At the Feet of The Mother
Canto III: Satyavan and Savitri
Savitri’s quest has ended. She has found Satyavan and the two have chosen each other with the God as a witness.
Savitri and Satyavan are none other than the Lord and His Eternal Spouse who have taken a human body to show the way to man.
It is a most beautiful and complete and truest description of the married union born of the fire of deep intense love.
Savitri hears Satyavan’s invitation and the hint of love. She too has felt moved by love in her bosom. So now she responds, more through gestures sweet than through words.
The coming of Savitri is seen by Satyavan as the gold link between Spirit and Matter that he has been seeking for so long.
Satyavan now discloses his journey so far that has led him to this point.
The conversation between Savitri and Satyavan is surely one of the best, noblest ever documented in the history of mankind.
Satyavan now shares with Savitri his upbringing and early years that have shaped his life.
Satyavan is already inwardly awake. Each experience of Nature serves as a catalyst to open the doors of knowledge within him.
Savitri hears Satyavan and speaks for the first time responding to the query of Satyavan.
After welcoming Savitri with beautiful speech, Satyavan now invites her to his home, a hermitage nearby.
Satyavan now welcomes Savitri with a speech full of wonder and joy.
Thus Satyavan starts introducing himself, his inner being, the truth of his inner personality, his way of seeing the world.
There is an instant recognition when Savitri meets Satyavan.
Satyavan and Savitri have met and woven a secret affinity in their gaze. Love has already been born in their hearts.
