Savitri - 360


Daily Savitri - 360

Sri Aurobindo's Savitri


There in a hidden chamber closed and mute 
Are kept the record graphs of the cosmic scribe, 
And there the tables of the sacred Law, 
There is the Book of Being's index page; 
The text and glossary of the Vedic truth 
Are there; the rhythms and metres of the stars 
Significant of the movements of our fate: 
The symbol powers of number and of form, 
And the secret code of the history of the world 
And Nature's correspondence with the soul 
Are written in the mystic heart of Life. 

- 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.
