Reflections on Savitri by Jhumur-di RS 115 || p. 122

Reading Sri Aurobindo's 'Savitri' with Jhumur Bhattacharya. The video was recorded on June 13, 2026. The following passage was covered: BOOK TWO: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds Canto Three: The Glory and the Fall of Life, page 122: 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. At once caught in an eternal vision’s sweep He saw her pride and splendour of highborn zones And her regions crouching in the nether deeps. Above was a monarchy of unfallen self, Beneath was the gloomy trance of the abyss, An opposite pole or dim antipodes. There were vasts of the glory of life’s absolutes: All laughed in a safe immortality And an eternal childhood of the soul Before darkness came and pain and grief were born Where all could dare to be themselves and one And Wisdom played in sinless innocence With naked Freedom in Truth’s happy sun. There were worlds of her laughter and dreadful irony, There were fields of her taste of toil and strife and tears; Her head lay on the breast of amorous Death, Sleep imitated awhile extinction’s peace. The light of God she has parted from his dark To test the savour of bare opposites. Here mingling in man’s heart their tones and hues Have woven his being’s mutable design, His life a forward-rippling stream in Time, His nature’s constant fixed mobility, His soul a moving picture’s changeful film, His cosmos-chaos of personality. * YouTube playlist navigation: https://auromaa.org/youtube-playlists/ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/5z25yJQGWCISyO9D0BJxsD Apple Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/auromaa-daily/id1689558152 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/70a...
