Truth

The fact of the matter is, that if the truths outside the field of one's own work did not appear of less moment, no man could have carried on with his duty.Therefore God has not confused man by making all objects equally clear to his vision.We must select for ourselves the field on which we would focus our attention, and forgo our greed for all the rest outside it,else we shall never find truth at all. I cannot worship at the shrine where you have seen truth's image fir if I did I should have to lose the inner truth of my own life.We must choose one course or the other.

Gora, 1910 , Rabindranath
