Tagore’s Concept of Divinity in His Poetry

Abstract

Tagore assumes God as the great creator and artist. Gitanjali describes human love: love for man, women, children, for his country, nature and entire life. Tagore believed in the divinity of humanity. To achieve this ideal Tagore seems to suffuse the human soul with the rhythm and melody of his poetry. He explains the concept of the Lord of life in all his poems. He presents the theme of life of the Lord in various forms. He makes one realize the perfect relationship between the supreme soul and all visible, invisible forms in creation. He describes God in various forms. According to Tagore, God is both natural and supernatural. He describes HIM as a master poet. He expresses his feelings in Gitanjali and Prasna by addressing God. He firmly believes that one who fails to find God in himself will never be able to see HIM in others.
