Savitri now reveals to Death how Light has been growing despite all the resistances. She reveals how God is slowly manifesting Himself through the process of evolution.
Death now attempts to create a gulf between creation and the Creator by stating that since Mind is man, therefore man is forever doomed to a life of division. All that we can do is to escape from earthly ties into some Heaven of peace and bliss.
Death once again tries to dissuade Savitri from holding on to her aspiration of perfecting earthly life. He wants to impress upon her the fruitlessness of the human toil.
Now the three, Savitri, Satyavan and Death turn towards the earth. That is the final ground where all things are tested. Here Savitri must prove the truth that She is revealing. This is the place where Truth must be established.
