Tagore on God

On the occasion of the 148th birthday of Rabindranath Tagore - the first Hindu Nobel Laureate, here're some of his thoughts on god and religion taken from his various works. Tagore's mystical poetry, music and art continue to inspire us:

"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."
