Canto Five gives us a powerful and detailed description of the experiences during the passage to one’s soul.
At the Feet of The Mother
Canto V: The Finding of the Soul
Sri Aurobindo summarises now the soul’s evolutionary journey and the culmination of its first fruitful stage.
A high uplifting change has occurred in Savitri as a result of the unveiling of the inmost soul and its influence pouring upon her inner being.
It is the Divine Mother’s power that is hidden in the base of the spine as the Kundalini Shakti. The effects of its awakening are described.
Savitri has discovered her soul, become one with it. Her being wakes up to deeper possibilities leading to the awakening of Kundalini Force.
Savitri accomplishes the first great step of the yoga, — the discovery and union with the soul.
The psychic being is the immortal in our transient life and its ever changing scenes. It is the deathless element in us amidst all that transient and momentary.
Thus Savitri enters the sanctum sanctorum in the inmost depths of her heart where she met her soul.
Savitri steps into the house of God within where all the worlds and their powers are represented.
