Savitri Study Classes in Hindi

In street and house, in councils and in courts Beings he met who looked like living men And climbed in speech upon high wings of thought But harboured all that is subhuman, vile And lower than the lowest reptile's crawl.

As a sea nears a victim bound and still, The approach alarmed his mind for ever dumb Of an implacable eternity Of pain inhuman and intolerable.

There in the heart of vain phenomenon, In an enormous action's writhen core He saw a Shape illimitable and vague Sitting on Death who swallows all things born.

Opposing in the heart the eternal Will, They veil the occult uplifting Harmonist. His wisdom's oracles are made our bonds; The doors of God they have locked with keys of creed And shut out by the Law his tireless Grace.

 For terrible agencies the Spirit allows And there are subtle and enormous Powers That shield themselves with the covering Ignorance.

An evil environment worsened evil souls: All things were conscious there and all perverse.

Alive, breathing a deep spiritual breath, Nature expunged her stiff mechanical code And the articles of the bound soul's contract, Falsehood gave back to Truth her tortured shape.

The shining Edens of the vital gods Received him in their deathless harmonies. All things were perfect there that flower in Time; Beauty was there creation's native mould, Peace was a thrilled voluptuous purity.

It drew from sight and sound spiritual power, Made sense a road to reach the intangible: It thrilled with the supernal influences That build the substance of life's deeper soul. Earth-nature stood reborn, comrade of heaven.

THIS too must now be overpassed and left, As all must be until the Highest is gained In whom the world and self grow true and one: Till That is reached our journeying cannot cease.

Appointed by the Spirit of the Worlds To mediate with the unknowing depths, A prototypal deft Intelligence Half-poised on equal wings of thought and doubt Toiled ceaselessly twixt being's hidden ends.

The mediating light linked body's power, The sleep and dreaming of the tree and plant, The animal's vibrant sense, the thought in man, To the effulgence of a Ray above.

A dwarf three-bodied trinity was her serf. First, smallest of the three, but strong of limb, A low-brow with a square and heavy jowl, A pigmy Thought needing to live in bounds For ever stooped to hammer fact and form.

 A fiery spirit came, next of the three. A hunchback rider of the red Wild-Ass, A rash Intelligence leaped down lion-maned From the great mystic Flame that rings the worlds And with its dire edge eats at being's heart.

She spins in stiff but unsubstantial lines Her gossamer word-webs of abstract thought, Her segment systems of the Infinite, Her theodicies and cosmogonic charts And myths by which she explains the inexplicable.

Out of Nature's body of phenomenon She carves with Thought's keen edge in rigid lines, Like rails for the World-Magician's power to run, Her sciences precise and absolute.

Once more the world was made a wonder-web, A magic's process in a magical space, An unintelligible miracle's depths Whose source is lost in the Ineffable.

One chance remained that here might be a power To liberate man from the old inadequate means And leave him sovereign of the earthly scene.
