Daily Savitri - 288
Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
One who has shaped this world is ever its lord:
Our errors are his steps upon the way;
He works through the fierce vicissitudes of our lives,
He works through the hard breath of battle and toil,
He works through our sins and sorrows and our tears,
His knowledge overrules our nescience;
Whatever the appearance we must bear,
Whatever our strong ills and present fate,
When nothing we can see but drift and bale,
A mighty Guidance leads us still through all.
- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo, Book I - The Book of Beginnings - Canto IV - The Secret Knowledge,

How to read Savitri?
It
does not matter if you do not understand it ? Savitri, read it always.
You will see that every time you read it, something new will be revealed
to you. Each time you will get a new glimpse, each time a new
experience; things which were not there, things you did not understand
arise and suddenly become clear. Always an unexpected vision comes up
through the words and lines. Every time you try to read and understand,
you will see that something is added, something which was hidden behind
is revealed clearly and vividly. I tell you the very verses you have
read once before, will appear to you in a different light each time you
re-read them. This is what of happens invariably. Always your experience
is enriched, it is a revelation at each step. But you must not read it
as you read other books or newspapers. You must read with an empty head,
a blank and vacant mind, without there being any other thought; you
must concentrate much, remain empty, calm and open; then the words,
rhythms, vibrations will penetrate directly to this white page, will put
their stamp upon the brain, will explain themselves without your making
any effort.
