Tagore unfolds a new horizon of human prayer where the heart is not in quest of the unknown alone but is also enchanted with the beauty of the world with all its flora and fauna. A sort of kindred relationship born of compassion and affection, kindness and conciliation is expressed in the words of prayer that tell a new truth: man is never along. The joys and sorrows, agonies and ecstasies, of the human mind seek consolation not merely within oneself but in an intimate association with all in and around one. What makes Tagore’s prayer so vibrant and arresting, living and pulsating? How does he come closet to our diverse thoughts and emotions through his songs of prayer? How does he remain an eternal iconoclast indealing with the prayers of the human heart? Perhaps love is the only key to negotiate all these and other allied questions as Tagore marvelously spells out in his exquisite songs of prayer. Here is a creator of songs par excellence who unfolds the glory of love in course of prayer of an enviably inimitable manner. In fact, love opens the unknown vista of the human heart that never yields to desolation, disappointment, dullness,, depression, dissociation or death.
