"Touch Yourself"
Author: Tagore
What do you make a living on,
I'm not interested.
I just want to know, what do you crave,
Do you have the courage to chase the desire in your heart.
What kind of challenges and difficulties do you face,
I just want to know,
You are complaining,
Or see it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Your age, I'm not interested.
I just want to know if you're willing to take a risk.
Even if it looks like a fool's danger,
For love, for dreams,
For the adventures of life.
What planet parallels your moon,
Do you see the core of your sorrow;
The betrayal of life,
It is to open your heart,
It still makes you wither and fear more pain.
Are you telling me sincerely,
Can you be sincere with yourself,
Even if it will disappoint others.
Who are you with,
Can you be with yourself?
Do you really like to be your partner,
In any empty moment.
What kind of past have you had,
How you live in every moment.
What achievements, status, family background do you have?
When it's all gone,
What is inside you, sustaining you.
May I see the real you.
May you touch your true self.
The poem "Touch Yourself" by Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was an Indian poet, writer, social activist, philosopher and Hindu nationalist. His representative works include "Gitanjali" and "Asuka Collection", and in 1913, he became the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature with "Jitanjali".
Short Comments:
Life is a feast of creation and experience, what kind of self will you create, how will you live every day? Tagore's "Touch Yourself" allows us to see what kind of state we are in from other dimensions. Read it quietly and ask yourself deep inside —
Do you have the courage to chase the desire in your heart?
Will you chase and take risks for the dreams in your heart?
Will you be honest with yourself?
When everything on the outside is gone, what supports you internally?
Then prepare to give an answer to the "true self" from these dimensions
