I was reading some good stuff online when suddenly my eyes stopped on something, and that was the poem written by the world famous Ravindra Nath Tagore, who also wrote our National Anthem as well. Following are the few lines from his poem, which I would want you to read and understand:
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.
Done with it..? Perfect! Let me walk through you the other side of the poem which has a message for everyone.
It has been said that people’s greatest enemy is Fear. Millions of people are afraid of the past, the future, old age, insanity, and Death. It’s behind failures.. behind sickness.. Fear is in your mind. Infact it’s a just a thought in your mind which means you are afraid of your own thoughts.. Sounds odd, but it’s true. fear is just a mere thought until you vanish it or overlap it with something more powerful. So if it’s just a thought, then why can’t we let it go? Let it go off!
Once you let it go, it will overcome. When you affirm positivity that you are going to master your fears, you come to a definite decision in your mind, and you will feel that the so called fear has gone, that fear which wasn’t letting you do anything.. has gone.. has been vanished.
Once this fear is gone, you are FREE. You can do whatever you want to do. You can achieve whatever you want to achieve. Because you are FREE. Your mind is FREE. And then the moment comes when you actually are free to taste what freedom is!
