Aurobindo 61 Savitri Book 3

An appreciation on Savitri- Book 3-The Book of the Divine Mother Canto III: The House of the Spirit and the New Creation Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's 'A mightier task remained than all he had done.' 'To That he turned from which all being comes, A sign attending from the Secrecy Which knows the Truth ungrasped behind our thoughts And guards the world with its all-seeing gaze.' 'Patient he sat like an incarnate hope' Motionless on a pedestal of prayer.' 'A neutral helpless void oppressed the years.' 'A veiled collaboration with the Night Even in himself survived and hid from his view: Still something in his earthly being kept Its kinship with the Inconscient whence it came.' 'A shadowy unity with a vanished past' 'Still murmured at the mind's and spirit's choice.' 'Its treacherous elements spread like slippery grains Hoping the incoming Truth might stumble and fall, ' 'A last and mightiest transformation came.' 'His being, spread to embrace the universe, United the within and the without To make of life a cosmic harmony, An empire of the immanent Divine.' 'He felt the joy of others as his joy, He bore the grief of others as his grief; ' All lumped into the bliss of the soul... 'His universal sympathy upbore, Immense like ocean, the creation's load As earth upbears all beings' sacrifice, Thrilled with the hidden Transcendent's joy and peace.' 'One grew the Spirit's secret unity, All Nature felt again the single bliss.'.... ............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 3 Canto 3 Page 317 But from the appalling heights there stooped no voice; The timeless lids were closed; no opening came. A neutral helpless void oppressed the years. Page 318 His soul was all in front like a great sea Flooding the mind and body with its waves; Page 319 There was no cleavage between soul and soul, There was no barrier between world and God.
