Where the mind is without fear (Gitanjali -35) – Rabindranath Tagore

Where The Mind Is Without Fear

Rabindranath Tagore

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 depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms
towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost
its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let
my country awake
