The ‘Heaven of freedom’ which the poet refers to in this poem, is the heaven he visualizes his country as, after it attains freedom. a country united under one banner not broken up into smaller sections by prejudices and superstitions that were prevalent at that time. He visualizes the a country which is not divided by cast, creed, gender, religion or language, a country which is not suppressed and everyone has the right to voice their opinion, he visualizes a Utopian world where he and his countrymen could experience the true meaning of freedom. He prays for a country where free education is imparted to everyone, and not just those who could afford it. This ‘Heaven’ would have an education system which wouldn’t curtail free thinking and only encourage learning which included learning texts.

The famous poem “Where the Mind is Without Fear” written by Rabindranath Tagore.
Answer:
In this poem, according to the poet, our mind should have no fear. We should not get trapped in the narrow domestic walls of caste, creed, religion, colour and superstitions. Within these walls we will never become broad-minded and progress in life. There should not be any restriction in our mind based on wealth, caste, class, gender, religion, etc. There should not be any mindless practicing of obsolete customs and traditions, old beliefs, superstitions and a narrow-minded attitudes. This habit corrodes the mind and renders it useless. A mind without any reason and rationality is stagnated and unable to achieve its goal. On the other hand, a mind that thinks clearly will be able to achieve its goals.
This is the whole description of mind according to the poet.
