Savitri's foresight of Satyavan's approaching death brings grief. Her world of rapture becomes suffering and pain. Her grief is the food of mighty love. Now her life's sole aim is to be with Satyavan, to love him and receive more of his love before he dies.
The Spirit is one everywhere and it knows all things as itself and in itself. In our own spiritual freedom is a self-truth to evolve according to its own nature.
The Origin and reality of our universe is Delight of perfect Oneness of the creation with its Creator. Division from our source makes ignorance which makes suffering. What is true in essence must necessarily become true in manifestation; we can do this now
We must always be ready to abandon the past (as well as desire) and accept more light and truth. The faith of the heart will pass into knowledge; the spirit is omnipotent. Reject any mere intellectual skeptism. A constant faith is indispensable.
Savitri's parents bring her back to the wild forest to marry Satyavan. Her past receded and her future neared. Savitri put behind all her life and welcomed all that would be his life and hers. So close to death, apart with love, she lived for love alone.

Soul faith is indispensable to the action of the being. Without it man cannot move a single pace in life, much less take any step forward. Whatever he has the faith to see as possible in himself and strive for, that he can create and become.
If we go outside time and space we return to the Unmainfest. To be victorious over the world's misery, corruption and falsehood - much harder to do - we need the Supramental Consciousness, the endless Delight which is power, endurance and supreme courage.
"O man, the events that meet thee on thy road, though they smite thy body and soul with joy and grief, are not thy fate,- they touch thee awhile and pass: even death can cut not short thy spirit's walk: thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate."
Surrender of ourself to the Shakti is actually a form of real self-surrender to the Divine. ... All our consciousness is his consciousness ... finally there is only the conscious activity in us of the Divine.
