A Tree
A tree beside the sandy river-beach
Holds up its topmost boughs
Like fingers towards the skies they cannot reach,
Earth-bound, heaven amorous.
This is the soul of man. Body and brain
Hungry for earth our heavenly flight detain.
This is one of Sri Aurobindo's early poems. It is only six lines long, with two
stanzas. The first is a quatrain, with the rhyme scheme abab, foilowed by a coupiet.
Though deceptively simple. I believe that this poem contains the quintessence of Sri
Aurobindo's philosophy. What does thc poem say? It says that a tree, beside a sandy
bank, stretches its branches heaven-wards. It is "Earth-bound, heaven-amoreus" that
is though it is fixed to the ground, with its roots in the soil, it aciualiy rcaches
upwards, towards the skies. The coupler drives home the significance of the image:
the human soul is just like this tree. Our body and brain are so grounded, so earthy,
that they de:ain our heavenly flight. Notice the slight difference in the manner in
which the tree and ihe human being are portrayed, While the tree is seen in positive
rems, in terms of its aspiration, the human being is seen somewhat negatively, his
body and brain detaining his upward rise. Unlike the tree, the human being is almost
being blamed for this urge to remain bound and limited. I said earlier that this poem
contains the seed of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. Can you guess what it might be'?
Sri Aurobindo sees us as divided beings, one part of us happy with our present
attainments, another thirsting for higher things.
