Sessions with Savitri—Open Page: June 2009

by RY Deshpande on Mon 22 Jun 2009 06:21 AM IST | Permanent Link | Cosmos

We have been looking into the opening canto of Sri Aurobindo’s epic Savitri, The Symbol Dawn, almost for the last six months and yet it seems to elude us all the while. Indeed, it does elude us all the while because at least an element of perception is needed to have access in its realms of gold. There are in it depths below shining depths, and heights above splendid heights, and far-extending luminous occult ranges that are the parts of the transcendent itself, and one has to have contact with them to make further progress in the limitlessness of its infinity. That we don’t have—but that is precisely what Savitri gives us; its Word has the power to usher in divine experience in us. And the Word has thought-knowledge in it, and it has the capacity to open our sight to the visions of the beyond, those that are ardently waiting into us, and the sense of its sound carries the rhythms of the dynamic Truth that sets the worlds into motion. But that Word can be ours only when we allow it to settle in our consciousness of deep hush, in the soul of aspiring will, in the spirit of widening knowledge.

Therefore these some 200 posts related with the Symbol Dawn should be taken only as the first attempt, more or less in the nature of a draft ready to be used again and again for seeing its multidimensional riches. It will be perhaps necessary to reorganize the material to form a basis for further work. In fact it should be done. I will be very happy if the lovers of Savitri can come forward towards this collective participation. It will be a joint collaborative effort which can go in several directions, for instance, presenting the Dawn audio-visually, tracing the history of the earth, narrating the story of the creation, unfolding the future awaiting the possibilities of the spirit in our moods and manners and measures of thought and feeling and will, fulfilling our deeper urges in it. The scope is unlimited and it will entirely depend upon our creativity.

As one way of initiating this multilogue we open here a new page entitled Sessions with Savitri. Those who are interested can freely put their ideas, thoughts, suggestions specifically connected with Savitri, not only for discussion but also for deeper reflection. It will be a collective gain and, in fact, a way of living in Savitri who shall give us the truth and the things of the truth. To begin with, here is the compilation of the comments that were made recently.

I would like to ask you about the last two pages of the Canto The Soul's Choice and the Supreme Consummation:

A face was over her which seemed a youth’s,

Symbol of all the beauty eyes see not,

Crowned as with peacock plumes of gorgeous hue

Framing a sapphire, whose heart-disturbing smile

Insatiably attracted to delight,

Voluptuous to the embraces of her soul.

Changed in its shape, yet rapturously the same,

It grew a woman’s dark and beautiful

Like a mooned night with drifting star-gemmed clouds,

A shadowy glory and a stormy depth,

Turbulent in will and terrible in love.

My questions are:

1. Is the "face which seemed of a youth's" the face of the Supreme or the Universal Lord the Fourfold Being? And what is the significance of it descending with Savitri?

2. What is the significance of

Changed in its shape, yet rapturously the same,
It grew a woman’s dark and beautiful [?]

Auroman on Wed 03 Jun 2009 06:21 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

RYD can correct me if I am wrong.

This seems like a description of the birth of the Avatar. The Avatar's descent is being described is through the planes of consciousness onto Earth. The "face of youth..which turns into a woman's" is the face that accompanies the Avatar - it is the face of the Divine, an insignia so to speak.

At the beginning of the Canto, Savitri has a dialogue with the Supreme

Then there is the vision of the work to be accomplished—the descent of the Supermind —as seen from pp. 698-710:

O Satyavan, O luminous Savitri,

I sent you forth of old beneath the stars,

A dual power of God in an ignorant world,

In a hedged creation shut from limitless self,

Bringing down God to the insentient globe,

Lifting earth-beings to immortality.

On p. 711, this vision ends and the descent into a human body begins:

The measure of that subtle music ceased.

Down with a hurried swimming floating lapse

Through unseen worlds and bottomless spaces forced

Sank like a star the soul of Savitri.

On p. 712, the descent into an earthly body is described:

And near attraction of the earth compelled

Fearful rapidities of downward bliss.

