Bhartrhari<br />

<strong>350</strong> <strong>BC</strong> – <strong>AD</strong><strong>600</strong><br />

• 5c <strong>India</strong> court poet <strong>and</strong> philosopher.<br />

•Knowledge is man's<br />

crowning mark,<br />

A treasure secretly buried,<br />

The source <strong>of</strong> luxury, fame,<br />

<strong>and</strong> bliss,<br />

A guru most venerable,<br />

A friend on foreign<br />

journeys,<br />

The pinnacle <strong>of</strong> divinity.<br />

Knowledge is valued by kings<br />

beyond wealth---<br />

When he lacks it, a man is a<br />

brute.<br />

What does this poem suggest about<br />

the importance <strong>of</strong> knowledge? How<br />

does Mr. Schenk feel about<br />

knowledge?
