ID English Deutsch Zeile
2400 In the little hermitage in the forest's heart, 1
2401 In the sunlight and the moonlight and the dark 2
2402 The daily human life went plodding on 3
2403 Even as before with its small unchanging works 4
2404 And its spare outward body of routine 5
2405 And happy quiet of ascetic peace. 6
2406 The old beauty smiled of the terrestrial scene; 7
2407 She too was her old gracious self to men. 8
2408 The Ancient Mother clutched her child to her breast 9
2409 Pressing her close in her environing arms, 10
2410 As if earth ever the same could for ever keep 11
2411 The living spirit and body in her clasp, 12
2412 As if death were not there nor end nor change. 13
2413 Accustomed only to read outward signs 14
2414 None saw aught new in her, none divined her state; 15
2415 They saw a person where was only God's vast, 16
2416 A still being or a mighty nothingness. 17
2417 To all she was the same perfect Savitri: 18
2418 A greatness and a sweetness and a light 19
2419 Poured out from her upon her little world. 20
2420 Life showed to all the same familiar face, 21
2421 Her acts followed the old unaltered round, 22
2422 She spoke the words that she was wont to speak 23
2423 And did the things that she had always done. 24
2424 Her eyes looked out on earth's unchanging face, 25
2425 Around her soul's muteness all moved as of old; 26
2426 A vacant consciousness watched from within, 27
2427 Empty of all but bare Reality. 28
2428 There was no will behind the word and act, 29
2429 No thought formed in her brain to guide the speech: 30
2430 An impersonal emptiness walked and spoke in her, 31
2431 Something perhaps unfelt, unseen, unknown 32
2432 Guarded the body for its future work, 33
2433 Or Nature moved in her old stream of force. 34
2434 Perhaps she bore made conscious in her breast 35
2435 The miraculous Nihil, origin of our souls 36
2436 And source and sum of the vast world's events, 37
2437 The womb and grave of thought, a cipher of God, 38
2438 A zero circle of being's totality. 39
2439 It used her speech and acted in her acts, 40
2440 It was beauty in her limbs, life in her breath; 41
2441 The original Mystery wore her human face. 42
2442 Thus was she lost within to separate self; 43
2443 Her mortal ego perished in God's night. 44
2444 Only a body was left, the ego's shell 45
2445 Afloat mid drift and foam of the world-sea, 46
2446 A sea of dream watched by a motionless sense 47
2447 In a figure of unreal reality. 48
2448 An impersonal foresight could already see,— 49
2449 In the unthinking knowledge of the spirit 50
2450 Even now it seemed nigh done, inevitable,— 51
2451 The individual die, the cosmos pass; 52
2452 These gone, the transcendental grew a myth, 53
2453 The Holy Ghost without the Father and Son, 54
2454 Or, a substratum of what once had been, 55
2455 Being that never willed to bear a world 56
2456 Restored to its original loneliness, 57
2457 Impassive, sole, silent, intangible. 58
2458 Yet all was not extinct in this deep loss; 59
2459 The being travelled not towards nothingness. 60
2460 There was some high surpassing Secrecy, 61
2461 And when she sat alone with Satyavan, 62
2462 Her moveless mind with his that searched and strove, 63
2463 In the hush of the profound and intimate night 64
2464 She turned to the face of a veiled voiceless Truth 65
2465 Hid in the dumb recesses of the heart 66
2466 Or waiting beyond the last peak climbed by Thought,— 67
2467 Unseen itself it sees the struggling world 68
2468 And prompts our quest, but cares not to be found,— 69
2469 Out of that distant Vast came a reply. 70
2470 Something unknown, unreached, inscrutable 71
2471 Sent down the messages of its bodiless Light, 72
2472 Cast lightning flashes of a thought not ours 73
2473 Crossing the immobile silence of her mind: 74
2474 In its might of irresponsible sovereignty 75
2475 It seized on speech to give those flamings shape, 76
2476 Made beat the heart of wisdom in a word 77
2477 And spoke immortal things through mortal lips. 78
2478 Or, listening to the sages of the woods, 79
2479 In question and in answer broke from her 80
