Savitri Study Class 26-06 "The Word of the Supreme", pp. 694-696

Savitri, the embodied Divine Mother keeps Her Will of the Future and wants the transformation of earthly life into a life divine, here and now. The radiant godhead now bids her to rise beyond form into the Unmanifest Supreme where alone the Fiat of the supreme Word can be received. _________________ But the god answered to the woman’s heart: “O living power of the incarnate Word, All that the Spirit has dreamed thou canst create: Thou art the force by which I made the worlds, Thou art my vision and my will and voice. But knowledge too is thine, the world-plan thou knowest And the tardy process of the pace of Time. In the impetuous drive of thy heart of flame, In thy passion to deliver man and earth, Indignant at the impediments of Time And the slow evolution’s sluggard steps, Lead not the spirit in an ignorant world To dare too soon the adventure of the Light, Pushing the bound and slumbering god in man Awakened mid the ineffable silences Into endless vistas of the unknown and unseen, Across the last confines of the limiting Mind And the Superconscient’s perilous border line Into the danger of the Infinite. But if thou wilt not wait for Time and God, Do then thy work and force thy will on Fate. As I have taken from thee my load of night And taken from thee my twilight’s doubts and dreams, So now I take my light of utter Day. These are my symbol kingdoms but not here Can the great choice be made that fixes fate Or uttered the sanction of the Voice supreme. Arise upon a ladder of greater worlds To the infinity where no world can be. But not in the wide air where a greater Life Uplifts its mystery and its miracle, And not on the luminous peaks of summit Mind, Or in the hold where subtle Matter’s spirit Hides in its light of shimmering secrecies, Can there be heard the Eternal’s firm command That joins the head of destiny to its base. These only are the mediating links; Not theirs is the originating sight Nor the fulfilling act or last support That bears perpetually the cosmic pile. Two are the Powers that hold the ends of Time; Spirit foresees, Matter unfolds its thought, The dumb executor of God’s decrees, Omitting no iota and no dot, Agent unquestioning, inconscient, stark, Evolving inevitably a charged content, Intention of his force in Time and Space, In animate beings and inanimate things; Immutably it fulfils its ordered task, It cancels not a tittle of things done; Unswerving from the oracular command It alters not the steps of the Unseen. If thou must indeed deliver man and earth On the spiritual heights look down on life, Discover the truth of God and man and world; Then do thy task knowing and seeing all. Ascend, O soul, into thy timeless self; Choose destiny’s curve and stamp thy will on Time.” He ended and upon the falling sound A power went forth that shook the founded spheres And loosed the stakes that hold the tents of form. Absolved from vision’s grip and the folds of thought, Rapt from her sense like disappearing scenes In the stupendous theatre of Space The heaven-worlds vanished in spiritual light. A movement was abroad, a cry, a word, Beginningless in its vast discovery, Momentless in its unthinkable return: Choired in calm seas she heard the eternal Thought Rhythming itself abroad unutterably In spaceless orbits and on timeless roads. In an ineffable world she lived fulfilled. An energy of the triune Infinite, In a measureless Reality she dwelt, A rapture and a being and a force, A linked and myriad-motioned plenitude, A virgin unity, a luminous spouse, Housing a multitudinous embrace To marry all in God’s immense delight, Bearing the eternity of every spirit, Bearing the burden of universal love, A wonderful mother of unnumbered souls. All things she knew, all things imagined or willed: Her ear was opened to ideal sound, Shape the convention bound no more her sight, A thousand doors of oneness was her heart. A crypt and sanctuary of brooding light Appeared, the last recess of things beyond. Then in its rounds the enormous fiat paused, Silence gave back to the Unknowable All it had given. Still was her listening thought. The form of things had ceased within her soul. Invisible that perfect godhead now. _________________ Savitri Study Class with Alok Pandey, Book 11 Canto 1.
