A poem by Sri Aurobindo
All Nature is taught in radiant ways to move, All beings are in myself embraced. O fiery boundless Heart of joy and love, How art thou beating in a mortal's breast!
It is Thy rapture flaming through my nerves And all my cells and atoms thrill with Thee; My body Thy vessel is and only serves As a living wine-cup of Thy ecstasy.
I am a centre of Thy golden light And I its vast and vague circumference; Thou art my soul great, luminous and white And Thine my mind and will and glowing sense.
Thy spirit's infinite breath I feel in me; My life is a throb of Thy eternity.
Part VII : Pondicherry (Circa 1927-1947) > Sonnets from Manuscripts (Circa 1934-1947)
