In the mood for Independence,
and freedom from Bonds and Bondage ...
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
into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of Freedom,
my Father, let my country awake !
- An 'offering' from Rabindranath Tagore's Geetanjali : more relevant today, than ever before!
