A poem from Gitanjali by Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore
Brought to you by www.HinduTempleHouston.Net
The child who is decked with prince's robes and who has jewelled chains round his neck loses all pleasure in his play; his dress hampers him at every step.
In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust he keeps himself from the world, and is afraid even to move.
Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keeps one shut off from the healthful dust of the
earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life.
