Ever Widening Thought and Action

Sunrise, Wikipedia 

This poem by Tagore captivates my heart and refreshes my being every now and then. I might have published this already twice in this blog, and yet again a refresh. You will surely enjoy this poem.

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.

Tribute to Tagore for such an enlightening work. Thanks to wikipedia for the 'sunrise' image.
