SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Firmness

Work and Idleness

Their bitterest enemy in their bodies pent

Men cherish, idleness. Be in thy breast

The tireless gust of work thy mighty guest,

Man’s ceaseless helper, whose great aid once lent

Thy strength shall fail not, nor thy head be bent.
