Daily Savitri - 370
Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
A brighter heavenlier sun must soon illume
This dusk room with its dark internal stair,
The infant soul in its small nursery school
Mid objects meant for a lesson hardly learned
Outgrow its early grammar of intellect
And its imitation of Earth-Nature's art,
Its earthly dialect to God-language change,
In living symbols study Reality And learn the logic of the Infinite.
The Ideal must be Nature's common truth,
The body illumined with the indwelling God,
The heart and mind feel one with all that is,
- Savitri by Sri Aurobindo,
Book I - The Book of Beginnings,
Canto V - The Yoga of the King:
The Yoga of the Spirit's Freedom and Greatness

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.
