Tagore was his most influential Indian mentor. Tagore's poetry and prose resonated with him. He appreciated Tagore's emphasis on aesthetics as well as his appeal to intuition. From 1914 on, both of these notions - aesthetics and intuition - begin to find their place in his own interpretations of experience, the epistemological category for his philosophical and religious proclivities...he would repeatedly appeal to Tagore's writing to support his own philosophical ideals. (Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan)
