Aurobindo 78 Savitri Book 4
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book Four: The Book of Birth and Quest
Canto Three: The Call to the Quest
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
'A casual passing phrase can change our life.'
'O spirit, traveller of...Line 174 to
thy self beyond Time.'216.....
Words powerful of a real call to the quest..
And magnanimously unimaginable and beautiful
Those painted words colourful on Savitri
'O rubies of silence...Line 189 to...
'Depart where love and destiny call your charm.'194
'This word was seed of all the thing to be:
A hand from some Greatness opened her heart's locked doors
And showed the work for which her strength was born.'
'As when the mantra sinks in Yoga's ear,
Its message enters stirring the blind brain'
'The hearer understands a form of words'
'Transmuted by the white spiritual ray'
'Sees the God-face and hears transcendent speech: '
'An equal greatness in her life was sown.'
'She turned to vastnesses not yet her own;
Allured her heart throbbed to unknown sweetnesses;
The secrets of an unseen world were close.'
Then the following words..Line245 to 251
Exquisite, godly should be read and felt
To cite here one for my added salutation
'Night lit the watch-fires of eternity.'
'When the pale dawn slipped through Night's shadowy guard,
Vainly the new-born light desired her face; '
'Her moonbeam feet tinged not the lucent floors:
The beauty and divinity were gone.
Delight had fled to search the spacious world.'
Earth back in its cycle of day and dark...
............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
