Pictures of Sri Aurobindo's poems

To the Sea

Read poem >

   Take me, be
My way to climb the heavens, thou rude great sea.
   I will seize thy mane,
O lion, I will tame thee and disdain;
   Or else below
Into thy salt abysmal caverns go,
   Receive thy weight
Upon me and be stubborn as my fate.
   I come, O sea,
To measure my enormous self with thee.

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: To the Sea

The Mother explained to me this picture on the 6th April 1967. But now she was not doing any sketches. She only sketched the first painting. The rest she left to the inspiration. I was confused. But the Mother set things right by telling me this:

"Child, keep everything ready before your easel. Then concentrate. The inspiration which hovers over your head will come through your hand and you can do your work."

Then she pressed my hands in order to give me her Force.
