Question

why does the port compare reason with stream​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In short, the poet wishes that logic rules and wins over old habits. In the poem Where the Mind is Without Fear, the poet compares 'reason' to a clear stream and 'dead habits' to a dry desert. That is why reason is compared to a clear stream that can wash out any stagnant object on its way.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Poet sees that—our “reason” is never truly objective, (or it is truly difficult to be objective) our thoughts are like the stream, we see things and think things based on our loves, hates, pain, experience, our education, our grasp of the whatever, our failures and our success.
