She walked in their front towards a greater light

Thursday, October 3, 2024 • Duration 04:36

Savitri: Book 4, Canto 2, Section 1, Part 1

A mind daring heavenly experiment,

Growing towards some largeness they felt near,

Testing the unknown’s bound with eager touch

They still were prisoned by their human grain:

They could not keep up with her tireless step;

Too small and eager for her large-paced will,

Too narrow to look with the unborn Infinite’s gaze

Their nature weary grew of things too great.

For even the close partners of her thoughts

Who could have walked the nearest to her ray,

Worshipped the power and light they felt in her

But could not match the measure of her soul.

A friend and yet too great wholly to know,

She walked in their front towards a greater light,

Their leader and queen over their hearts and souls,

One close to their bosoms, yet divine and far.

Admiring and amazed they saw her stride

Attempting with a godlike rush and leap

Heights for their human stature too remote

Or with a slow great many-sided toil

Pushing towards aims they hardly could conceive;

Yet forced to be the satellites of her sun

They moved unable to forego her light,

Desiring they clutched at her with outstretched hands

Or followed stumbling in the paths she made.

Or longing with their self of life and flesh

They clung to her for heart’s nourishment and support:

The rest they could not see in visible light;

Vaguely they bore her inner mightiness.

Or bound by the senses and the longing heart,

Adoring with a turbid human love,

They could not grasp the mighty spirit she was

Or change by closeness to be even as she.

Some felt her with their souls and thrilled with her,

A greatness felt near yet beyond mind’s grasp;

To see her was a summons to adore,

To be near her drew a high communion’s force.

His spirit was made a vessel of her force

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 02:53

Savitri: Book 2 Canto 14 Section 3 Part 2

His spirit was made a vessel of her force;

Mute in the fathomless passion of his will

He outstretched to her his folded hands of prayer.

Then in a sovereign answer to his heart

A gesture came as of worlds thrown away,

And from her raiment’s lustrous mystery raised

One arm half-parted the eternal veil.

A light appeared still and imperishable.

Attracted to the large and luminous depths

Of the ravishing enigma of her eyes,

He saw the mystic outline of a face.

Overwhelmed by her implacable light and bliss,

An atom of her illimitable self

Mastered by the honey and lightning of her power,

Tossed towards the shores of her ocean-ecstasy,

Drunk with a deep golden spiritual wine,

He cast from the rent stillness of his soul

A cry of adoration and desire

And the surrender of his boundless mind

And the self-giving of his silent heart.

He fell down at her feet unconscious, prone.

The spirit is doomed to pain till man is free.

Thursday, September 12, 2024 • Duration 05:02

Savitri: Book 6 Canto 2 Section 2 part 2

The spirit is doomed to pain till man is free.

There is a clamour of battle, a tramp, a march:

A cry arises like a moaning sea,

A desperate laughter under the blows of death,

A doom of blood and sweat and toil and tears.

Men die that man may live and God be born.

An awful Silence watches tragic Time.

Pain is the hand of Nature sculpturing men

To greatness: an inspired labour chisels

With heavenly cruelty an unwilling mould.

Implacable in the passion of their will,

Lifting the hammers of titanic toil

The demiurges of the universe work;

They shape with giant strokes their own; their sons

Are marked with their enormous stamp of fire.

Although the shaping god’s tremendous touch

Is torture unbearable to mortal nerves,

The fiery spirit grows in strength within

And feels a joy in every titan pang.

He who would save himself lives bare and calm;

CANTO II: The Way of Fate and the Problem of Pain 445

He who would save the race must share its pain:

This he shall know who obeys that grandiose urge.

The Great who came to save this suffering world

All creation is her endless act

Sunday, September 8, 2024 • Duration 05:26

Savitri: Book 2 Canto 14 Section 3 Part 1

In a slumber of the voices of the world

He of the eternal moment grew aware;

His knowledge stripped bare of the garbs of sense

Knew by identity without thought or word;

His being saw itself without its veils,

Life’s line fell from the spirit’s infinity.

Along a road of pure interior light,

Alone between tremendous Presences,

Under the watching eyes of nameless Gods,

His soul passed on, a single conscious power,

Towards the end which ever begins again,

Approaching through a stillness dumb and calm

To the source of all things human and divine.

There he beheld in their mighty union’s poise

The figure of the deathless Two-in-One,

A single being in two bodies clasped,

A diarchy of two united souls,

Seated absorbed in deep creative joy;

Their trance of bliss sustained the mobile world.

Behind them in a morning dusk One stood

Who brought them forth from the Unknowable.

Ever disguised she awaits the seeking spirit;

Watcher on the supreme unreachable peaks,

Guide of the traveller of the unseen paths,

She guards the austere approach to the Alone.

Pain is the hammer of the Gods to break

Monday, August 26, 2024 • Duration 05:56

Savitri: Book 6 Canto 2 Section 2 part 1

Where Ignorance is, there suffering too must come;

Thy grief is a cry of darkness to the Light;

Pain was the first-born of the Inconscience

Which was thy body’s dumb original base;

Already slept there pain’s subconscient shape:

A shadow in a shadowy tenebrous womb,

Till life shall move, it waits to wake and be.

In one caul with joy came forth the dreadful Power.

In life’s breast it was born hiding its twin;

But pain came first, then only joy could be.

Pain ploughed the first hard ground of the world-drowse.

By pain a spirit started from the clod,

By pain Life stirred in the subliminal deep.

