Savitri -29



Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
Daily Savitri - 29



Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, 
The prescience of a marvellous birth to come. 
Only a little the god-light can stay: 
Spiritual beauty illumining human sight 
Lines with its passion and mystery Matter's mask 
And squanders eternity on a beat of Time. 
As when a soul draws near the sill of birth,

- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, Book 1, Canto -1, The Symbol Dawn, Page 5

Sri Aurobindo's epic poem, Savitri, is a symbolic myth that responds to a deeply felt need in the contemporary mind. Not only does it represent a world view that is in harmony with the most recent understanding of scientific reality; but, as a symbol, it penetrates to the essential truth of that reality. It concomitantly describes what is involved in the fulfillment of a spiritually individuated life. This is the goal of Jung's myth of consciousness for our time. Not only is Savitri a vision for individual and collective self-fulfillment, but, as a mantra, it has a directly transformative effect on the inner consciousness. Such a magnificent poem calls for intelligent reflection.
