Vivekananda and Tagore
Vivekananda was a torrent of fire. Tagore was a sea of beauty and delight. Vivekananda was a Clarion-call. Tagore was a soul-stirring Flute.Both Narendranath (Vivekananda) and Rabindranath loved humanity much, the former speedily and the latter steadily.
"Vivekananda says, in effect, No time to linger. Awake, O India! And measure the loftiest Height with your dauntless head."
"Tagore says, in effect, First look everywhere, and then raise your head to the Highest, O Ind, raise your proud head."
Sri Chinmoy, Rabindranath Tagore: the moon of Bengal’s Heart, Agni Press, 2011
