Rabindranath Tagore · Philosophy
Tagore’s core philosophy, drawn from the Upanishads and made modern: our end is not to escape the world but to <em>realise</em> the infinite within the finite, the one Self in all things, and to find that the ground of creation is joy.
You learned that Tagore’s Sadhana reworks the Upanishadic vision: the finite is not opposed to the infinite but reveals it, the individual self finds itself through union with the All rather than isolation, and joy ( ananda ) is the source of creation. Explain these ideas in your own words.
