An appreciation on Savitri- Book Eleven: The Book of Everlasting Day Canto One: The Eternal Day: The Soul's Choice and the Supreme Consummation Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's 'On Savitri listening in her tranquil heart To the harmony of the ensnaring voice A joy exceeding earth's and heaven's poured down, The bliss of an unknown eternity, ' 'A smile came rippling out in her wide eyes, Its confident felicity's messenger As if the first beam of the morning sun Rippled along two wakened lotus-pools.' Astounded! by what blessing, what boons Thou verses are graced heavenly so much? 'As if the first beam of the morning sun Rippled along two wakened lotus-pools.' These words...limitless bliss 'O besetter of man's soul with life and death Line 526 to And the mandate of thy secret world-wide love.'Line 600 O my heart, just listen to her confident and decisive words... 'O besetter of man's soul with life and death' 'Tempting his heart with the far lure of heaven, Testing his strength with the close touch of hell, ' How precisely verbal she sketches the causer..! 'I climb not to thy everlasting Day, Even as I have shunned thy eternal Night. To me who turn not from thy terrestrial Way, Give back the other self my nature asks.' 'Thy spaces need him not to help their joy; Earth needs his beautiful spirit made by thee To fling delight down like a net of gold. Earth is the chosen place of mightiest souls; Earth is the heroic spirit's battlefield, The forge where the Archmason shapes his works.'... ............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
