This talk is focused on Book Two Canto Nine of Savitri. Here Aswapati is moving through the Paradise of Life-Gods. It is the state where one arrives having faced and the wounds and pangs of Hell and yet not succumbing to its assaults of fear and pain. To such a warrior soul this comes as a gift and a temporary rest and release. It is a state of perpetual joy. What follows therefore is a beautiful and vivid description of this highest heaven of the Vital.
A colossal black serpent guards the treasures of the vital world. It only yields to those who master humanity’s sexual impulse.
