gitanjali,verse 35, rabindra nath tagore

this is an amazing(part of a) poem for which gurudev was awarded the noble prize, have always felt this is amongst the best i have read:

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.
