Meditations on Savitri Book 2 Canto 11


Savitri Book 2 Canto 11 - The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Mind

His privilege regained of shadowless sight
The Thinker entered the immortals’ air
And drank again his pure and mighty source. ||70.31||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 11 - The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Mind

In gleaming clarities of amethyst air
The chainless and omnipotent Spirit of Mind
Brooded on the blue lotus of the Idea. ||70.34||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 11 - The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Mind

A triple realm of ordered thought came first,
A small beginning of immense ascent: ||71.1||
The mighty wardens of the ascending stair
Who intercede with the all-creating Word,
There waited for the pilgrim heaven-bound soul;
Holding the thousand keys of the Beyond
They proffered their knowledge to the climbing mind
And filled the life with Thought’s immensities. ||71.5||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 11 - The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Mind

In front of the ascending epiphany
World-Time’s enjoyers, favourites of World-Bliss,...
Creators of Matter by hid stress of Mind
Whose subtle thoughts support unconscious Life
And guide the fantasy of brute events,
Stood there, a race of young keen-visioned Gods,
King-children born on Wisdom’s early plane,
Taught in her school world-making’s mystic play. ||71.10||

Above stood ranked a subtle archangel race
With larger lids and looks that searched the unseen. ||71.24||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 11 - The Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Mind

In a sublimer and more daring soar
To the wide summit of the triple stairs
Bare steps climbed up like glowing rocks of gold
Burning their way to a pure absolute sky. ||71.42||
