About Savitri | B1C3-19 Secret Knowledge Masked in Ignorance (p.43)
In the struggle and upheaval of the world He saw the labour of a godhead’s birth: A secret knowledge masked as Ignorance; Fate covered with unseen necessity The game of chance of an omnipotent Will. A glory and a rapture and a charm, The All-Blissful sat unknown within the heart; Earth’s pains were the ransom of its prisoned delight. A glad communion tinged the passing hours; The days were travellers on a destined road, The nights companions of his musing spirit. A heavenly impetus quickened all his breast; The trudge of time changed to a splendid march; The divine Dwarf towered to unconquered worlds, Earth grew too narrow for his victory. Once only registering the heavy tread Of a blind Power on human littleness, Life now became a sure approach to God, Existence a divine experiment And cosmos the soul’s opportunity. The world was a conception and a birth Of Spirit in Matter into living forms, And Nature bore the Immortal in her womb, That she might climb through him to eternal life.
It is a more and more clear description of the Divine Presence in all things and all life. This is a realisation that is brought by the true Consciousness when it manifests upon earth. And Sri Aurobindo had described all these movements and all these events long before they took place. Now the Consciousness is come and what He described has become true.
About Savitri | B1C3-19 Secret Knowledge Masked in Ignorance (p.43)
In the struggle and upheaval of the world
He saw the labour of a godhead’s birth:
A secret knowledge masked as Ignorance;
Fate covered with unseen necessity
The game of chance of an omnipotent Will.
A glory and a rapture and a charm,
The All-Blissful sat unknown within the heart;
Earth’s pains were the ransom of its prisoned delight.
A glad communion tinged the passing hours;
The days were travellers on a destined road,
The nights companions of his musing spirit.
A heavenly impetus quickened all his breast;
The trudge of time changed to a splendid march;
The divine Dwarf towered to unconquered worlds,
Earth grew too narrow for his victory.
Once only registering the heavy tread
Of a blind Power on human littleness,
Life now became a sure approach to God,
Existence a divine experiment
And cosmos the soul’s opportunity.
The world was a conception and a birth
Of Spirit in Matter into living forms,
And Nature bore the Immortal in her womb,
That she might climb through him to eternal life.
It is a more and more clear description of the Divine Presence in all things and all life.
This is a realisation that is brought by the true Consciousness when it manifests upon earth. And Sri Aurobindo had described all these movements and all these events long before they took place.
Now the Consciousness is come and what He described has become true.
