Aswapati, the seer-yogi has broken free from the magic fence of Ignorance. He is now a witness and privy to some profound truths that are hidden from our mind and senses.
At the Feet of The Mother

A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
He would guide the world, himself he cannot guide;
He would save his soul, his life he cannot save.
The light his soul had brought his mind has lost;
Equipped with sraddha and prarthana, the sadhaka can walk in the path of yoga confidently as he can feel the joy and protection of the Divine always with him.
Release from Ignorance is the first radical step of yoga. Here we see Aswapati soaring beyond the ignorant mental consciousness that surrounds man and keeps him a prisoner.
Savitri reveals to us the story of the human soul as it climbs through a series of challenges, oppositions and denials.
In this yoga one needs faith that the Divine exists and will reveal Himself in response to our sincere aspiration by His own Grace. Once this fundamental faith is there, a thousand failures cannot stop him achieving the goal.
Savitri is a mantra that reveals itself as the recipient consciousness becomes quiet and open to its influence. Savitri is, as the Mother reveals, a mantra of transformation.
Many parts of our being are not open to the Divine, and we have to persist until they open too. Absence of fear and a complete surrender are the best conditions to be in whatever are the outer circumstances, and facilitate a wide opening.
Spiritual thought has leaned towards the immobile witness Self and hence has discarded nature. On the other hand secular efforts have tended to discover the secrets of nature and make life perfect with these discoveries. Sri Aurobindo synthesizes the two in a harmonious oneness.