2480 High strange revealings impossible to men, 81
2481 Something or someone secret and remote 82
2482 Took hold of her body for his mystic use, 83
2483 Her mouth was seized to channel ineffable truths, 84
2484 Knowledge unthinkable found an utterance. 85
2485 Astonished by a new enlightenment, 86
2486 Invaded by a streak of the Absolute, 87
2487 They marvelled at her, for she seemed to know 88
2488 What they had only glimpsed at times afar. 89
2489 These thoughts were formed not in her listening brain, 90
2490 Her vacant heart was like a stringless harp; 91
2491 Impassive the body claimed not its own voice, 92
2492 But let the luminous greatness through it pass. 93
2493 A dual Power at being's occult poles 94
2494 Still acted, nameless and invisible: 95
2495 Her divine emptiness was their instrument. 96
2496 Inconscient Nature dealt with the world it had made, 97
2497 And using still the body's instruments 98
2498 Slipped through the conscious void she had become; 99
2499 The superconscient Mystery through that Void 100
2500 Missioned its word to touch the thoughts of men. 101
2501 As yet this great impersonal speech was rare. 102
2502 But now the unmoving wide spiritual space 103
2503 In which her mind survived tranquil and bare, 104
2504 Admitted a traveller from the cosmic breadths: 105
2505 A thought came through draped as an outer voice. 106
2506 It called not for the witness of the mind, 107
2507 It spoke not to the hushed receiving heart; 108
2508 It came direct to the pure perception's seat, 109
2509 An only centre now of consciousness, 110
2510 If centre could be where all seemed only space; 111
2511 No more shut in by body's walls and gates 112
2512 Her being, a circle without circumference, 113
2513 Already now surpassed all cosmic bounds 114
2514 And more and more spread into infinity. 115
2515 This being was its own unbounded world, 116
2516 A world without form or feature or circumstance; 117
2517 It had no ground, no wall, no roof of thought, 118
2518 Yet saw itself and looked on all around 119
2519 In a silence motionless and illimitable. 120
2520 There was no person there, no centred mind, 121
2521 No seat of feeling on which beat events 122
2522 Or objects wrought and shaped reaction's stress. 123
2523 There was no motion in this inner world, 124
2524 All was a still and even infinity. 125
2525 In her the Unseen, the Unknown waited his hour. 126
2526 But now she sat by sleeping Satyavan, 127
2527 Awake within, and the enormous Night 128
2528 Surrounded her with the Unknowable's vast. 129
2529 A voice began to speak from her own heart 130
2530 That was not hers, yet mastered thought and sense. 131
2531 As it spoke all changed within her and without; 132
2532 All was, all lived; she felt all being one; 133
2533 The world of unreality ceased to be: 134
2534 There was no more a universe built by mind, 135
2535 Convicted as a structure or a sign; 136
2536 A spirit, a being saw created things 137
2537 And cast itself into unnumbered forms 138
2538 And was what it saw and made; all now became 139
2539 An evidence of one stupendous truth, 140
2540 A Truth in which negation had no place, 141
2541 A being and a living consciousness, 142
2542 A stark and absolute Reality. 143
2543 There the unreal could not find a place, 144
2544 The sense of unreality was slain: 145
2545 There all was conscious, made of the Infinite, 146
2546 All had a substance of Eternity. 147
2547 Yet this was the same Indecipherable; 148
2548 It seemed to cast from it universe like a dream 149
2549 Vanishing for ever into an original Void. 150
2550 But this was no more some vague ubiquitous point 151
2551 Or a cipher of vastness in unreal Nought. 152
2552 It was the same but now no more seemed far 153
2553 To the living clasp of her recovered soul. 154
2554 It was her self, it was the self of all, 155
2555 It was the reality of existing things, 156
2556 It was the consciousness of all that lived 157
2557 And felt and saw; it was Timelessness and Time, 158
2558 It was the Bliss of formlessness and form. 159
2559 It was all Love and the one Beloved's arms, 160
