Read it with faith, a little every day as Their supreme Prasad and all that is needed to understand will develop and all that is needed will be done.
An essay by Dr Alok Pandey (TEXT)
"Most of all enjoy Savitri. It is Sri Aurobindo's gift of Love to the world. Read it from the heart with love and gratitude as companions, and drown in its fiery bliss. That is the true understanding rather than one that comes by a constant churning of words in the head."
The dawn becomes at once a symbol and a reality. On the physical plane it is the day of destiny when Satyavan must die. But at a deeper level, and almost paradoxically, it is the dawn of creation, the coming of Hope and Light and effort and beauty and joy into the world.
"Savitri comes to lead and show us the way so that we may follow in Her trail of Light, carried by Her Love."
"This is Savitri, the Light of the Supreme, the incarnation of the Divine Mother who enters the prison house of matter, veiling Her Light and Glory and Powers. She comes near us to breathe hope and give strength. Her very Presence is enough to disarm the sentries. Her smile is enough to fill us with renewed energy and enthusiasm."
Beyond there is a whole world awaiting our discovery, a world that expresses itself as a state of Consciousness. It is here that Man begins to fulfill his real role to go beyond his humanity and, transcending the barriers of the mind, enter the domains of a higher spiritual truth. But this is no easy task. Nature keeps us tied within its boundaries.
As man grows beyond his first primal needs, there also grows in him, especially with the development of the mind, the urge to understand the world around him. But the understanding of the world alone does not satisfy his longings for knowledge. There comes a point when he must turn back upon himself, the observer of the scene and try to see who he himself is?
