Aurobindo 50 Savitri Book 2
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book Two: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds
Canto Ten: The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Little Mind
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
'Earth all perceives through doubtful images,
All she conceives in hazardous jets of sight,
Small lights kindled by touches of groping thought.'
'She knew by a privilege of thinking force
And claimed an infant sovereignty of sight.'
'In her own realm she stumbles not nor fails,
But moves in boundaries of subtle power
Across which mind can step towards the sun.'
'A technician admirable, a thinker crude,
A riveter of Life to habit's grooves,
Obedient to gross Matter's tyranny,
A prisoner of the moulds in which it works,
It binds itself by what itself creates.'
'A measured Greatness keeps its vaster plan,
A fathomless sameness rhythms the tread of life; '
A natural serf blind for nature's revelation
'In Nothingness born to Nothingness returned,
Yet all the time unwittingly it drove
Towards the hidden Something that is All.'
'To err its inborn trend, its native cue.'
'In darkness it discovered luminous shapes; '
'It squandered life's force to achieve the impossible: '
A snail-race erring to shrink in off and on..
So 'It saw unrealised aims as instant fate'
'Attempt, not victory, was the charm of life.'
'It probed the void and found a treasure there.'
'An imperfect light leading an erring mass
By the power of sense and the idea and word,
She ferrets out Nature's process, substance, cause.'
So a perfect ligt, a truthful mass is needed the most..
............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 thereso, let Savitri in my self arise
Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune
