What does it mean to live like summer flowers and die like autumn leaves? Please tell me.
This is Tagore's famous saying, which expresses his open-minded outlook on life. "Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers" says: When people are alive, they should cherish life, bloom their beauty like summer flowers, show their advantages, and don't be decadent and negative; "Death is as beautiful as autumn leaves" means don't be afraid to face death and let nature take its course. As Tagore said, "Life and death are all part of life, just like lifting your feet and stepping down is walking." This sentence is a bit like a Christian prayer: "(His death) I know that you (God) need him. If this is your wish, well, I will follow your wish. " Christ's explanation of death is somewhat helpless, but Tagore's view of death is extremely natural, which once again reflects his open-minded outlook on life and is also a true portrayal of his life.
