This poem describes a vision of an ideal country where the mind is free from fear, knowledge is freely shared, and people are united rather than divided. It envisions a place where words reflect deep truths, constant self-improvement is valued, rational thinking is not hindered by dead habits, and the mind is led to think and act in increasingly broad and liberating ways. The poet hopes his country will awaken and achieve this heaven of freedom.

1. Mind Without Fear GITANJALI RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S POEM Powered by: Ali Hadi

2. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

3. Where knowledge is free;

4. Where the world has not been broken up

5. into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

6. Where words come out from the depth of truth;

7. Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

8. Where the clear stream of reason

9. has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

10. Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---

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