Aurobindo 161 Savitri Book 10

An appreciation on Savitri- Book Ten: The Book of the Double Twilight Canto Four: The Dream Twilight of the Earthly Real Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's 'There it is greatness to create the gods. Is not the spirit immortal and absolved Always, delivered from the grasp of Time? Why came it down into the mortal's Space? A charge he gave to his high spirit in man And wrote a hidden decree on Nature's tops.' An obligatory analysis and preaching Needed words for the questers of the Absolute 'Freedom is this with ever seated soul, Large in life's limits, strong in Matter's knots, Building great stuff of action from the worlds To make fine wisdom from coarse, scattered strands And love and beauty out of war and night, The wager wonderful, the game divine.' 'What liberty has the soul which feels not free' 'This is my answer to thy lures, O Death.' 'However mighty, whatever thy secret name Line 462 to Leave then thy dead, O Savitri, and live.' Line 538 'Thy heart's ephemeral passion cannot break The iron rampart of accomplished things With which the great Gods fence their camp in Space. Whoever thou art behind thy human mask, Even if thou art the Mother of the worlds' 'The cosmic Law is greater than thy will.' 'Even God himself obeys the Laws he made: The Law abides and never can it change, The Person is a bubble on Time's sea. A forerunner of a greater Truth to come, A Light above which none but thou hast seen, Thou claimst the first fruits of Truth's victory 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 there so, let Savitri in my self arise Aroused there so be knowledge and fortune
