Savitri reveals to us the story of the human soul as it climbs through a series of challenges, oppositions and denials.
At the Feet of The Mother

In this yoga one needs faith that the Divine exists and will reveal Himself in response to our sincere aspiration by His own Grace. Once this fundamental faith is there, a thousand failures cannot stop him achieving the goal.
Savitri is a mantra that reveals itself as the recipient consciousness becomes quiet and open to its influence. Savitri is, as the Mother reveals, a mantra of transformation.
Many parts of our being are not open to the Divine, and we have to persist until they open too. Absence of fear and a complete surrender are the best conditions to be in whatever are the outer circumstances, and facilitate a wide opening.
Spiritual thought has leaned towards the immobile witness Self and hence has discarded nature. On the other hand secular efforts have tended to discover the secrets of nature and make life perfect with these discoveries. Sri Aurobindo synthesizes the two in a harmonious oneness.
Ordinarily Self-realisation is considered as the highest goal. It brings mukti, freedom from Ignorance. But for Sri Aurobindo this is only a starting point for going still beyond.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Man is a depot of contraries. Himself in bonds he dreams of freedom; himself imperfect he aspires for a perfect world. This is so because man has a double nature. On the one side he has something in him that has descended from the heights, the immortal soul.
Through this constant stretching out of the limits the soul of man is destined to pass one day into what exceeds him.
Taking the truth of Vedanta as its base, Sri Aurobindo reveals us the Truth of future and the way of its manifestation. The whole creation is created by Ananda, dwelling in Ananda and proceeding towards Ananda. We have to realize the delight of the Divine in the essence as well as in the manifestation.
