Rabindranath gave the highest value to human humanity. His whole life's devotion was the pursuit of humanity. Rabindranath enriched his creations with a combination of human interests, religious values, laughter and tears, happiness and sadness. Human worship and human achievement are presented in different dimensions in his literature. The manifestation of the infinite within the limits, the development of the human nature that goes beyond its boundaries to reveal another world, Rabindranath wrote it in poems and essays. A universal human ideal is formed out of countless human ideals. In his essay 'Religion of Man', Rabindranath opined about the universal nature of man in this way - 'Man is transcending individual boundaries and becoming a great man as he progresses. All his best pursuits are the pursuits of great men. 





Rabindranath Tagore has highlighted two aspects of man. The first side is the human side - where people think only of themselves and seek their own interests. On the other hand, the other side is the side where people leave their personal interests and want to live in a bigger life than their personal life. And where self-interest drives us, its main motivation is found in all living things - nature. But man as mortal understands that which leads us to sacrifice and austerity, is humanity or the true religion of man.

According to Rabindranath Tagore, there lives within us someone who is human but who transcends the individual human. And He is the Eternal Universal Man. His attraction is the emergence of universality in people's thoughts, feelings and actions. Rabindranath Tagore broke our geographical boundaries and liberalized our minds with his great sense of humanity. Rabinath Tagore placed humanism in the seat of divinity. And that is why he says - our inner soul is worshiped by people under different names.

 Humanism has a very important role in shaping the right character of man. For example- 

• Humanism reveals the real truth of man.

• True humanism destroys human pride and leads people to the path of world humanity.

• Humanism is the ideal religion of man. According to Rabindranath Tagore, humanism should be the main religion of man.

• Humanism is the idea that uplifts the spiritual side of man. 

• At present humanism is the only way to overcome the limited human capacity to reach the infinite capacity. Therefore it is possible to reach that infinite power only through humanity.
