Make an appreciative comment
Gore's poems express deep spiritual pursuit, that is, the ultimate principle of the universe or the god of love and harmony. He longs for the image of "complete unity" with God, that is, to achieve the unity of limited life and infinite life, that is, to reach the highest ideal state of mankind. To this end, he believes that people must improve their personality, abandon hypocrisy and ugliness, and only in the service of "love" can they be combined with God.
This sentence tells us that even in the face of pain and challenges, we can't lose our positive attitude and love for life. We should repay the world in the form of songs and turn everything we have experienced into beautiful memories and experiences. At the same time, we should constantly improve our personality, adhere to the faith of truth, goodness and beauty, and live in harmony with the world.

Enlightenment of life
Each of us will encounter all kinds of pains and setbacks in life. These difficulties may make us feel tired, helpless and even desperate. However, as Tagore said, we should face the pain in life with an optimistic attitude, turn the pain into songs and express our deep affection with songs. We can overcome difficulties through our own efforts and positive attitude, and we can also share our experiences with others to help others get out of their trough.
My experience is that when encountering difficulties and setbacks, we should always keep an optimistic and positive attitude. This will not only enable us to face difficulties better, but also inspire our inner strength and courage. Besides, we can better cope with the challenges in life by learning and improving our abilities. The most important thing is to keep a grateful heart, cherish the people and things around you and repay the world in your own way.
