Savitri Book 2 Canto 1 - The World-Stair
There walled apart by its own innerness In a mystical barrage of dynamic light He saw a lone immense high-curved world-pile Erect like a mountain chariot of the Gods Motionless under an inscrutable sky. ||26.1||
Once in the vigil of a deathless gaze These grades had marked her giant downward plunge, The wide and prone leap of a godhead’s fall. ||26.14|| Our life is a holocaust of the Supreme. ||26.15|| The great World-Mother by her sacrifice Has made her soul the body of our state; ||26.16||
The divine intention suddenly shall be seen, The end vindicate intuition’s sure technique. ||26.23||
This faint and fluid sketch of soul called man Shall stand out on the background of long Time A glowing epitome of eternity, A little point reveal the infinitudes. ||26.25||
A slow reversal’s movement then took place: A gas belched out from some invisible Fire, Of its dense rings were formed these million stars; Upon earth’s new-born soil God’s tread was heard. ||26.28||
A miracle of the Absolute was born, Infinity put on a finite soul, All ocean lived within a wandering drop, A time-made body housed the Illimitable. ||26.32|| To live this Mystery out our souls came here. ||26.33||
A figure sole on Nature’s giant stair, He mounted towards an indiscernible end On the bare summit of created things. ||27.7||
