- Rabindranath Tagore

About this Quote

In this profound quote by Rabindranath Tagore, the poet clarifies the essence of love. He suggests that love is not about owning or possessing somebody, but rather about granting them flexibility. Real love, according to Tagore, commemorates uniqueness and permits the other person to be their genuine self. It is not possessive or controlling; instead, it is generous and liberating. Love includes the determination to let go of individual desires, expectations, and control, enabling the loved one to flourish and grow. Tagore's words act as a tip that love, at its core, has to do with fostering flexibility and consistency in relationships.
