Fate (Savitri, Part Two, Book Seven) Poem by Sri Aurobindo

Fate (Savitri, Part Two, Book Seven)

Rating: 5.0


Fate followed her foreseen immutable road.
Man's hopes and longings build the journeying wheels
That bear the body of his destiny
And lead his blind will towards an unknown goal.
His fate within him shapes his acts and rules;
Its face and form already are born in him,
Its parentage is in his secret soul:
Here Matter seems to mould the body's life
And the soul follows where its nature drives.
Nature and Fate compel his free-will's choice.
But greater spirits this balance can reverse
And make the soul the artist of its fate.
This is the mystic truth our ignorance hides:

But greater spirits this balance can reverse and make the soul artist of his fate. Beautiful narration for man being master of his destiny with faith in God guiding his path.