Lost in the giddy proneness of that speed,

Whirled, sinking, overcome she disappeared,

Like a leaf spinning from the tree of heaven,

In broad unconsciousness as in a pool;

A hospitable softness drew her in

Into a wonder of miraculous depths,

Above her closed a darkness of great wings

And she was buried in a mother's breast.

RY Deshpande on Wed 03 Jun 2009 03:04 PM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

Discussions at Krishna-Kali 1 and Krishna-Kali 2 might be helpful. Both also carry the following paragraphs:

During the Record-period 1912-20 we see the Krishna-Kali aspect occurring repeatedly as the most fundamental experience of Sri Aurobindo in the context of the Spirit’s dynamism in life. In his noting dated 1 January 1915 he writes: “Kali is now everywhere revealed in the bhāva of the madhur dāsī dominated by Krishna and administering to his bhoga.” Then, again, in February 1920: Krishna Kali relation founded on madhura dāsya is the foundation of tapas siddhi, the power to change the world. In fact the fourth Chatushtaya is full of it. Krishna taking delight in the world, Kali carrying out Lila according to the pleasure of the Ishwara, Divine Action and Divine Enjoyment form the entire basis of this divine dynamism in the creation. Belonging to the same period we also have the early draft of Savitri in which the coming down of Krishna and Kali figures as the finest thing that can happen to us. It is with that most excellent boon that Savitri returns to earth with the soul of Satyavan:

Pursuing her in her fall implacably sweet

A face was over her which seemed a youth’s

Crowned as with peacock plumes of gorgeous hue

Framing a sapphire, whose heart-disturbing smile

Insatiably attracted to delight.

Often it changed, though rapturously the same,

And seemed a woman’s dark and beautiful,

Turbulent in will and terrible in love,

A shadowy glory and a stormy depth,

Like a mooned night with drifting star-gemmed clouds.

This tapas-siddhi of bringing down Krishna and Kali is the entire purport of the yogic Savitri. Whatever stood in its way had to be removed and the path cleared to usher in the divine Event. In it is won the higher Amrita, the essence of immortality, that was postponed earlier. In it is the Siddhi of the Integral Yoga of the Future, a Siddhi that does not remain static, but by the work of Kali in the will of Krishna keeps on adding to itself realizable possibilities of the vast yet widening Truth-conscient Delight.

“The supramental change is a thing decreed and inevitable in the evolution of the earth-consciousness,” wrote Sri Aurobindo in 1928. The supramental change was decreed by him and he and the Mother had set themselves to work out its inevitability. But to realize it in us, there is needed the call and we have to be ready to receive what they are constantly showering on us. Tapahprabhava and Devaprasada, as the ancient Upanishadic scripture says, together can bring fulfilment to our longings, to our soul’s aspiration. To be engaged in that spiritual growth, to live and work and enjoy divinely in the Divine is the Integral Yoga of the Future.

“The supramental change is a thing decreed and inevitable in the evolution of the earth-consciousness,”—this was also the last message given by Sri Aurobindo, on 24 November 1950.

On the Mirror of Tomorrow there are other places also where reference is made to this theme. Ask for ‘Krishna-Kali’ or ‘Integral Yoga of the Future’ in the search. After going through these, if you have any more query, we can go into more depth perhaps.

RY Deshpande on Wed 03 Jun 2009 03:16 PM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

It seems the links got messed up. Don't know where but here are these again:

Narendra on Thu 04 Jun 2009 01:51 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

Link to Integral Yoga of the Future was most rewarding. Sincere thanks for the same.

It has gone a long way in clarifying for me the Big Picture of Savitri.

But still some big pieces are missing from my understanding:

1. The worlds of deathless bliss, perfection's home that open up on Savitri at the beginning of Canto The Soul’s Choice and the Supreme Consummation and the seven immortal earths which she encounters there; are these worlds the same as the New Creation in the House of Spirit? If not then what is the difference?

2. Following lines from p. 684 give the impression that the Heavens and the Earth were born from one original ecstasy;

On the pale shores of foaming steely straits

That flow beneath a grey tormented sky,

Two powers from one original ecstasy born

Pace near but parted in the life of man;

One leans to earth, the other yearns to the skies:

Heaven in its rapture dreams of perfect earth,

Earth in its sorrow dreams of perfect heaven.

