This poem reveals to us the worth and value of wisdom.
EPIGRAM
If thou wouldst traverse Time with vagrant feet
Nor make the poles thy limit fill not then
Thy wallet with the fancy’s cloying sweet
Which is no stay to heaven-aspiring men,
But follow wisdom since alone the wise
Can walk through fire with unblinking eyes.
(Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems, p. 189)
