This place is not for those who are becoming wealthy or wise. It is addressed to the proud eagle-hawk, the predator and king of birds.

This couplet addresses the proud, powerful eagle or falcon, calling it the 'king of birds' and a 'devourer'. However, it gently suggests that the path to becoming truly wealthy and wise is not its domain. It implies that for those consumed by arrogance and a predatory nature, real wisdom and inner wealth cannot flourish. True understanding and prosperity grow in humility and self-awareness, not in a mindset focused solely on power, pride, or consumption. It serves as a reminder that ego can often hinder our journey towards deeper knowledge and genuine richness.
