In this poem, Pablo Neruda has emphasised the importance of introspection. Man has become very selfish and his own action cause him many miseries. The world today stands divided by the man made boundries of caste, creed, race, religion, language, culture, nationality and geographical division.We need to rise above these small issues and lock at the larger picture. The poet talks about the necessity of cresting a feeling of mutual understanding among human beings and discusses the need of maintaining peace.
