Tagore 's health was breaking down ; the mental strain had proved too great , not only the strain of work and engagements but deeper strain of the dilemma within him , the perpetual struggle between the poet and the patriot , or between the poet and the prophet . रवीन्द्रनाथ का स्वास्थ्य उनका साथ नहीं दे रहा था.मानसिक तनाव का भी इसमें भारी हाथ था.केवल कार्याधिक्य या व्यस्तताओं के दबाव के नाते ही नहीं बल्कि आंतरिक द्वंद्व का भी कहीं गहरा प्रभाव था- और वह था कवि और देशभक्त केबीच का शाश्वत संघर्ष .
