Then the small bodily ego thins and falls;No more insisting on its separate self,Losing the punctilio of its separate birth,It leaves us one with Nature and with God.In moments when the inner lamps are litAnd the life’s cherished guests are left outside,Our spirit sits alone and speaks to its gulfs.Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Book I, CantoContinue reading “Psychic Fire”

A mystic slow transfiguration works.All our earth starts from mud and ends in sky,And Love that was once an animal’s desire,Then a sweet madness in the rapturous heart,An ardent comradeship in the happy mind,Becomes a wide spiritual yearning’s space.A lonely soul passions for the Alone,The heart that loved man thrills to the love of God,AContinue reading “Unifying one’s being”

A force in her that toiled since earth was made,Accomplishing in life the great world-plan,Pursuing after death immortal aims,Repugned to admit frustration’s barren role,Forfeit the meaning of her birth in Time,Obey the government of the casual factOr yield her high destiny up to passing Chance.In her own self she found her high recourse;She matched withContinue reading “Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Book I, Canto II, page 19. “

A vision came of higher realms than ours,A consciousness of brighter fields and skies,Of beings less circumscribed than brief-lived menAnd subtler bodies than these passing frames,Objects too fine for our material grasp,Acts vibrant with a superhuman lightAnd movements pushed by a superconscient force,And joys that never flowed through mortal limbs,And lovelier scenes than earth’s andContinue reading “Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Book I, Canto III”

And Savitri looked on Death and answered not.Almost it seemed as if in his symbol shapeThe world’s darkness had consented to Heaven-lightAnd God needed no more the Inconscient’s screen.A mighty transformation came on her.Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Book X, Canto IV, page 664. A work that has terrestrial progress as its goal cannot be started unlessContinue reading ” The Mother, Words of the Mother III”
