Intense Fire and Flame of Savitri

The intense fire and Flame of Savitri:

A conscious frame was here, a self-born Force.

In this enigma of the dusk of God,

This slow and strange uneasy compromise

Of limiting Nature with a limitless Soul,

Where all must move between an ordered Chance

And an uncaring blind Necessity,

Too high the fire spiritual dare not blaze.

If once it met the intense original Flame,

An answering touch might shatter all measures made

And earth sink down with the weight of the Infinite.

Page 18, Savitri (A Legend, Symbol, the Mantric Epic of Sri Aurobindo), The Issue.

How is Savitri different from an ordinary earthbound human ? She is a Force, a power in touch with higher planes of consciousness. Her mold is fully conscious and active. An ordinary earth life is mysterious puzzle difficult to solve. We are in a twilight of God, where the light of truth and darkness of ignorance are almost equally balanced. At our current stage in evolution, the material world is restricting to a limitless soul such as Savitri. For her it is certainly a slow, strange and an uneasy compromise. The material world is governed by physical laws creating conditions of limitations under which a soul has to live when it takes birth here. On other hand not everything can be determined and predicted by these laws appearing like an ordered Chance. Between such 'ordered Chance' and 'an uncaring blind Necessity' of these physical laws, the fire of will and aspiration cannot risk to flame up too high. Thus even the fire of spiritual progress cannot dare to be ablaze under present limiting material conditions of Nature. If it is fully ablaze in present conditions and recieves unrestricted response from original Divine Flame, then it might break into pieces all measures of form and the entire material framework. Since consciousness evolves gradually via manifested form through ages, a too-soon and full descent of spiritual energy and power will shock the earth with its Infinite weight.

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri. "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

Album The Yoga of Synthesis Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...
