Where the clear stream of reason has not..... Tagore's poetry
2007/12/10,22:25

Rabindranath Tagore, known for his thinking and a new way of education touched several hearts by his timeless work. This poetry, that I post for the second time in this blog has been a nourisher for me whenever needed. The highlighted lines are my favorite. Tribute to 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 lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action

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