The organic sensitivity of Rabindranath Tagore's spirit arises in its most significant dimension from Buddhist ethics and manifests itself in the timeless message of emphatic love as the realization of dharma. The infinite good of the Highest Love finds its fulfilment in dharmakarma through devoted service to animals symbolizing the lowest and most despised creatures. Their ineffable suffering transforms human consciousness into the divine spirit of pardon, mercy, love and amity, thus inducing the emotional evolution of the individual. The animal world of Rabindranath Tagore symbolically incarnates the ultimate ideal of communion with the All in merciful compassion. The Supreme Truth of human destiny realized in bhakti through the idea of Visvakarma, finds its culmination in the suppression of the 'ego' and thus in achieving the highest 'Self within the Divine Heart.
