[The Dance of Life] A Savitri Yagna class, with Dr. Alok Pandey reading lines from Sri Aurobindo's 'Savitri' and reflecting on them (in Hindi). Recorded on June 7, 2026. We read the following lines today: 'This, once a star of bright remote idea Or imagination's comet trail of dream, Took now a close shape of reality. The gulf between dream-truth, earth-fact was crossed, The wonder-worlds of life were dreams no more; His vision made all they unveiled its own: Their scenes, their happenings met his eyes and heart And smote them with pure loveliness and bliss. A breathless summit region drew his gaze Whose boundaries jutted into a sky of Self And dipped towards a strange ethereal base. The quintessence glowed of Life's supreme delight. On a spiritual and mysterious peak Only a miracle's high transfiguring line Divided life from the formless Infinite And sheltered Time against eternity. Out of that formless stuff Time mints his shapes; The Eternal's quiet holds the cosmic act: The protean images of the World-Force Have drawn the strength to be, the will to last From a deep ocean of dynamic peace. Inverting the spirit's apex towards life, She spends the plastic liberties of the One To cast in acts the dreams of her caprice, His wisdom's call steadies her careless feet, He props her dance upon a rigid base, His timeless still immutability Must standardise her creation's miracle. Out of the Void's unseeing energies Inventing the scene of a concrete universe, By his thought she has fixed its paces, in its blind acts She sees by flashes of his all-knowing Light. At her will the inscrutable Supermind leans down To guide her force that feels but cannot know, Its breath of power controls her restless seas And life obeys the governing Idea. At her will, led by a luminous Immanence The hazardous experimenting Mind Pushes its way through obscure possibles Mid chance formations of an unknowing world. Our human ignorance moves towards the Truth That Nescience may become omniscient, Transmuted instincts shape to divine thoughts, Thoughts house infallible immortal sight And Nature climb towards God's identity. The Master of the worlds self-made her slave Is the executor of her fantasies: She has canalised the seas of omnipotence; She has limited by her laws the Illimitable. The Immortal bound himself to do her works; He labours at the tasks her Ignorance sets, Hidden in the cape of our mortality. The worlds, the forms her goddess fancy makes Have lost their origin on unseen heights: Even severed, straying from their timeless source, Even deformed, obscure, accursed and fallen,— Since even fall has its perverted joy And nothing she leaves out that serves delight,— These too can to the peaks revert or here Cut out the sentence of the spirit's fall, Recover their forfeited divinity.' * A talk by Dr Alok Pandey.
