Tendency of the mind by Rabindrath Tagore

May 31
Nationalism by Rabindrath Tagore
The tendency of mind is economical: it loves to form habits and move in grooves which save it the trouble of thinking anew at each step of its steps.
Ideals once formed makes mind lazy. It becomes afraid to risk its acquisitions in fresh endeavours.
It tries to enjoy complete security by shutting up its belongings behind fortifications of habits.
But that is really shutting oneself up from the fullest enjoyment of one's own possessions.
It is miserliness.
The living ideals must not lose their touch with the growing and changing life.
Their real freedom is not within the boundaries of security, but on the high road of adventures, full of the risk of new experiences.

Soul
Need to break from my shell of security.
