The Ascent of Sight in Sri Aurobindo's Savitri

5.Divine's Cosmic Vision:

The manifestation begins; the worlds are created. The passive Sachchidananda is now in his role of all-watching, all-governing Cosmic Purusha. To quote Sri Aurobindo: "The Brahman-consciousness [in this case]... is not the Absolute withdrawn into itself, but that Absolute in its outlook on the relative; it is the Lord, the Master-Soul, the governing Transcendent and All..." (SABCL, Vol. 12, p. 198) He is the samam Brahma, "the Brahman with unbounded equal vision" of the Gita. Here are some Savitri verses which strikingly bring out this impartial all-governing vision of the Divine in his dealing with the cosmos:

(1)"Heaven's fixed regard beholds him from above"

(336)

(2)"Impartial fell its gaze on evil and good" (283)

(3)"All things he sees with calm indifferent gaze"

(646)

(4)"He is the one infinite Person seeing this world"

(656)

(5)"... Cosmic Being at his task" (416)

(6)"Calm eyes divine regard the human scene" (482)

(7)"A wide unshaken look at Time's unrest" (36)

(8)"Outspread beneath some large indifferent gaze,

Impartial witness to our joy and bale" (5)