The two longing to join, yet walk apart,

Idly divided by their vain conceits;

They are kept from their oneness by enchanted fears;

Sundered mysteriously by miles of thought,

They gaze across the silent gulfs of sleep.

My original understanding of Heavens here was the supramental dream of heavenly earth. If that is not the case then what is the difference between Heaven and New Creation and the supramental worlds?

3. The Psychic Being of Savitri, her soul with which she merges in canto Finding of the Soul, the Oversoul and the Godhead are the names which I cannot correctly put in context to each other. Could you please give me the right perspective. Also how are they located in the Architecture of the Consciousness? What location is the place where Savitri found her soul? Is it supramental?

4. Savitri undergoes many transformations in her Yoga and in her confrontation with Death. Is there any write up which puts these transformations in progressive context? Especially the last four transformations: Page 554 (The Cosmic Spirit and the Cosmic Consciousness), Page 21 (The Issue), Page 571 (Towards the Black Void), Page 664 (The Dream Twilight of the Earthly Real). In each Savitri is possessed by a Higher Consciousness; what is the differentiation?

Auroman on Fri 05 Jun 2009 06:29 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

Re Question 3

The Psychic Being of Savitri, her soul with which she merges in canto Finding of the Soul, the Oversoul and the Godhead are the names which I cannot correctly put in ontext to each other. Could you please give me the right perspective. Also how are they located in the Architecture of the Consciousness?

The Oversoul is mentioned on p24 and a couple of other pages

His thought stretches into infinitude;

All in him turns to spirit vastnesses.

His soul breaks out to join the Oversoul,

His life is oceaned by that superlife.

He has drunk from the breasts of the Mother of the worlds;

A topless Supernature fills his frame.

1) The psychic being sits within/behind the heart and it is the Divine representative which incarnates life after life, also known as the thread-soul or Sutratma.

2) The Oversoul is the Jivatman above the head which is immutable. It is that with which one unites with Enlightment when the Kundalini reaches the top of the head.

3) Godhead means cosmic powers or Gods who descend into man during Yogic transformation. Look for the word Godhead in the Secret of the Vedas. See for example "Vishnu the all-pervading Godhead" Chap XII.

> What location is the place where Savitri found her soul? Is it supramental?

The Supramental has nothing to do with the Oversoul, if that is what you were assuming. Enlightenment gives you access to the Overmind but not to the Supermind.

There are three realizations:

1) Psychic being within which is called Psychic transformation.

2) Jivatman/Oversoul above which is called Cosmic Consciousness or Enlightment in old terminology.

3) Transcendent Divine beyond Prakriti.

When you have gained the third, then you can ascend to the Supermind.

auroman on Fri 05 Jun 2009 06:39 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

Re question 1, p. 672:

Arisen beneath a triple mystic heaven

The seven immortal earths were seen, sublime:

Homes of the blest released from death and sleep

Where grief can never come nor any pang

Arriving from self-lost and seeking worlds

Alter Heaven-nature’s changeless quietude

And mighty posture of eternal calm,

Its pose of ecstasy immutable.

This is a guess (RYD?). The triple heaven may be the world of Overmind. The seven immortal earths (the next line says home of blest released from death) may be the place where the psychic beings/souls go to rest after death. This place is described by Mother Sri Aurobindo.

RY Deshpande on Fri 05 Jun 2009 08:17 PM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

The worlds of the Book of the Everlasting Day are non-progressive worlds in the Transcendent. They could have also become a temptation for Savitri to live with Satyavan in them. But her concern was the Earth. The New Creation in the House of the Spirit is in relationship with the evolutionary Earth. Unless the ‘Prototype’ is built there, nothing can happen here. This was exactly the yogic step that was taken by Aswapati=Sri Aurobindo. It is the task of Savitri=the Mother to bring it down here, to effectuate its manifestation upon Earth.

Perhaps you could see other aspects in what I’ve just said.

If there is sufficient interest, maybe we could open a new page—Sessions with Savitri—for such discussions which may not have any immediate connections with the posted articles.

narendra on Sat 06 Jun 2009 12:55 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

I request you to please open a new page for these discussions. I am really looking forward to make progress with Savitri.

