Sri Aurobindo

This volume consists of all poems in English including sonnets, lyrical poems, narrative poems, and metrical experiments in various forms. All such poems published by Sri Aurobindo during his lifetime are included here, as well as poems found among his manuscripts after his passing. Sri Aurobindo worked on these poems over the course of seven decades. The first one was published in 1883 when he was ten; a number of poems were written or revised more than sixty years later, in the late 1940s.

The Guest

Know more >

I have discovered my deep deathless being:
    Masked by my front of mind, immense, serene
It meets the world with an Immortal's seeing,
    A god-spectator of the human scene.

No pain and sorrow of the heart and flesh
    Can tread that pure and voiceless sanctuary.
Danger and fear, Fate's hounds, slipping their leash
    Rend body and nerve,—the timeless Spirit is free.

Awake, God's ray and witness in my breast,
    In the undying substance of my soul
Flamelike, inscrutable the almighty Guest.
    Death nearer comes and Destiny takes her toll;

He hears the blows that shatter Nature's house:
Calm sits he, formidable, luminous.
