Written by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), an Indian poet, writer, educator and environmentalist. This is an excerpt from the book “The Heart of God.”
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 toward perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of habit;
Where the mind is led forward by You into ever widening thought and action—
Into that haven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. [2 Corinthians 3:17]