A marvelous story indeed. Now if we can purify ourselves so the supramental can stay —what a grand step in the evolution of consciousness that would be.

RY Deshpande on Mon 22 Jun 2009 06:27 AM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

But the supramental has come to stay and is present in the earth's subtle physical. It is now we who must build up contact with it.

Re: Sessions with Savitri—Open Page: June 2009

by narendra on Tue 23 Jun 2009 03:47 PM IST | Profile | Permanent Link

Thank You for opening this page. It is a great opportunity.

1. Could you please take a look at the questions I posted on 4th June and see what further could be commented on them.

2. In Book 2, where universal movement of Ashwapathy's Yoga takes place, in Canto 8 where Life is freed from clutches of Death and made ready for divine Life, following lines are there:

He saw the secret key of Nature’s change.
A light was with him, an invisible hand
Was laid upon the error and the pain
Till it became a quivering ecstasy,
The shock of sweetness of an arm’s embrace.

Now is the 'invisible hand' a Presence which came with Ashwapathy? Or was it activated by the light which was with Ashwapathy?

3. There are a couple of Projects on Savitri that can be undertaken which I have in mind. For example:
a) Recreating the booklet The Mother with lines from Savitri. (Probably of other works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as well)
b) Finding summary of books, cantos or parts of Savitri from Savitri itself. For example the entire Book of Yoga I found summarised thus on Page 476:
“Remember why thou cam’st:
Find out thy soul, recover thy hid self,
In silence seek God’s meaning in thy depths,
Then mortal nature change to the divine.
Open God’s door, enter into his trance.
Cast Thought from thee, that nimble ape of Light:
In his tremendous hush stilling thy brain
His vast Truth wake within and know and see.
Cast from thee sense that veils thy spirit’s sight:
In the enormous emptiness of thy mind
Thou shalt see the Eternal’s body in the world,
Know him in every voice heard by thy soul,
In the world’s contacts meet his single touch;
All things shall fold thee into his embrace.
Conquer thy heart’s throbs, let thy heart beat in God:
Thy nature shall be the engine of his works,
Thy voice shall house the mightiness of his Word:
Then shalt thou harbour my force and conquer Death.”
Savitri appears to me completely self-symmetrical like visual fractals. If such symmetry can be identified it will be very helpful.
c) Audio Books of all important works on Savitri.
d) Comprehensive collection of lines on growth and life cycle of a soul from Savitri.
e) Video sessions on Savitri.
f) I know that Panditji had given video taped survey of Savitri. If these video tapes can be edited, enhanced and released as dvd's and posted on youtube it will be very helpful for devotees.
g) Savitri as a pdf or html where each line is linked to all resources available in context to that line. Also dictionary can be similarly integrated. There can be an interactive audio version of the same also.
etc etc.

4. If an office can be set up for the same with a dedicated team working towards producing these and other suggested projects on Savitri then that will be simply great. If someone can take up the responsibility of running such an effort then I am willing to bear all costs towards such an effort. Please let me know what is possible on this front.

Your questions of 4 June. To begin with, let me take here the first two questions.

N Q 1: The worlds of deathless bliss, perfection's home that open up on Savitri at the beginning of Canto The Soul’s Choice and the Supreme Consummation and the seven immortal earths which she encounters there; are these worlds the same as the New Creation in the House of Spirit? If not then what is the difference?

RYD: No, I don’t think so. They are not a new creation established by Aswapati in the House of the Spirit; but they have connection with the new creation. The seven immortal earths have been there all along, sapta bhumi, established on each principle of manifestation, Bhu Bhuva…, they in the Transcendent. The one closest to the earth is described in great details. Savitri was offered to be there with her Satyavan, the Divine Tempter as if testing her. She sets it aside and whatever she wants is for the soul of this earth, not the immortal but the mortal earth, this

N Q 2: Following lines from p. 684 give the impression that the Heavens and the Earth were born from one original ecstasy;

On the pale shores of foaming steely straits
That flow beneath a grey tormented sky,
Two powers from one original ecstasy born
Pace near but parted in the life of man;
One leans to earth, the other yearns to the skies:
Heaven in its rapture dreams of perfect earth,
Earth in its sorrow dreams of perfect heaven.
The two longing to join, yet walk apart,
Idly divided by their vain conceits;
They are kept from their oneness by enchanted fears;
Sundered mysteriously by miles of thought,
They gaze across the silent gulfs of sleep.

