The First stanza starts mentioning the grace of best to a human being. Tagore considers the human body as a frail vessel, God intermittently repairs it's damaged and fills up it with fresh life. God is all master of Human being, takes care of his subjects and solves all of their problems. In that way, man is made endless withe the pleasure from God.
The second stanza says God is a great flute player or a musician and the poet is considered to a flute. The breath paid through the flute comes as a melody and it is eternally new, it lasts forever. Tagore might have considered the poet as a flute and the poem comes out of his mouth as an eternal melody which is new forever. Poet reaches in unspeakable about the characteristic of best. Every touch from God touches a poet‘s heart, fills his heart with overjoy and makes him in a state of pleasure extreme to be expressed. Tagore says God‘s infinite gifts comes only to him, to his litle hands. God will save me, protect me, bless me. I will be the same person even when the ages pass. My special room is my heart to store all your blessings. God continues to pour his blessings to rooms of his hearts but still there is room to fill. God is omnipotent and omnipresent.
The beginning lines express the poet‘s admiration for God. Tagore tells God is with the poorest and the lowliest and the lost people. Poet asks where are you, what is your role, now I‘m going to offer my life and bend down on your footstool. Poet is living among the common people where he can see God. Here, the poet may be trying to explain that we can find God through the poorest, lowliest and the lost people. God won‘t leave them but definitely will help. Like a king rest his feet on a footstool, here poets tell God‘s footstool is the poor men themselves, He rests his feet among them.
