Savitri - 62



Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
Daily Savitri - 62

The fixity of the cosmic sequences 
Fastened with hidden inevitable links 
She must disrupt, dislodge by her soul's force 
Her past, a block on the Immortal's road, 
Make a rased ground and shape anew her fate. 
A colloquy of the original Gods 
Meeting upon the borders of the unknown,  

- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, Book 1, Canto -II, The Issue, Page 12

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.
