Aurobindo 177 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 'I have felt a secret spirit stir in things Carrying the body of the growing God: It looks through veiling forms at veilless truth; It pushes back the curtain of the gods; It climbs towards its own eternity.' 'But the god answered to the woman's heart: 'O living power of the incarnate Word, Line 802 to Choose destiny's curve and stamp thy will on Time.'Line858 'In the impetuous drive of thy heart of flame, In thy passion to deliver man and earth, Indignant at the impediments of Time And the slow evolution's sluggard steps, Lead not the spirit in an ignorant world To dare too soon the adventure of the Light, Pushing the bound and slumbering god in man Awakened mid the ineffable silences' 'But if thou wilt not wait for Time and God, Do then thy work and force thy will on Fate.' Savitri was patient enough to pass in her venture 'As I have taken from thee my load of night And taken from thee my twilight's doubts and dreams, So now I take my light of utter Day.' 'These are my symbol kingdoms but not here' Savitri has to up further for her goal... 'Can the great choice be made that fixes fate Or uttered the sanction of the Voice supreme. Arise upon a ladder of greater worlds To the infinity where no world can be.' Can there be any His touch without world? Hurry up high o'Savitri if you say yes.... ............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 ============================================ Note; Some more inspiring descriptive and informative lines from Book 11 Canto 1 Page 694 All that the Spirit has dreamed thou canst create: Thou art the force by which I made the worlds, Thou art my vision and my will and voice. But knowledge too is thine, the world-plan thou knowest And the tardy process of the pace of Time.
