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.

Above, the boundless hushed beatitudes,
Below, the wonder of the embrace divine.
