Some say 2012 is the end of the world, while others believe that it would herald an era of spiritual awakening. Me? I would like to believe in the latter and if there is one wish which I would truly want to come true, it would be EVERY line of Tagore’s poem!
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.
