Aurobindo 110 Savitri Book 7

An appreciation on Savitri- Book Seven: The Book of Yoga Canto Five: The Finding of the Soul Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's 'There was no step of breathing men, no sound, Only the living nearness of the soul.' 'Yet all the worlds and God himself were there, For every symbol was a reality And brought the presence which had given it life. All this she saw and inly felt and knew Not by some thought of mind but by the self.' The feeling on inner wakefulness, shall I say..? 'As thus she passed in that mysterious place Through room and room, through door and rock-hewn door, She felt herself made one with all she saw.' A sealed identity within her woke; 'These Gods and Goddesses were he and she: The Mother was she of Beauty and Delight, The Word in Brahma's vast creating clasp, The World-Puissance on almighty Shiva's lap, - 'The Master and the Mother of all lives' 'Watching the worlds their twin regard had made, And Krishna and Radha for ever entwined in bliss, The Adorer and Adored self-lost and one.' Meaningful accounting for the god and goddess.. 'In the last chamber on a golden seat One sat whose shape no vision could define; Only one felt the world's unattainable fount, ' 'A Power of which she was a straying Force, An invisible Beauty, goal of the world's desire, A Sun of which all knowledge is a beam, A Greatness without whom no life could be.' 'Then through a tunnel dug in the last rock She came out where there shone a deathless sun.'.. ............My consciousness this moment, O'Guru, I'm in awe....in invincible heights Ineffable Thee embellishing poetic creation My inquisitive apprehension, erring Thee may opine May thereso, let Savitri in my self arise Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune
