When the heavenly Psyche is discovered, the real journey begins, the Journey toward and then in the Real. Savitri is told to first find her soul, that she does in it her assigned work. The moment human Savitri got this divine command, ādéśa, in her anguished human plight, she stepped back from her surface soul and entered into the dream or swapna state. There she witnessed the entire cosmic Past and the march of evolution; she also saw how on the long scene arrived the apelike man, vānara, ready to become a fuller mental being, the manomaya puruşa proper, the leader of the embodied vital being. This bowed apelike creature gave rise, inevitably, to the human: man not the descendant of the Darwinian ape, but the son of Manu. This son of Manu descended upon earth when the human body was ready, the Upanishadic well-fashioned body into which the cosmic gods can do their work. All this happened when the apelike creature’s body became a fit instrument for such a descent to take place.

Savitri continues to move through the swapna state and sees the possibility a greater birth, that there can be a more beautiful expression past this human form. This agreeable being’s beautiful expression can reach his fount of immortality; he can call the Godhead into his mortal life. What was concealed in the cosmic past, in the time’s deep and obscure subconscience, in the brightsome bosom of time, got revealed to Savitri. But the wonderful revelation was that it was accompanied by the descent of a portion of the mighty Mother in this human part of hers. This is something absolutely marvellous and Savitri became the centre of action to mould the future.
