Where the mind is without Fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls;
Where words come out from the
death of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its
arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreay
desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by
thee into every - widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.
- Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore
Geethanjali
