SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

Miscellaneous Verses

The Words of the Wise

Serve thou the wise and good, covet their speech

Although to trivial daily things it keeps.

Their casual thoughts are foam from solemn deeps;

Their passing words make Scripture, Science; rich,

Though seeming poor, their common actions teach.
