Tagore addresses God as " my father" and asks him to awaken his country into a heaven of freedom, where there is a total freedom of good thoughts, good words and good actions.
He wishes for a country where people should be free from fear, where knowledge would be free to all individuals and people from all castes and religions should be United.
