Salutation
Salutation - meaning Summary
Unified Devotion in Gesture
Tagore’s poem presents a single, sweeping act of devotion in which the speaker offers their whole being to God. Sensory perception, thought, song and life are invoked through recurring images—laden monsoon clouds, converging melodies, and homing cranes—to show diverse human faculties uniting in humble surrender. The repeated phrase frames devotion as both an inward concentration and a voyage returning the self to its spiritual home.

Like a rain—cloud of July hung low with its burden of unshed showers let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee. Let all my songs gather together their diverse strains into a single current and flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee. Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day back to their mountain nests let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home in one salutation to thee.
