Aurobindo-15-Savitri-Book -2
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book II The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds
Canto I The World-Stair
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
'A self-creation without end or pause
Revealed the grandeurs of the Infinite:
It flung into the hazards of its play
A million moods, a myriad energies,
The world-shapes that are fancies of its Truth
And the formulas of the freedom of its Force.'..Oh
On its hallucinatory screen visions my trivial mind
All cinematic..only cinematic incapable for the real..
'Here all experience was a single plan,
The thousandfold expression of the One.
All came at once into his single view; '
'He was one spirit with that immensity.'
'The voices of a thousand realms of Life
Missioned to him her mighty messages.'
'Tireless the heart's adventure of delight, '
'Unnumbered tones struck from one harmony's strings; '
'All was found there the Unique has dreamed..'
'Only was missing the sole timeless Word
That carries eternity in its lonely sound, '
..Perhaps OM it is, I guess and if wrong I'm
Means, in the grip of earthly dins illusioned
'In a mystical barrage of dynamic light
He saw a lone immense high-curved world-pile'
'Motionless under an inscrutable sky.'
'Alone it points us to our journey back
Out of our long self-loss in Nature's deeps'
'It is within, below, without, above.'
'Lifts mortal mind into a greater air,
Makes yearn this life of flesh to intangible aims,
Links the body's death with immortality's call: '...
............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
