mind all logic is like knife explanation
Answers
What's the point of this quote by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore?
A mind all logic is like knife all blade. It bleeds the hand that uses it.
I had to read the quote once, twice and thrice and then was I able to graph out the meaning of syllables. This is what a quote should be, no cheesy dialogue no extensive use of verbs, just plain simple “logic”
Let's work on the quote, quote is quite confusing at first, I'm not driven by impulse which made me sit down and look at it with ease, otherwise It could have been pronounced grammatically incorrect by an intellectual.
Let's now break the quote into three parts.
First:- A mind all logic.
A mind which is fully governed by logic, without any fundamental knowledge about the topic on which decision is made.
Second:- Is like a knife all blade.
What is more useful blade of knife or its handle? Both equally. The writer (used for sake of writing the answer) Is now drawing a connection between the two phrases linked by the conjuction “is”. A parallel has been drawn which suggests logic could only be so much important that it can't overrule the need of having knowledge aboit the think.
Third:- Makes the hand that uses it bleed.
No platonic explanation needed here, it's quite simple and easy to understand if you have understood what was said before. Now both the sentences earlier are compared to an reaction.
What would you expect squeezing the blade of knife with your hand? Blood! While for the other sentence we can assume blood to be symbolic to “pain”.
I must admit this is one of the best piece of phrases I have ever seen, make no independent sense, but culmilatively mean the world.

Mind all logic is like a knife .
Mind is like a closet and mind set of an individual is controlled and can only be interfered with when one is involved in drug abuse and other rouge activitiies
Mind all logic is like a knife
When mind is sharp just as knife when sharpened it reasons and acts faster and clear.
While when mind is blunt and not sharpened then it can altogether fail to function and not to reason.