Interned, submerged, hidden in Matter’s trance

Awoke to itself the dreamer, sleeping Mind;

It made a visible realm out of its dreams,

It drew its shapes from the subconscient depths,

Then turned to look upon the world it had made.

By pain and joy, the bright and tenebrous twins,

The inanimate world perceived its sentient soul,

Else had the Inconscient never suffered change.

Pain is the hammer of the Gods to break

A dead resistance in the mortal’s heart,

His slow inertia as of living stone.

A vast surrender was his only strength

Tuesday, August 6, 2024 • Duration 05:09

Savitri: Book 3 Canto 2 Section 3

This was a seed cast into endless Time.

A Word is spoken or a Light is shown,

A moment sees, the ages toil to express.

So flashing out of the Timeless leaped the worlds;

An eternal instant is the cause of the years.

All he had done was to prepare a field;

His small beginnings asked for a mighty end:

For all that he had been must now new-shape

In him her joy to embody, to enshrine

Her beauty and greatness in his house of life.

But now his being was too wide for self;

His heart’s demand had grown immeasurable:

His single freedom could not satisfy,

Her light, her bliss he asked for earth and men.

But vain are human power and human love

To break earth’s seal of ignorance and death;

His nature’s might seemed now an infant’s grasp;

Heaven is too high for outstretched hands to seize.

This Light comes not by struggle or by thought;

In the mind’s silence the Transcendent acts

And the hushed heart hears the unuttered Word.

A vast surrender was his only strength.

A Power that lives upon the heights must act,

Bring into life’s closed room the Immortal’s air

And fill the finite with the Infinite.

She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire

Sunday, July 21, 2024 • Duration 05:33

Savitri: Book 3 Canto 2 Section 2

At the head she stands of birth and toil and fate,

In their slow round the cycles turn to her call;

Alone her hands can change Time’s dragon base.

Hers is the mystery the Night conceals;

The spirit’s alchemist energy is hers;

She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire.

The luminous heart of the Unknown is she,

A power of silence in the depths of God;

She is the Force, the inevitable Word,

The magnet of our difficult ascent,

The Sun from which we kindle all our suns,

The Light that leans from the unrealised Vasts,

The joy that beckons from the impossible,

The Might of all that never yet came down.

All Nature dumbly calls to her alone

To heal with her feet the aching throb of life

And break the seals on the dim soul of man

And kindle her fire in the closed heart of things.

All here shall be one day her sweetness’ home,

All contraries prepare her harmony;

Towards her our knowledge climbs, our passion gropes;

In her miraculous rapture we shall dwell,

Her clasp shall turn to ecstasy our pain.

Our self shall be one self with all through her.

I live in the glory of the Infinite

Friday, July 5, 2024 • Duration 05:17

Savitri: Book 10 Canto 4 Section 2 end

Already the torch becomes the undying ray,

Already the life is the Immortal’s force,

The house grows of the householder part and one.

How sayst thou Truth can never light the human mind

And Bliss can never invade the mortal’s heart

Or God descend into the world he made?

If in the meaningless Void creation rose,

If from a bodiless Force Matter was born,

If Life could climb in the unconscious tree,

Its green delight break into emerald leaves

And its laughter of beauty blossom in the flower,

If sense could wake in tissue, nerve and cell

And Thought seize the grey matter of the brain,

And soul peep from its secrecy through the flesh,

How shall the nameless Light not leap on men,

And unknown powers emerge from Nature’s sleep?

Even now hints of a luminous Truth like stars

Arise in the mind-mooned splendour of Ignorance;

Even now the deathless Lover’s touch we feel:

If the chamber’s door is even a little ajar,

What then can hinder God from stealing in

Or who forbid his kiss on the sleeping soul?

Already God is near, the Truth is close:

Because the dark atheist body knows him not,

The Spirit shall be the master of his world

Sunday, June 16, 2024 • Duration 05:53

Savitri: BOOK 11 Canto 1 Section 8

The Book of Everlasting Day

The Spirit shall be the master of his world

Lurking no more in form’s obscurity

And Nature shall reverse her action’s rule,

The outward world disclose the Truth it veils;

All things shall manifest the covert God,

All shall reveal the Spirit’s light and might

And move to its destiny of felicity.

Even should a hostile force cling to its reign

And claim its right’s perpetual sovereignty

And man refuse his high spiritual fate,

Yet shall the secret Truth in things prevail.

For in the march of all-fulfilling Time

The hour must come of the Transcendent’s will:

All turns and winds towards his predestined ends

In Nature’s fixed inevitable course

Decreed since the beginning of the worlds

In the deep essence of created things:

Even there shall come as a high crown of all

The end of Death, the death of Ignorance.

But first high Truth must set her feet on earth

And man aspire to the Eternal’s light

And all his members feel the Spirit’s touch

And all his life obey an inner Force.

This too shall be; for a new life shall come,

Mahalakshmi [2]

Mahalakshmi

Book -3, Canto- 2, The book of the Divine Mother, Pg-314

A burning Love from white spiritual founts

Annulled the sorrow of the ignorant depths;

Suffering was lost in her immortal smile.

A Life from beyond grew conqueror here of death;

To err no more was natural to mind;

Wrong could not come where all was light and love.

The Formless and the Formed were joined in her:

Immensity was exceeded by a look,

A Face revealed the crowded Infinite.

Incarnating inexpressibly in her limbs

The boundless joy the blind world-forces seek,

Her body of beauty mooned the seas of bliss.
