Rabindranath Tagore - Where the Mind is Without Fear

‪The only thing I remember from School:‬

‪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.

- #RabindranathTagore
