Freedom....

Heaven of Freedom
-by Rabindranath Tagore

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 to ever-widening thought and action
- Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake...

With wishes for a genuine flood of freedom, joy and love to engulf each of our lives internally and thus externally....

Happy Independence Day...
