My Polar Star

I have made You the polar star of my existence; never again can I lose my way in the voyage of life.

Wherever I go, You are always there to shower your beneficence all around me. Your face is ever present before my mind's eyes.

If I lose sight of You even for a moment, I almost lose my mind.

Whenever my heart is about to go astray, just a glance of You makes it feel ashamed of itself.

- Rabindranath Tagore

“To come close to others I had surrendered many of my beliefs and attitudes. But closeness achieved by such compromises and abdications is not genuine.”
