Maybe, Gurudev wrote 2 different poems with the same title, like we all do....sometimes our poems are different, but our titles over-lap.
Thank you so much for sharing another wonderful creation of this 'once in a lifetime' gifted poet.

I enjoyed it Thank you
Original Poem of Gurudeo Tagore
Deliverance? Where is this deliverance to be found? Our master himself has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of creation; he is bound with us all for ever. Come out of thy meditations and leave aside thy flowers and incense! What harm is there if thy clothes become tattered and stained? Meet him and stand by him in toil and in sweat of thy brow.

Dear Madhav Ji,
Thank you for your Review.
As I've been a student of Psychology, having done my graduation and post-graduation in the same subject (a study which took me 5-6 years), I haven't had much exposure to the literature of these great stalwarts.
Sorry to say, but till date, I didn't read Tagore's Deliverance.
You mentioned it. I googled it out. Wonderful lines....
