East and west - Rabrindranath Tagore

East and west It is not always a profound interest in man that carries travellers nowadays to distant lands. The modern age has brought the geography of the earth near to us,but made it difficult for us to come into touch with man. We go to strange lands and observe but we do not live there. We hardly meet men: but only specimens of knowledge. We are in haste to seek for general types and overlook individuals. . When we fall into the habit of neglecting to use the understanding that comes of sympathy in our travels, our knowledge of foriegn people grows insensitive and therefore easily becomes both unjust and cruel in it’s character, and also selfish and contemptuous in its application.

“Devi, I would be honoured and delighted to consider you my friend.”

The family is concerned to hear that I am travelling alone and ask about my family: are they so neglectful of me that they let me wander off into the world alone? Now I am the object of their pity, and a hurried conversation amongst the children ensues. The translator, with a smile like sunshine, plucks up the courage to blurt, “Will you be my friend?”

The girl translates their questions to me.

Looking into her eyes, I see that she is indeed an angel in disguise. A Devi sent from some higher authority to remind me that just as the island floats in the middle of Narmada, so does truth and beauty float in the sea of madness.

The children join me at my table while the women sit together at another table.