My original understanding of Heavens here was the supramental dream of heavenly earth. If that is not the case then what is the difference between Heaven and New Creation and the supramental worlds?

RYD: Answer to Q 1 should perhaps take care of this. Please let me know if it does.

We are keeping the Open Page for assorted questions about Savitri. It is requested that these be put directly here. As there will be a page for every month, tracking these questions will be easier than when they are scattered at different places. I'm transferring some of the comments made elsewhere on this page. Sessions with Savitri should provide a good occasion for questions from any part of the epic. Let us see how it develops, but the request is to raise questions here as far as possible.

Here are the last few coments being brought here. Let the thread continue on the Open Page.

Re: The Ancient Disputants: Earth-Love-Doom—the Divinity in Pain
by narendra on Sat 27 Jun 2009 11:23 PM IST |

That the Soul or 'petrified aspiration" which Savitri discovers in inner deepest realms of Matter would be a part of the ancient, original inconscietnt Being. And psychic Being would be a part of the subsequent descent of Divine as Love and which is concentrated here on earth.

Reading the below extract from writings of Nolini Kant Gupta with the above understanding reveals a certain clear symbollic image:

The Psychic is like the wire between the generator and the lamp. What is the
generator and what is the lamp, or rather, who is the generator and who the
lamp? The Divine is the generator and the body, the visible being, is the
lamp. The function then of the Psychic is to connect the two. In other words,
if there were no Psychic in Matter, Matter could not come in direct contact
with the Divine.

If body the visible Being being the lamp then the soul which Savitri finds would be the filament of the lamp which lights its aspiration?

Re: Re: The Ancient Disputants: Earth-Love-Doom—the Divinity in Pain
by auroman on Sun 28 Jun 2009 12:07 AM IST |

The Quran uses a similar analogy in the Sura Noor

God is the light of the heavens and the earth.
The likeness of this light is a niche
in which there is a lamp,
the lamp in a glass,
the glass like a glittering star,
kindled from a blessed olive tree,
an olive that is neither of the east nor the west,
the oil of which could shine without being touched by fire.
Light upon light;
God guides whom He please.
- Quran 24:35

The extract below from Savitri is also on the theme of Soul. One wide and free above and One struggling, bound, intense below. And In the centre of his vast and fateful trance half-way between his free and fallen selves is the THIRD entity. Is this THIRD entity in the centre the psychic?

