The whole sentence can be understood as, let a person perfect day by day, not by blunt education and strong defense, but by long-term subtle influence of good science education. This sentence can be used as a metaphor for the method of educating children, and it can also be used to explain the external environment for a person to become a talent.

In Tagore's view, there is a close relationship between man and nature. Not only is nature integrated into human emotions, but human emotions are also integrated into nature. So Tagore is willing to describe every flower and bird in order to purify his life and gain infinite courage.

In essence, Tagore did not simply describe nature, but integrated nature with human beings, giving human beings the greatest freedom while describing nature. In Tagore's works, birds are the freedom of human beings to pursue their ideals, and the wings of birds in the twilight symbolize the great power of human love.

From the "view of nature" in Tagore's Birds, we can find the poet's profound spiritual pursuit. He regards love and harmony as the gods of the universe, describes the beautiful scene of the integration of all things in nature, and pursues the life concept of freedom, fraternity and equality.