2560 It was sight and thought in one all-seeing Mind, 161
2561 It was joy of Being on the peaks of God. 162
2562 She passed beyond Time into eternity, 163
2563 Slipped out of space and became the Infinite; 164
2564 Her being rose into unreachable heights 165
2565 And found no end of its journey in the Self. 166
2566 It plunged into the unfathomable deeps 167
2567 And found no end to the silent mystery 168
2568 That held all world within one lonely breast, 169
2569 Yet harboured all creation's multitudes. 170
2570 She was all vastness and one measureless point, 171
2571 She was a height beyond heights, a depth beyond depths, 172
2572 She lived in the everlasting and was all 173
2573 That harbours death and bears the wheeling hours. 174
2574 All contraries were true in one huge spirit 175
2575 Surpassing measure, change and circumstance. 176
2576 An individual, one with cosmic self 177
2577 In the heart of the Transcendent's miracle 178
2578 And the secret of World-personality 179
2579 Was the creator and the lord of all. 180
2580 Mind was a single innumerable look 181
2581 Upon himself and all that he became. 182
2582 Life was his drama and the Vast a stage, 183
2583 The universe was his body, God its soul. 184
2584 All was one single immense reality, 185
2585 All its innumerable phenomenon. 186
2586 Her spirit saw the world as living God; 187
2587 It saw the One and knew that all was He. 188
2588 She knew him as the Absolute's self-space, 189
2589 One with her self and ground of all things here 190
2590 In which the world wanders seeking for the Truth 191
2591 Guarded behind its face of ignorance: 192
2592 She followed him through the march of endless Time. 193
2593 All Nature's happenings were events in her, 194
2594 The heart-beats of the cosmos were her own, 195
2595 All beings thought and felt and moved in her; 196
2596 She inhabited the vastness of the world, 197
2597 Its distances were her nature's boundaries, 198
2598 Its closenesses her own life's intimacies. 199
2599 Her mind became familiar with its mind, 200
2600 Its body was her body's larger frame 201
2601 In which she lived and knew herself in it 202
2602 One, multitudinous in its multitudes. 203
2603 She was a single being, yet all things; 204
2604 The world was her spirit's wide circumference, 205
2605 The thoughts of others were her intimates, 206
2606 Their feelings close to her universal heart, 207
2607 Their bodies her many bodies kin to her; 208
2608 She was no more herself but all the world. 209
2609 Out of the infinitudes all came to her, 210
2610 Into the infinitudes sentient she spread, 211
2611 Infinity was her own natural home. 212
2612 Nowhere she dwelt, her spirit was everywhere, 213
2613 The distant constellations wheeled round her; 214
2614 Earth saw her born, all worlds were her colonies, 215
2615 The greater worlds of life and mind were hers; 216
2616 All Nature reproduced her in its lines, 217
2617 Its movements were large copies of her own. 218
2618 She was the single self of all these selves, 219
2619 She was in them and they were all in her. 220
2620 This first was an immense identity 221
2621 In which her own identity was lost: 222
2622 What seemed herself was an image of the Whole. 223
2623 She was a subconscient life of tree and flower, 224
2624 The outbreak of the honied buds of spring; 225
2625 She burned in the passion and splendour of the rose, 226
2626 She was the red heart of the passion-flower, 227
2627 The dream-white of the lotus in its pool. 228
2628 Out of subconscient life she climbed to mind, 229
2629 She was thought and the passion of the world's heart, 230
2630 She was the godhead hid in the heart of man, 231
2631 She was the climbing of his soul to God. 232
2632 The cosmos flowered in her, she was its bed. 233
2633 She was Time and the dreams of God in Time; 234
2634 She was Space and the wideness of his days. 235
2635 From this she rose where Time and Space were not; 236
2636 The superconscient was her native air, 237
2637 Infinity was her movement's natural space; 238
2638 Eternity looked out from her on Time. 239
