Meditations on Savitri Book 2 Canto 14

Savitri Book 2 Canto 14 - The World-Soul

In a far-shimmering background of Mind-Space
A glowing mouth was seen, a luminous shaft;
A recluse-gate it seemed, musing on joy,
A veiled retreat and escape to mystery. ||75.2||
As if a message from the world’s deep soul,
An intimation of lurking joy
That flowed out from a cup of brooding bliss,
There shimmered stealing out into the Mind
A mute and quivering ecstasy of light,
A passion and delicacy of roseate fire. ||75.5||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 14 - The World-Soul

Along a road of a pure interior light,
Alone between tremendous Presences,
Under the watching eyes of nameless Gods,
His soul passed on, a single conscious power...
To the source of all things human and divine. ||77.15||
There he beheld in their mighty union’s poise
The figure of the deathless Two-in-One,
A single being in two bodies clasped,
A diarchy of two united souls,
Seated absorbed in deep creative joy; ||77.16||
Behind them in a morning dusk One stood
Who brought them forth from the Unknowable. ||77.17||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 14 - The World-Soul

His spirit was made a vessel of her force;
Mute in the fathomless passion of his will
He outstretched to her his folded hands of prayer. ||77.21||

He fell down at her feet unconscious, prone. ||77.26||