Alien now seemed that dim far universe,
Self and eternity alone were true.
Then memory climbed to him from the striving planes
Bringing a cry from once-loved cherished things,
And to the cry as to its own lost call
A ray replied from the occult Supreme.
For even there the boundless Oneness dwells.
To its own sight unrecognisable,
It lived still sunk in its own tenebrous seas,
Upholding the world’s inconscient unity
Hidden in Matter’s insentient multitude.
This seed-self sown in the Indeterminate
Forfeits its glory of divinity,
Concealing the omnipotence of its Force,
Concealing the omniscience of its Soul;
An agent of its own transcendent Will,
It merges knowledge in the inconscient deep;
Accepting error, sorrow, death and pain,
It pays the ransom of the ignorant Night,
Redeeming by its substance Nature’s fall.
Himself he knew and why his soul had gone
Into earth’s passionate obscurity
To share the labour of an errant Power
Which by division hopes to find the One.
Two beings he was, one wide and free above,
One struggling, bound, intense, its portion here.
A tie between them still could bridge two worlds;
There was a dim response, a distant breath;
All had not ceased in the unbounded hush.
His heart lay somewhere conscious and alone
Far down below him like a lamp in night;
Abandoned it lay, alone, imperishable,
Immobile with excess of passionate will,
His living, sacrificed and offered heart
Absorbed in adoration mystical,
Turned to its far-off fount of light and love.
In the luminous stillness of its mute appeal
It looked up to the heights it could not see;
It yearned from the longing depths it could not leave.
In the centre of his vast and fateful trance
Half-way between his free and fallen selves,
Interceding twixt God’s day and the mortal’s night,
Accepting worship as its single law,
Accepting bliss as the sole cause of things,
Refusing the austere joy which none can share,
Refusing the calm that lives for calm alone,
To her it turned for whom it willed to be.
In the passion of its solitary dream
It lay like a closed soundless oratory
Where sleeps a consecrated argent floor
Lit by a single and untrembling ray
And an invisible Presence kneels in prayer.
On some deep breast of liberating peace
All else was satisfied with quietude;
This only knew there was a truth beyond.
All other parts were dumb in centred sleep
Consenting to the slow deliberate Power
Which tolerates the world’s error and its grief,
Consenting to the cosmic long delay,
Timelessly waiting through the patient years
Her coming they had asked for earth and men;
This was the fiery point that called her now.
Extinction could not quench that lonely fire;
Its seeing filled the blank of mind and will;
Thought dead, its changeless force abode and grew.
Armed with the intuition of a bliss
To which some moved tranquillity was the key,
It persevered through life’s huge emptiness
Amid the blank denials of the world.
It sent its voiceless prayer to the Unknown;
It listened for the footsteps of its hopes
Returning through the void immensities,
It waited for the fiat of the Word
That comes through the still self from the Supreme.

Re: The Ancient Disputants: Earth-Love-Doom—the Divinity in Pain
by RY Deshpande on Sun 28 Jun 2009 07:17 PM IST |

All this is in the context of the evolutionary unfoldment, in the context of the decisive supramental manifestation. The predicament is posed and the solution sought in the incarnation of the divine Shakti. The birth of the New World is the imperative—it has been created in the Transcendent but now it has to manifest upon the mortal world, mŗtyuloka. In Savitri it is important to read each description in relationship with the theme being presented, as it will have specific shades pertaining to that description although the metaphysical arguments might appear generally to be the same. Each description is normally a fine essay in itself, an elaborate essay in poetic language, self-contained and complete; otherwise it can become confusing. Appearance of similar terms or phrases in different places should be cautiously taken, taken not mechanically but with a certain degree of intuitive sense and perception. For instance, the theme of evolution or separation of four powers from the Origin appears at least on half a dozen occasion in the epic, but each has its own uniqueness—the poet is not repeating himself as if he has forgotten what he wrote earlier. That is the explanative-expositive-explicative-elucidative-educative art of the Yogi-Essayist as a reassuring Teacher; he does it with calm patience of a kind and gracious God himself.

I don't yet possess the general metaphysical understanding and therefore am sure to falter on the specific shades presented in Savitri.

I request you to take up the theme of Soul (Divine Soul and Double Soul in man) with relevant portions of Savitri at the earliest opportunity.

Also can we have something like a FAQ or Relevant Questions on Savitri with each question linked to the relevant page on the blog or elsewhere? The questions may be organised on themes or on the Cantos of Savitri or on both. With your vast interactions based on Savitri you would know how best to do it. This will help in removing redundancy from questions of devotees and aspirants. This master-list of questions can then be subsequently populated with new questions as and when they are spotted.

I can compile my own list but I am sure it will have a lot of redundancy because of my lack of grasp of basic structure.

In future all questions put elsewhere will be transferred here; responses to them will occur only here on the Open Page. That is the purpose of the column Sessions with Savitri.

About Frequently Asked Questions related to Savitri

I’m not inclined to have a bank of questions which could be taken up as starting points of various threads. Let the issues be raised spontaneously and threads develop in their own way. But please put your question on the Open Page under the general title Sessions with Savitri. There will be a new page each month and it is hoped this will help tracking various aspects of the discussion. The Sessions is not just for questions; it is also meant for making observations or opening new lines of discussion.

By taking human birth the Asuras are exposed to psychic being or the truth and love for divine. Is this the psychic being of what is called the surface soul in Life Divine because the inner soul or psychic being is a uniqueness which belongs to the soul and cannot be attributed or attached to Asura?
