Gitanjali And The Bhakti-Marga

There lie in three paths enumerated in the Gita, The Path of Knowledge, the Path of Action and the Path of Devotion But in Gitanjali, Tagore sides with the Path of Devotion. The heart full of prayers and the songs offerings Just like the flowers embedded in a wreath, The petals tender and beautiful. The heart is similarly full of emotion and feeling And the poet approaching the Unknown Divine With a feeling of total surrender. Negating the terror of death, the fear of dying, Contemplating God as Compassion, Opting for the bright side of hope though tone of dismay is there.
