925. Words Of Wisdom... By Rabindranath Tagore Poem by V F

This is not a poem... but encouraging words by Rabindranath Tagore... a father speaks these words to his daughter as she stands on the threshold of change.. ready to leave his warm and safe nest and fly off to exciting, strange and unknown places..

“Do not be looking back, my child. Have no hesitations, but face bravely whatever fate may have in store for you. Go forward rejoicing, ready with all your strength to choose the Good from whatever may come before you. Surrender yourself fully to God, accepting Him as your only help, and then, even in the midst of loss and error, you will be able to follow the path of the Best. But if you remain divided, offering part of yourself to God and part elsewhere, then everything will become difficult. May God so deal with you that you will no longer have any need of the little help we can give you”
