I
We had an old cashier, Kailash by name, who was like one
of the family. He was a great wit, and would be constantly cracking jokes with
everybody, old and young; recently married sons-in-law, new comers into the
family circle, being his special butts. There was room for the suspicion that
his humour had not deserted him even after death. Once my elders were engaged
in an attempt to start a postal service with the other world by means of a
planchette. At one of the sittings the pencil scrawled out the name of Kailash.
He was asked as to the sort of life one led where he was. Not a bit of it, was
the reply. "Why should you get so cheap what I had to die to learn?"
Rabindranath
Tagore: My Reminiscences | Chapter 2:
Teaching Begins (1912)
II
"We
read the world wrong and say that it deceives us."
Rabindranath
Tagore: Stray Birds (1916)
III
"The
real friendship is like fluorescence, it shines better when everything has
darken."
Rabindranath
Tagore (source unknown to the composer).
