Aurobindo 76 Savitri Book 4
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book Four: The Book of Birth and Quest
Canto Two: The Growth of the Flame
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
'She held their hands, she chose for them their paths: '
'They lived in her, they saw the world with her eyes.'
'Some turned to her against their nature's bent; '
'Some drawn unwillingly by her divine sway
Endured it like a sweet but alien spell; '
'But mid this world, these hearts that answered her call,
None could stand up her equal and her mate.'
For she was the goddess unbeatable...
'Her greater self lived sole, unclaimed, within.'
'Among the many who came drawn to her
Nowhere she found her partner of high tasks,
The comrade of her soul, her other self
Who was made with her, like God and Nature, one.'
Sweet and wonderful expression here like Savitri
Herself 'like God and Nature, one.'
'Too great was her demand, too pure her force.'
'Earth nursed, unconscious still, the inhabiting flame,
Yet something deeply stirred and dimly knew; '
'Some secret wing of expectation beat,
A growing sense of something new and rare
And beautiful stole across the heart of Time.
Then a faint whisper of her touched the soil,
'The eye of the great world discovered her
And wonder lifted up its bardic voice.'
'The hearts of men are amorous of clay-kin'
'Whoever is too great must lonely live.
Adored he walks in mighty solitude;
Vain is his labour to create his kind,
His only comrade is the Strength within.
Thus was it for a while with Savitri.'........
............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
