At the Feet of The Mother
Canto III: The Call to the Quest
These beautiful lines reveal to us all about the power of the mantra in a single long passage.
Aswapati bids Savitri to go out into the wide world and discover her soul-mate.
Aswapati sets the tone for sending Savitri to venture into the world to find her partner.
Aswapati feels an inspired to speak to the depths of Savitri’s heart.
Aswapati beholds in his daughter an incarnation of the Divine Mother and the mission she is here to accomplish.
Here we see Aswapati beholding Savitri with the vision of a yogi and a seer and not just of her father and king.
Human life moves in the average pitch between the godlike and the animal kind.
Human life is a mixed tissue. We are as if shut in a material casement that screens our deeper and higher aspects.
