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 Universal Incarnation

Know more >

There is a wisdom like a brooding Sun,
    A Bliss in the heart's crypt grown fiery white,
The heart of a world in which all hearts are one,
    A Silence on the mountains of delight,

A Calm that cradles Fate upon its knees;
    A wide Compassion leans to embrace earth's pain;
A Witness dwells within our secrecies,
    The incarnate Godhead in the body of man.

Our mind is a glimmering curtain of that Ray,
    Our strength a parody of the Immortal's power,
Our joy a dreamer on the Eternal's way
    Hunting the unseizable beauty of an hour.

Only on the heart's veiled door the word of flame
Is written, the secret and tremendous Name.
