Leave this chanting
- Ravindra Nath Tegore
Song - 11
Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads!
Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut?
Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee!
He is there where the tiller is tilling and hard ground
and where is pathmaker is breaking stones.
He is with them in Sun and shower,
and his garment is covered with dust.
Put off thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil!
Deliverance ?
Where is deliverance to be found?
Our master himself has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of creation;
He is bound us all for ever.
Come out thy meditations and leave aside thy flowers and incense!
What harm is there if thy clothes become tattered and stained?
Meet him and stand by him in toil and in sweet of thy brow.
Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore
