I believe both of them are not only the great minds but also with great insight and spiritual connections. I didn't understand much of the above conversations but was very much touched by reading Tagore's 'Gitanjali', and I just finished reading some of his short stories. I somehow felt that nepali translations of 'Gitanjali' had much deeper meaning than the english one and I think nepali one was much better. I've not read any of Einstein's books except some quotations. But I've heard his thoughts regarding nations, education were much beyond what people could accept even at that time or now. He didn't believe in national boundaries and I was told that the present shape of EU was very much inspired from him.
