Setting Fire

I love this quote by the wonderful Bengali poet and visionary, Rabidranath Tagore. I just came across it. For me, the last line seems to be an explanation of my way of life. Perhaps the fire isn't a blazing bonfire, but a regularly kindled flame.

Light, where is the light? Light the fire, if you have desire!
Thunder, rushing wind, nothingness.
Black night, black stone.
Don't let your whole life go by in the dark.
Evidently the only way to find the path is to set fire to my own life.
