THOUGHT OF THE DAY

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

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 by thee into
ever-widening thought and action ---
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.

- Rabindranath Tagore
