A Tribute to Sri Aurobindo for his 150th Birth Centenary coming in one year on 15 August 2022. We have his own words on the beginning of his Ashram, his teachings of the Yoga Shakti, and some Ashramites' personal contacts with Sri Aurobindo and Mother.
Death falsely claims that love, wisdom, the Ideal, the immortal soul and God are all created by thought. And thought comes from a mind that comes from impermanent matter. When matter perishes, everything is gone. The only thing left is Death's everlasting sleep.
Death falsely claims that physical matter created the mind, but matter does not exist because everything is only energy, and therefore thought is worthless. He blames thinking for all the world's problems.
Savitri tells Death that they were man and woman from the first. They are twin souls, born from one undying fire. They have sought each other and been together through many lifetimes.
Death claims that Savitri's love for Satyavan is a hunger and a yearning of her body and her heart. Love cannot last because it has a thousand ways to suffer and die.
Death tries to stop Savitri with an attack on ideals. He says the world does not want to change and will never change.
Savitri travels in a happy, misty, twilight, dream-world of beautiful ideals and hopes which happily remain ever unfulfilled.
Savitri painfully accepts her own ignorance, and the faint beam of Immortal Light grows to replace the darkness on this part of Death's dark path.
Death responds to Savitri's statements that God is Love and He will remake Death's universe. He say there is no other God but he, and all come from Death and return to Death.
