Mind Without FearWhere 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.
….. Ravindranath Tagore
This is also my vision for the my world.
Unknowingly I held this as my Vision from age 8 or 9. The whole journey of my life seems like driven by this vision. I seem to be following the path which will one day lead me into this heaven of freedom that Gurudev is envisioned.
My father – Baba – introduced me to this vision. He nourished and nurtured my freedom. And my mother – Aai was a living example of freedom. My Guru Rishi Prabhakarji led me on the path of freedom I will be writing more about them in my posts.
Oh lord lead me into this heaven.
