WHERE THE MIND IS
WITHOUT FEAR
-- Rabindranath Tagore
Tagore’s poem “Where the Mind is without Fear” is an extract
from his collections of songs, “Gitanjali.” The poem is in the form of a
prayer. Tagore prays to God to transform the world into an ideal heaven of
freedom. Tagore describes his ideal
world in the following words.
In his world, people think without fear and live with their
heads held high. Knowledge is never
confined to a few. It is made accessible to all. It is an undivided world without any narrow
domestic walls. People speak truth from the depths of their hearts. Their words
carry nothing but truth. They strive
untiringly towards perfection. Their reason never flows into superstition. They
overcome narrow mindedness by ever widening thought and action.
