The lines below are taken from Sri Aurobindo's epic poem Savitri- book I Canto Four- The Secret Knowledge. Line 2-17
Sri Aurobindo was a nineteenth century poet, philosopher, mystic yogi, freedom fighter and visionary from India. August 15th is his birthday as well as Independence Day of India.
I am posting them here for their poetic beauty and the hope and aspirations that these lines provide to the future of humanity. A title is given by me only for the sake of title.
Savita Tyagi
" Our early approaches to the Infinite
Are sunrise splendors on a marvelous verge
While lingers yet unseen the glorious sun.
What now we see is a shadow of what must come.
The earth's up-look to a remote Unknown
Is a preface only of the epic climb
Of human soul from its flat earthly state
To the discovery of a greater self
And the far gleam of an eternal Light.
This world is a Beginning and a base
Where Life and Mind erect their structured dreams;
An unborn Power must build reality.
A death-bound littleness is not all we are;
Immortal our forgotten vastness
Awaits discovery in our summit selves;
Unmeasured breadths and depths of being are ours.
Sri Aurobindo

Among the Modern Indian Philosophers, Sri Aurobindo has his name etched in the highest pedestal of Spirituality. His profound learning and wisdom can be understood only by a few philosophers who have delved deep into recesses of mind- power of the highest order. A great beginning, Savita ji to comprehend the vast philosophy of Sri Aurobindo. Looking forward....... :)
