-Sri+Aurobindo+Higher+Purpose

This poems higher purpose is to show people that there is a lot of pain in the world, and that being depressed, is like sharing the worlds pain. What it means by this is that people with depression are usually sad all the time, this sadness isn't always their own, but sometimes they are sad because the weight of the world is on their back, they feel the pain of others and this is what the poem shows really well. A line in the poem that says: He who saves the world, shares its pain, this shows that we need to suffer to gain things that are important to us.
