 Hi, coffee time! This is a lovely morning and this is Chulip hoping you'll join me with your juice, tea and any other thing that we can sip on a beautiful day like this and enjoy some talks. Today what we are going to do is join you with honouring a great literary bird Rabindranath Thakur who was born in India called Khatta and he was born in 7th May, 1861 and he passed away with the immense treasure that he left for us in 7th August, 1941. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and he was a writer, playwright, poet, songwriter, essayist, painter and whatnot. He was as in Bengali we say kaal joi which means one who is born in a century or even centuries such a very talented person that came to us and left all the semesters. His fields of contribution is vast, it's impossible to talk all about them but let's go to the creative forces that he talked about in many of his writing especially the songs he spoke he wanted to recognize the creative force that makes him write or compose the songs or paint or write the stories so of the the force that he speaks about is he calls it who sits behind my eyes and he says of this force creative force residing in the innermost me you snatch words from my lips with my words you utter your own speech mixing your own melody what i wish to say i seem to forget i only say what you want me to say in the stream of songs i lose sight of shores drifting into a far unknown i can see one definite rule in the universal law it does not allow the imminent the present ever to be dwarfed it does not allow the present to know what it is only a step in the series of sequences but make it believe that it is sufficient in itself when the tree bears blossom we are inclined to think that the flowers are its only aim so beautiful are they so sweet is their fragrance that they seem to be the highest realization of the ever-toiling and prospering woods but the facts they are instrumental in bearing fruit is hidden in obscurity and in the obscurity as we know lies the immense strength of the invisible forces forces that makes the wind the sea to rise and the air to be our oxygen it's the same forces that makes you or me find our own serenity in the work we do tulip art is not just about painting or writing or dancing or singing every moment is art the way we talk it's an every word makes a painting for the day is a part of that picture of the day of how we connect to everyone around us how we talk how we make them laugh we how we laugh and apart from the worldly things that surround us just for a moment if you lift the thoughts to that invisible level where actually everything is happening we are the translations or the outcomes of all that is meant to be the universe the law of the universe that comes through us to the world and let's get back to Rabindranath Thakur again here once more here out to this innermost strength which we all of us have you me they small children in their own big adults in their own but it has to be recognized so Rabindranath Thakur says oh innermost has all your thirst being quenched coming and residing within me in a thousand drifting streams of joy and sorrow I have failed my earn offering it to you I have massively rung out my heart a juice as from grapes started a worship with many a perfume many a song with different rhythm I have woven into garland to welcome you as a bridegroom making the gold of my desire I have composed each day for your moments pleasure an image ever new so this is where we find the literary giants in our most thoughts where he is the bridegroom who welcomes his Debbie or the goddess of creativity and he has made her into his things of worship and when we worship when we love we give that source our best so I'm reading from this book Thakur testament and here is a picture of Rabindranath Thakur on the flap this book has been a treasure for me of a long years I carried it around like a mantra wherever I went whether I flew whether I was in water or I was walking the last of the book has some more poetry from the literary giant Rabindranath Thakur of his thoughts like an ship anchoring on a shore it is for the union of you and me that there is light in the sky it is for the union of you and me that the earth is decked in dusky green it is for the union of you and me that night sits motionless it is for the union of you and me dawn appears opening the eastern door with sweet murmurs in her voice and so Thakur not only found his voice the enormous voice but he left that creative force and I must honor recognized it and share it with us and it helped me also to find my inner voice to give that an identity and that inner strength within us seems to reach up to the universe that gives us the rainy sky or the sunny sky and to believe in these days of coronavirus that indeed there is someone who sits behind the eyes who will definitely take all these days of pause and reflection upon how we live and we shall come back to what we call as a normal life and perhaps with lots of changes for the better of the universe for a better of our environment so why not sing a number today of Rabin and a Thakur I can do a small piece that is perfectly for the spring day today it's almost early summer isn't it and still we had a snow last year I mean last week but still we can still sing the song which is a mixture of Celtic tunes which Rabin and a Thakur did serve times and call them bhanga gun mixture of different tunes and this I love this honesty that when he mixes it's something foreign he did recognize them so this is a song which talks about the flowers butterflies and the blue sky thank you very much media special thanks to faith for putting it all together until we meet again stay safe stay healthy and enjoy the sunny skies thank you from tulip again
