Rabindranath Tagore - Leave This, a poem from Gitanjali read by Milad Sidky

"Leave This" is the poem number 11 from Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali: An Anthology of Poems.
The poem addresses the hypocrisy within our hearts in the name of religion. In our pursuit of God, we truly seem to be running away from Him.
Tagore wants the pious ones to go beyond the four walls of their shrines to where god really exists.

Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads!
Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut?
Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee!
He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground
and where the pathmaker is breaking stones.
He is with them in sun and in shower,
and his garment is covered with dust.
Put off thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil!
