Savitri - 33



Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
Daily Savitri - 33


And, leader here with his uncertain mind, 
Alone who stares at the future's covered face, 
Man lifted up the burden of his fate.


      And Savitri too awoke among these tribes 
That hastened to join the brilliant Summoner's chant 
And, lured by the beauty of the apparent ways, 
Acclaimed their portion of ephemeral joy. 

- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, Book 1, Canto -1, The Symbol Dawn, Page 6

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.
