Savitri - 304

Daily Savitri - 304


Sri Aurobindo's Savitri


He takes birth in her world, waits on her will, 
Divines her enigmatic gesture's sense, 
The fluctuating chance turns of her mood, 
Works out her meanings she seems not to know 
And serves her secret purpose in long Time. 
As one too great for him he worships her; 
He adores her as his regent of desire, 
He yields to her as the mover of his will, 
He burns the incense of his nights and days 
Offering his life, a splendour of sacrifice. 

- 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.
