At the Feet of The Mother

A Talk in Hindi (audio)
After writing most of the major works like Synthesis of yoga, Ideal of human unity, The Life Divine etc, Sri Aurobindo was preparing the humanity for something special, for a unique Light of Consciousness that had never manifested so far. It was this supreme gift that He gave to man in the form of Savitri.
She is the Divine Mother in a human form. She has assumed this to solve the enigma of human life. But first she must first taste the sorrow that human beings experience.
Savitri readily accepts the new life and the challenge it brings to her. She carries within her breast the will of the gods, her strength can bear the burden of her fate. The seasons pass and like all things turn joy into grief as the moment of fugitive happiness passes. This is the truth that Savitri realizes, the sheer impermanence of all things here.
Sri Aurobindo now brings out once again the beauty and nobility of Savitri, the force of her character and her ability to naturally renounce the comfortable and royal life for the sake of following her soul’s choice, for the sake of her love.
Fate is a challenge that our soul has accepted to bring out its hidden powers. As long as the full soul power is not yet developed we remain subject to Fate. But once the soul has awakened and discovered its hidden glories, then Fate can be mastered.

Classical yogas say that behind this transient creation, there is eternal Brahma. The outer nature is the temporary covering. Sri Aurobindo brought a new revelation that this transient creation too holds within itself a divine possibility.
