Aurobindo 65 Savitri Book 3

Aurobindo 65 Savitri Book 3 - Poem by Indira Renganathan An appreciation on Savitri- Book 3-The Book of the Divine Mother Canto Four: The Vision and the Boon Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's 'Then suddenly there rose a sacred stir.' 'A touch perturbed his fibres with delight.' 'An Influence had approached the mortal range, A boundless Heart was near his longing heart, A mystic Form enveloped his earthly shape. All at her contact broke from silence' seal; Spirit and body thrilled identified, ' 'Mind, members, life were merged in ecstasy.' 'The One he worshipped was within him now: ' Flame-pure, ethereal-tressed, a mighty Face Appeared and lips moved by immortal words; 'Lids, Wisdom's leaves, drooped over rapture's orbs. A marble monument of ponderings, shone A forehead, sight's crypt, and large like ocean's gaze Towards Heaven, two tranquil eyes of boundless thought Looked into man's and saw the god to come.' 'A Shape was seen on threshold Mind, a Voice Absolute and wise in the heart's chambers spoke: 'O Son of Strength who climbst creation's peaks, No soul is thy companion in the light; Alone thou standest at the eternal doors. What thou hast won is thine, but ask no more. O Spirit aspiring in an ignorant frame, O Voice arisen from the Inconscient's world, '.. 'How shalt thou speak for men whose hearts are dumb, Make purblind earth the soul's seer-vision's home Or lighten the burden of the senseless globe? I am the Mystery beyond reach of mind, I am the goal of the travail of the suns; My fire and sweetness are the cause of life.'... ............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 4 Page 334 Amid the lifeless silence of the Void In a solitude and an immensity A sound came quivering like a loved footfall Heard in the listening spaces of the soul; Intoxicated as with nectarous rain His nature's passioning stretches flowed to her, Flashing with lightnings, mad with luminous wine. All was a limitless sea that heaved to the moon.
