Yes, a philosopher or poet can point to a profound, objective, universal, historical, and dialectical truth in a few words. However, this depends on the density of the language used, the layers of meaning it contains, and the audience's capacity to understand it. Below are some key points that address this question:

1. The Intensity of Poetic and Philosophical Language

• Condensed Meaning: Poets and philosophers often infuse their words with profound meaning, enabling them to point to great truths in a limited number of words. For example:Poet: Yunus Emre's line "There is a self within my self" encapsulates the complexity of the human soul, inner depths, and the concept of self in a single sentence. Philosopher: Descartes' "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am) expresses a fundamental truth of human existence and serves as the starting point of his philosophy.

2. Universality and Timelessness

• Universal Truths: Universal truths often transcend time and space, addressing fundamental questions of human existence. Poets and philosophers can articulate these truths using minimalist language.For example, Rumi's "Come, whoever you are" speaks to the universal human desire for acceptance and tolerance. Heraclitus’ “You cannot step into the same river twice” articulates the universal truth of perpetual change in existence.

3. The Dialectical Perspective

• Unity of Opposites: Dialectical thought often revolves around the idea that contradictions and opposites complement and define each other. Poets and philosophers can express this deep concept in just a few words.Friedrich Hegel’s "Reality is the unity of opposites" lays the foundation of dialectical methodology. Poets use this approach through symbolic and metaphorical imagery. For example, Nazım Hikmet’s “To live like a tree, single and free, and like a forest, in brotherhood” reflects the dialectical relationship between individual freedom and collective unity.

4. Historical and Cultural Context

• Historical Depth: Some expressions reflect the historical realities of a particular era while delivering a universal message.Karl Marx’s "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce" encapsulates the cyclical nature of historical processes and humanity’s role in them from a historical and dialectical standpoint. Poets convey the emotional depth of historical events in a few words. For instance, Attilâ İlhan’s “Which poem can alter the heart of a nation?” invites deep reflection on the relationship between literature and history.

5. Succinct and Profound Expression of the Human Condition

• Depth and Minimalism: Fundamental truths about the human condition are often expressed most effectively in the fewest words.Socrates’ "The unexamined life is not worth living" captures the universal pursuit of self-understanding and growth. Poets harmonize this minimalism with poetic aesthetics, creating both philosophical and aesthetic depth. For example, T.S. Eliot’s “Our lives are a story that ends in shadows” questions the transience and meaning of existence.

Conclusion

A philosopher or poet can indeed point to profound, objective, universal, historical, and dialectical truths in a few words. Such expressions rely on the capacity of both philosophy and poetry to convey dense meanings. These words serve as building blocks open to interpretation by the reader or listener while shedding light on universal human experiences. Therefore, both poets and philosophers wield the power of language to offer timeless insights to humanity.

Certainly Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950). He wrote mainly English poetry - epic drama, lyrics - in which we find a perfect union between Spirit and Matter, Heaven and Earth, Universal and Transcendent. "Eternity in Words", as one critic pointed out His mantric poetry. His Magnum Opus is "Savitri", en epic poem in blank verse. But see also "Ilio", "Perseus the Deliverer", "Eric", "Collected Poems".
