spiritual experience (some call it "Transcendental") involving unification with nature and God, he dedicated his life to the pursuit of sharing that same happiness with others.  Central to his belief system is his knowledge about everything containing at least some divinity within.  It is this knowledge (stemming from his visions and experiences) that led to a huge burst of creativity that lasted decades, when he produced all of his literature.

In conclusion, I want to end with one of my very favorite quotes by Rabindranath Tagore:

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.

In my opinion, this sums up the spiritual didacticism tone of Rabindranath Tagore and his works as a whole.  Rabindranath Tagore is teaching us about spirituality and about God's kingdom ... or at least the one "of this world."

Tagore was renowned for his spiritual and magical poetry. Seen as a prophet, Tagore's works functioned as lessons for one to follow in order to move people to wish to make their lives better.

Tagore's poetry, filled with beautiful language and mesmerising verse, was meant to transform the reader to a higher place- in the mind. This being said, the tone of his poetry was reflective, spiritual, and acceptance of ones desire to better them self.

Reflectively, Tagore's texts supplied readers with cultural ideals and political ideology which Tagore fully described. It was through this that Tagore was able to speak to the masses given his works were more than utterings on religion and politics.

Tagore wished to changes the world by offering his own understanding of the things around him. The tone of his writings matched this; he wanted nothing more than to offer people the ability to change their lives. Tagore's writings offered a new view of how one should live their life; something typical of those deemed a prophet.

“Freedom” by Rabindranath Tagore is a seventeen-line poem in free verse with no regular rhythm or rhyme schemes. The poem is not split into stanzas and is somewhat enjambed, with sentences spanning poetic lines, making the poem read very much like prose.

That said, however, the poet uses some interesting poetic devices to enhance the poem's style. For one thing, alliteration (the repetition of initial sounds) stands out prominently throughout the poem. Notice, for instance, the third and fourth lines and the continual repetition of “b” in “burden,” “bending,” “breaking,” “back,” “blinding,” and “beckoning.” Alliteration also appears with “s” and “w” in later lines.

Also notice the poet's effective use of repetition. The word “freedom” is used six times, and a negative definition of “freedom” (i.e., what freedom is not) follows five of these uses. The poet repeats in order to expand on what freedom truly means for his country. It is a freedom from the “burden of the ages,” from the “shackles of slumber,” from the “anarchy of destiny,” and from the “insult of dwelling in a puppet's world.”

The poet further develops his theme of freedom through metaphors like the ones listed above. A burden of the past lies on the speaker's country. The people are bound in a sleep that does not allow them to follow their true paths. Destiny leads them to anarchy as the people yield their sails to the “blind uncertain winds.” The people dwell in a “puppet's world,” following brainlessly what others tell them to do in a mere “mimicry of life.” These metaphors are extremely vivid, and they capture the essence of a lack of freedom, the habits and oppression that people must shake off to achieve true freedom.

Finally, the poet uses apostrophe in this poem, speaking directly to his motherland, and indirectly to the people who make up his motherland. At first, he uses the pronoun “you” frequently, but that pronoun disappears as the poem continues, indicating that poet may be speaking to a broader audience as he encourages people to reflect on what may be holding them back from freedom.

In "Freedom," Rabindranath Tagore expresses his hopes for the future of his country. These hopes are very much at odds with India's past, since the poet claims freedom and independence for a country that has been conquered for many centuries, most recently by the British and by the Mughals before them.

The poem is addressed directly to India, the poet's "motherland." Tagore is angry when he recalls how deeply India has suffered in the past, laden down by "the burden of the ages" and therefore unable to concentrate on the future and on the greatness she might achieve. He wants his country to develop agency and purpose, freedom "from the insult of dwelling in a puppet's world."

For these reasons, the tone of the poem is primarily patriotic. Tagore shows love for his country and frustration that it has been held back for so long by hostile powers. This frustration means the tone is also indignant and somewhat bitter when the poet is alluding to the past. By contrast, thoughts of the future elicit a more hopeful and optimistic note. There is, therefore, some complexity in the tone of the poem, but the dominant note remains one of patriotic pride and determination for India to be a great nation.
