Dada BhagwanWhat is the essence of Vitrag? Fearlessness!
About This Quote
Vitrag is a literary and philosophical work written by Rabindranath Tagore. It is a collection of essays and letters written to his close friend, Dwijendralal Ray, between 1908 and 1913. In the book, Tagore spoke about what life was like before the advent of modern technology and the world as we know it today. According to Tagore, modern technology isn’t as beneficial as we think it is. Rather than helping us live better, these devices only cause us to become more dependent on them.
