Where the Mind is Without Fear by Rabindra Nath Tagore



The poet wishes to be awakened to a heaven where the mind can work fearlessly and the spirit can hold its head high,where one can acquire knowledge in all freedom of choice,where the big world of man is not fragmented on the bases of cast and creed,where everybody speaks his/her heart clear, where actions can achieve success,where the conventions are not judged and God himself leads us in all acts,all thoughts and all sources of delight. So we need a strong motivation by God to be elevated to that heaven.
