The splendour of her native royalty,
Her greatness and her sweetness and her bliss,
Her might to possess and her vast power to love:
Earth made a stepping-stone to conquer heaven
She laid the secrecies of her heart's deep muse
Upon the altar of the Wonderful;
Her hours were a ritual in a timeless fane;
Her acts became gestures of sacrifice.
One of the biggest knots and gaps in our spiritual understanding is with the material world itself. Why and how it has all come into existence. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have a luminous answer to this cosmic riddle.
