Explorations in Savitri

He linked creation to the Eternal's sphere. His finite parts approached their absolutes, His actions framed the movements of the Gods, His will took up the reins of cosmic Force.

All he had been and all towards which he grew Must now be left behind or else transform Into a self of That which has no name.

Above the changing cosmic interlude Abode supreme, immutably the same, A silent Cause occult, impenetrable,— Infinite, eternal, unthinkable, alone.

"A being of wisdom, power and delight, Even as a mother draws her child to her arms, Took to her breast Nature and world and soul."

The undying Truth appeared, the enduring Power Of all that here is made and then destroyed, The Mother of all godheads and all strengths Who, mediatrix, binds earth to the Supreme.

She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire. The luminous heart of the Unknown is she, A power of silence in the depths of God; She is the Force, the inevitable Word, The magnet of our difficult ascent, The Sun from which we kindle all our suns

Dialogues of Dr. Alok Pandey and Narad on Sri Aurobindo's mantric epic poem "Savitri"

He tore desire up from its bleeding roots And offered to the gods the vacant place. Thus could he bear the touch immaculate.

One grew the Spirit's secret unity, All Nature felt again the single bliss. There was no cleavage between soul and soul, There was no barrier between world and God.
