Pay attention to spiritual cultivation. From many of Tagore's poems, we will find a shadow similar to religious spiritual cultivation. Many of his poems exude a kind of Zen, which embodies Tagore's rich inner world and extremely detached inner realm. He realized the true meaning of practice from Indian Buddhism and paid great attention to practice all his life. For negative emotions such as pain and anxiety, he summed up the methods of transfer, detachment and dismissal, and maintained the peace of mind through self-adjustment, so that the spirit was not disturbed by external things.
Modern medicine believes that bad emotions will cause bad changes in human physiological activities, such as high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and the secretion of harmful substances. It is extremely unfavorable to human health. Keeping a calm mind will minimize this kind of injury, which will be beneficial to health after a long time. Tagore's longevity has a lot to do with his emphasis on spiritual cultivation.
Keep exercising.
As the saying goes, running water does not rot. Tagore attaches great importance to physical exercise. He believes that proper exercise can make people energetic, strengthen their brains and stimulate creative inspiration. He insists on walking all the year round, especially when traveling around the country, basically insisting on walking, not only collecting creative materials, but also exercising.
Tagore also likes climbing mountains and doesn't care much about fatigue. He felt tired, so he sat down and thought about things everywhere. This alternating physical and mental exercise has a positive effect on promoting health. In addition, swimming, wrestling, horse riding and hunting are all sports that Tagore insisted on all the year round. It is because of persistent exercise that he laid a solid foundation for his health.
