Welcome to Aspiration - a precious gem from Sri Aurobindo's translations of Sanskrit poems:
"It is not armlets that adorn a man, nor necklaces all cramped with moon bright pearls, nor baths, nor ointments, nor arranged curls. 'Tis art of excellent speech that only adorn him: Jewels perish, garlands fade, this only abides and glittery undecayed ."
Bhartrihari (Nitishatakam, 19). Translated by Sri Aurobindo
