Quote by Rabindranath Tagore: “Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”

Faith isn't about certainty — it's about sensing what is coming before the evidence is visible. Like a bird that begins singing before sunrise, genuine trust in something larger than present circumstances means acting on a truth you cannot yet see fully.

India was still under British colonial rule, and Tagore's international recognition was both a cultural triumph and a complex political event.
