Aurobindo 174 Savitri Book 11

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 Appeasing, there was Savitri to plead for us So that we are left with a hope even today 'Let not the inconscient gulf swallow man's race That through earth's ignorance struggles towards thy Light. O Thunderer with the lightnings of the soul, Give not to darkness and to death thy sun, Achieve thy wisdom's hidden firm decree And the mandate of thy secret world-wide love.' Oh look, how she was put under test more and more The godhead didn't seem to end... 'How shall earth-nature and man's nature rise Line609 to O miracle, where thou beganst, there cease! 'Line 755 Heaven and earth towards each other gaze Across a gulf that few can cross, none touch, Arriving through a vague ethereal mist Out of which all things form that move in space, ' 'The shore that all can see but never reach. Heaven's light visits sometimes the mind of earth; Its thoughts burn in her sky like lonely stars; In her heart there move celestial seekings soft And beautiful like fluttering wings of birds, Visions of joy that she can never win Traverse the fading mirror of her dreams.' Where to seek for Heaven? in these words here 'Above her little finite steps she feels, Careless of knot or pause, worlds which weave out A strange perfection beyond law and rule, A universe of self-found felicity, ' 'Order of the freedom of the infinite, The wonder-plastics of the Absolute.'..... ............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
