An appreciation on Savitri- <br />Book 3-The Book of the Divine Mother <br />Canto Two: The Adoration of the Divine Mother <br />Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's <br /> <br />'The Formless and the Formed were joined in her: ' <br />'At the head she stands of birth and toil and fate, <br />In their slow round the cycles turn to her call; ' <br />'She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire. <br />The luminous heart of the Unknown is she, <br />A power of silence in the depths of God; ' <br />'She is the Force' fierce and tranquil in every make <br />And 'The magnet of our difficult ascent, '.. <br /> <br />'All Nature dumbly calls to her alone <br />To heal with her feet the aching throb of life <br />And break the seals on the dim soul of man <br />And kindle her fire in the closed heart of things.' <br />A sparkiling seed sown to first yell ma...in nature <br />'All here shall be one day her sweetness' home, <br />All contraries prepare her harmony; ' <br />May that dream of hope come true.... <br /> <br />'This known as in a thunder-flash of God, <br />The rapture of things eternal filled his limbs; ' <br />'But now his being was too wide for self; ' <br />'Her light, her bliss he asked for earth and men.' <br />'But vain are human power and human love' <br />A vast surrender was his only strength.'... <br /> <br />............My consciousness this moment, <br />O'Guru, I'm in awe....in invincible heights <br />Ineffable Thee embellishing poetic creation <br />My inquisitive apprehension, erring Thee may opine <br />May thereso, let Savitri in my self arise <br />Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune <br /> <br />End of Canto Two<br /><br />Indira Renganathan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aurobindo-60-savitri-book-3/
