Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls;
— Rabindranath Tagore
Meaning

It describes a place or state where the world remains undivided and whole, not fragmented into pieces by restrictive, internal boundaries or divisions.

Explanation

Imagine a world where people aren't separated by walls. Not just physical walls, but the invisible ones we create through prejudice, discrimination, or differences in opinion. This couplet dreams of a place where humanity isn't fragmented by narrow-mindedness, where everyone sees themselves as part of a larger, interconnected community. It's an invitation to break down those artificial barriers and embrace a more unified, open-hearted way of living, where compassion and understanding bind us together, rather than divisions pulling us apart.
