhaps that has also been our weakness, and it is due to an indiscriminate spirit of toleration that all forms of religious creeds and crudities have run riot in India, making it difficult for us to realize the true foundation of our spiritual faith. |
