Savitri - 45



Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
Daily Savitri - 45


Even in this moment of her soul's despair, 
In its grim rendezvous with death and fear, 
No cry broke from her lips, no call for aid; 
She told the secret of her woe to none: 
Calm was her face and courage kept her mute. 
Yet only her outward self suffered and strove; 
Even her humanity was half divine:  

- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, Book 1, Canto -1, The Symbol Dawn, Page 8

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.


Thanks,
