Visions of Champaklal

Recitation of Savitri by Sri Aurobindo

1979-12-26

The flute is the symbol of the spiritual call or call of the Divine. Sri Krishna is connected with its playing—Sri Krishna who, is the Avatar from the Overmind plane. Champaklal has often heard the Divine's call from there—the magnetism of the spiritual consciousness. What is beyond the spiritual is the Supramental. Sri Aurobindo is the Avatar from the Supermind. The tune of an unknown instrument which may be called a super-flute is Sri Aurobindo's means of calling the soul. What this highest music means is symbolised by Sri Aurobindo's recitation of his “Savitri” which is the epic of the supreme truth descended on earth to save the evolving soul from the ignorance into which it has plunged and to transform the earth—conditions within which it evolves. The room which is called “the long passage” suggests the length of the inner endeavour towards the truth of the Supermind summoning the soul.
