―My heart is open and the entire universe follows into it

It is in Buddhism first that man is attributed with all the ideals of man. Buddhadeva freed mankind from the notion of a separate entity as a god, from the ritualistic imposition of sermons of Śāstras, from the performance of rites of yajñas. Naturally, his followers made him a god. Later on, we find that the Christians made Christ a god. Tagore‘s belief is that the essential values of Buddhism has been surcharged in the mankind of all religions. 
 In the book, Dharma Tagore has referred to Ashok the Great, who ruled India not by his monarchical power but under selfless love for mankind as a whole. He learned this selflessness from his sincere devotion to Buddha.

According to Tagore, Buddhism is neither confined to Hῑnayāna nor restricted to Mahāyāna. Buddhism, in the true sense, is prevalent in humanity in man‘s endeavor for wisdom, man‘s natural urge for love, and man‘s active energy for labor
The mind is before religion since the mind itself gives birth to religion. If one works and speaks in a corrupt mind, distress will follow one just as the wheels follow the bulls. If you work and speak in a delighted mind, happiness will follow you just as the shadow follows the body. 

The mind is frivolous and unbalanced. A wise person directs it towards the proper aim like an arrow.

Your enemy harms you. A person, malicious to you. But you do more harm to yourself if you lull the unjust and untruth in your mind. Your parents, kids, and friends may be much benevolent to you. But you will be more benevolent to yourself if you lead your mind along the truthful track.

In conclusion, we may say that the Buddhistic way of life should be revived. We need not be saffron-dressed monks on a large scale, but we should follow the ideals propagated by Buddha since honest life, good deeds, and universal love can save this terror-ridden world.

  ‘ Burkha’ was originally an outfit worn by women in Arabia. The whole argument of Burka is a choice, mostly gained momentum in reaction to attacks on Islam and using Muslim women as a tool for the attack on Islam, this has ultimately lead numerous women to defend their faith in face of bigoted attacks. As Muslims became the new definition of the oppressed class for numerous social groups like SJW, human rights groups, and feminists, their tradition and traditional outfits gained more symbolic value than they originally had. That’s where the whole argument of Burka is a choice came from. Defending Burka became equivalent if defending Muslims in general, which is simply not correct, Muslim men should not be given a free pass on the fate of their women and should be allowed to oppress their women, because they are oppressed, Burka is not even central to Islam. Therefore its defense as a defense for Muslims, in general, is misplaced. It’s silly that the rights group fell for this tra...
