Savitri - 357


Daily Savitri - 357

Sri Aurobindo's Savitri



This knowledge first he had of time-born men. 
Admitted through a curtain of bright mind 
That hangs between our thoughts and absolute sight, 
He found the occult cave, the mystic door 
Near to the well of vision in the soul, 
And entered where the Wings of Glory brood 
In the silent space where all is for ever known.

- 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
 Page  74


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.
