Where The Mind Is Without Fear- Rabindra Nath Tagore

“Where The Mind Is Without Fear” is a thought-provoking poem by Nobelist Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian writer. Rabindranath Tagore, also known as Gurudev, was a Bengali polymath who made great contribution to Indian literature, music, as well as art. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. It is one the best poems in “Gitanjali”

This poem is written in the form of prayer to God, the true bearer of freedom. He urges God throughout the poem with his mysterious concept of freedom from the struggle for awakening to his countrymen.

“Where The Mind Is Without Fear” is a pre-independent poem in which the poet sincerely urges to God to awake his fellow people for the realisation that the essential need to live in a free and united country. He wants his countrymen to awake and enjoy the life of full dignity and honour.

His countrymen would not be superstitious or believers of blind faith rather than they would lead the life of enlightened and educated.

He wishes to the people, to be honest, open-minded and industrious. Then only they would stretch their ‘arms towards perfection’ and the nation can actually achieve the apex of success.

They need to use their reasons over their blind faiths and must be ready to accept new thoughts and ideas. He requests God to free his country from manipulation, corruption, and slavery. He yearns for an awakened country where there would be freedom of the mind and expression of ideas.

The poem conjure the deep patriotic feelings. Our country is enslave by castes, creed, superstitious beliefs and biased ideas. Tagore earnestly appeals to God that a country would be where people’s ‘head is high’ and ‘knowledge is free’.

His country would not be divided and fragmented into pieces due to their narrow thoughts. They should express their words not from the mind but from ‘the depth of truth’ and heart.

He urges God to guide his countrymen for moral awakening to fight for their rights against British inhuman rules. Liberate them from the fear of oppression, repression, and subjugation. Unshackle the chains of fear and direct them to the paths of progress and prosperity.

They should be confident not confined. There would not be any differences in the country on the basis of caste, creed, and gender.

Countrymen should be unbiased and receptive, accepting the new challenges and changes. They should lead their lives of decency and dignity.

Therefore, this poem is remarkable to a great extent which expresses the intensity of the feeling of freedom. His poem is universal in its appeal and envisions the ‘heaven of freedom’ and happier future for mankind.

Thankyou 😊

* निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' * -🖋 देवांश

|| निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' || बीतेगा ये पल भी, तू निराश तो नहीं, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं'। माना हालत थोड़ी नासाज़ है, सहमा हुआ हर इंसान है, पर जज़्बा जिंदा रहने का तू खोना नहीं, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं'। माना कि दिल रोया है, जब किसी ने किसी अपने को खोया है। दिल से टूटा जरूर है, पर हिम्मत तू छोड़ना नहीं, विश्वास रख, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं'। 🖋 देवांश

NEVER GIVE UP ✌

"लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती" लहरों से डरकर नौका पार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है, चढ़ती दीवारों पर सौ सौ बार फिसलती है। मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है, चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना नहीं अखरता है। आखिर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाते हैं, जा जा कर गहरे पानी में खाली लौट आते हैं। मिलते ना मोती सहज ही गहरे पानी में, बढ़ता दूना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में। मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती। असफलता एक चुनौती है स्वीकार करो, कहां कमी रह गई देखो और सुधार करो। जब तक सफल न हो नींद चैन की त्यागो तुम, संघर्षो का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम। किए कुछ बिना जय जयकार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती 🖋 सोहनलाल द्विवेदी Thankyou 😊 #happyreading
