Aurobindo 57 Savitri Book 2
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book Two: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds
Canto Fifteen: The Kingdoms of the Greater Knowledge
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
'After a measureless moment of the soul
Again returning to these surface fields
Out of the timeless depths where he had sunk,
He heard once more the slow tread of the hours.
All once perceived and lived was far away;
Himself was to himself his only scene.'
'He dwelt in his self's colourless purity.'
A silence in silent purity in deep divinity...
'Out of the neutral silence of his soul
He passed to its fields of puissance and of calm'
'Traversed the realms of the supreme Idea
And sought the summit of created things
And the almighty source of cosmic change.'
'There Knowledge called him to her mystic peaks'
'And vision climbs beyond the reach of Time.'
Indeed a travel through the mystic supra-mental bliss...
'Delivered from the fictions of the mind
Time's triple dividing step baffled no more; '
'All but the ultimate Mystery was his field,
Almost the Unknowable disclosed its rim.
His self's infinities began to emerge,
The hidden universes cried to him; '
'He came new-born, infant and limitless
And grew in the wisdom of the timeless Child; '
And one step up this little child of little life..
A childish toddler wishing to walk on cosmic ocean..
Widened my eyes efforting to widen an inlook
To vision Thine greater steps of supra-mental trance
But in vain this un-yogic mind; yet desirous heart
Pulsating memorizing 'forget the Matter, remember the Soul'...
............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
Ebd Of Book Two
