Aurobindo 180 Savitri Book 11
'A second time the eternal cry arose:
'Wide open are the ineffable gates in front.
My spirit leans down to break the knot of earth,
Amorous of oneness without thought or sign
To cast down wall and fence, to strip heaven bare,
See with the large eye of infinity,
Unweave the stars and into silence pass.'
O'Savitri, what a labyrinth of an endeavour you're through
May that Almighty bless you Savitri
For you speak and see Him in all creatures
'In an immense and world-destroying pause
She heard a million creatures cry to her.
'Thy oneness, Lord, in many approaching hearts,
My sweet infinity of thy numberless souls.'
'A third time swelled the great admonishing call: '
Break the law, bless the great soul o'high-cry..
'I spread abroad the refuge of my wings.
Out of its incommunicable deeps
My power looks forth of mightiest splendour, stilled
Into its majesty of sleep, withdrawn
Above the dreadful whirlings of the world.'
'Thy energy, Lord, to seize on woman and man,
To take all things and creatures in their grief
And gather them into a mother's arms.'
'I open the wide eye of solitude
To uncover the voiceless rapture of my bliss,
Where in a pure and exquisite hush it lies
Motionless in its slumber of ecstasy,
Resting from the sweet madness of the dance
Out of whose beat the throb of hearts was born.'...
............My consciousness this moment,
O'Guru, I'm in awe....in invincible heights
Ineffable Thee embellishing poetic creation
My inquisitive apprehension, erring Thee may opine
May thereso, let Savitri in my self arise
Aroused thereso be knowledge and fortune
