Human Savitri remains helpless in a downcast mood. But she is attentive enough to receive the summons from her summit’s being. Her melancholy itself thus becomes a yogic state; it becomes Vishad Yoga, the Yoga of Dejection with the Siddhi of the Grief’s Self becoming calm. She is reminded of the mission she has come to carry out. First she should find out her soul and make in it all her actions the actions of God. She must possess the might that conquers Death. Savitri at once obeys the directive and with that begins her occult inward journey. She witnesses the play of the subconscient forces and also the possibilities that can bring the gods down. If out of Matter and Life emerged Mind, so can a being with diviner faculties arrive here. To mould humanity in God’s shape or discover a new world or create a new world are present as three alternatives and Savitri becomes the centre for the action. In the last alternative the creation established in the House of the Spirit shall become manifest. But for any of these to happen it is essential that first the heavenly soul should be found.

Beyond the Creation, beyond Sachchidananda, beyond the manifest Reality Savitri has reached the ultimate Supreme, Paratpara, the Absolute or the utter Unmanifest, Greater Darkness of the Upanishad wherefrom no return is possible. Had she merged into it it would have been a total laya, dissolution, and her mission would have been on the whole lost. This is a delicate situation, dangerous, but a necessary experience also in her yogic pursuit, that all that is this Nature’s must disappear. By dissolution she would have crossed the realms of death; but Savitri has to enjoy immortality in birth. Her connection with this world is age-old, ancient, and the little hermitage and the forest and the human life have a meaning in her transcendental realization. The Spirit of the Earth would not allow her to depart, disappear altogether. She is all that which holds death and supports the cycles of existence. The creation is a part of that Reality and the functioning its well-meant movement. Savitri has become the full divine Shakti, the Transcendental’s Force working in Space and Time.
