Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.
Rabindranath Tagore

Interpretation
The quotation frames love not as an emotion that comes and goes, but as a metaphysical principle—something closer to a spiritual or ontological ground of being. In this reading, “reality” and “truth” are not primarily empirical facts but the deepest coherence of existence: the force that binds persons to one another and creation to its source. The contrast with “mere sentiment” rejects reducing love to private feeling; instead, love becomes an active, world-making power that discloses meaning. The language strongly resembles Tagore’s recurring themes—divine immanence, unity, and the sacredness of relationship—though this exact wording may be a later paraphrase of those ideas.
