Rabidranath Tagore treated freedom not merely as political liberation but the intermixing of the individual with the world through his song : My freedom is in the air, in the sky in the light of the universe. It was the condition and attitude of life which creates the environment to develop his best.

For him the rising sun, the chirping of birds and the whistling of wind through the trees is nature revealing herself in its true colour. In the vastness of nature we are not unknown strangers but we are her children her kith and kin. It satisfies our personality with manifestations that make our life rich and stimulates our imagination in the harmony of forms colours sounds and movement. Communion as a higher mode of relationship between man and nature is characterized by inwardness and depth. The depth has an educational purpose.
