Death

Poor Tagore enjoyed the earth only for eighty fleeting years. But the blessed earth has obtained him for all time.

"Death," says Tagore, "lays its hand upon the ego in all its forms. The world is not deprived of anything. All losses are incurred by the ego alone." —Shantiniketan 7

Tagore has died only to become deathless fully and integrally in the Indian, nay, universal consciousness.
