A weekly sharing on Savitri by Dr Alok Pandey (an audio recording in English).
At the Feet of The Mother
English
Sri Aurobindo once again brings us back to the central truth that this world is a progressive manifestation of the Spirit. It is the Divine who is expressing Himself through the symbol forms of the universe.

This talk is based on a passage from Savitri, where Sri Aurobindo describes the soul as a sailor voyaging through Time towards Eternity. The steps and stages of the journey are beautifully marked through significant images.
In her confirmed because transformed in her,
Our life shall find in its fulfilled response
Above, the boundless hushed beatitudes,
Below, the wonder of the embrace divine.
Savitri reveals that she has indeed assumed a human mask to redeem earth and humanity. But Death then argues that if she has indeed discovered her soul and the One Self in all things then she should turn away from earthly life. Savitri points to him that the two are not incompatible.

This talk is about the various aims of human life through which the soul moves along its evolutionary journey. This aim is not so much of a mental choice as of a growing unfolding of the Divine Script in man.
Climbing further from this dream land Aswapati enters a realm where day and night meet. The sun has not yet arisen but there is some kind of hope and guidance from the high heavens beyond. Out of the fantasy land we move into a realm that seeks to realise what it dreams of.
Paramatma is the Supreme Soul, or the Divine Being, the Infinite ocean of Love and Light and Peace and Bliss, the Omniscient, Omnipotent Reality behind all things, the stable unchanging immutable and eternal Truth that upholds the flux and flow of creation and nature.

Sri Aurobindo's poem 'Bride of the Fire" is very much Vedic in essence as well as in its occult and spiritual significance. The power of Fire (referred to here as the bride of Fire) is being invoked by the Seer-poet to uplift the entire being.
