Savitri, B. XI, C. I, Part 5
Savitri keeps her will to save the world and man.
The Supreme has suggested that Savitri pass into Infinity with Satyavan. Now Savitri replies, “In vain thou temptst with solitary bliss two spirits saved out of a suffering world; … To raise the the world to God in deathless Light, to bring God down to the world on earth we came, to change the earthly life to life Divine”. The Supreme says that mankind is not ready for a rapid change. He cautions Savitri, “Lead not the spirit in an ignorant world to dare too soon the adventure of the Light.” He tells Savitri not to descend to earth; but to rise to spiritual heights, and to do her work from far beyond beyond the material world and the heavenly worlds. Savitri is the World-Mother who bears the eternity of every spirit, and she asks everything from the Supreme to bring down to earth for all mankind.
