Savitri, B. XI, C. I, Part 2
Savitri Sees The Supreme All-Consciousness
Savitri is in the bliss and light and beauty of God’s Everlasting Day. She was able to travel through the darkness of Night on Death’s road to his domain, where he was trying to take the soul of her beloved Satyavan. Death’s mask of darkness was vanquished by the Divine Mother. She incarnated in Savitri because Death asked to see her. Then all became God’s Light.
Now Savitri meets the living center and source of all higher planes and heavenly worlds. Night’s dim mask had grown a wonderful face. A secret splendor is revealed to her sight and a marvelous form responds to her gaze. When Savitri sees the Supreme, she sees that he is all of creation’s Grace and Glory, and all Divinity. He is Virat, the Creator and his Creation in one. Beyond she sees a third aspect of the Supreme, the Superconscience enclosed in Light, the Transcendent Cause of all.
Correction: In Part 1 of Book XI C I, there is an incorrect date for Sri Aurobindo’s statements about working in his body to get beyond the need for food. The correct source of his statements is in the Record of Yoga, Vol 1, on the date of Jan. 27, 1913. In Sri Aurobindo’s collected Works it is Volume 10, Record I, Page 219.
