A poem by Sri Aurobindo
I have thrown from me the whirling dance of mind And stand now in the spirit's silence free; Timeless and deathless beyond creature kind, The centre of my own eternity.
I have escaped and the small self is dead; I am immortal, alone, ineffable; I have gone out from the universe I made, And have grown nameless and immeasurable.
My mind is hushed in wide and endless light, My heart a solitude of delight and peace, My sense unsnared by touch and sound and sight, My body a point in white infinities.
I am the one Being's sole immobile Bliss: No one I am, I who am all that is.
Part VII : Pondicherry (Circa 1927-1947) > Sonnets from Manuscripts (Circa 1934-1947)
