Almost one felt, opaque, impenetrable,

In the sombre symbol of her eyeless muse

The abysm of the unbodied Infinite;

 A fathomless zero occupied the world.

(Savitri, p. 1)

It is as though the transcendent Witness Purusha, sākşi, is simply watching the whole thing, unconcerned, without participating in it. By that is he, if demanded or necessary, also keeping the options open to step into it? But it cannot be in the poise of the Being as the Witness nor as the Consent-giver, anumantā. By exercising his will, making a samklpa, he does it, does it by directly stepping into it, plunging into it, by incarnating himself, by coming as an Avatar. It is only so that, a decisive advance or progress can be made. Such is what had happened when the primordial Void was formed, when the first Avatar had come. Such is what had happened when arrived the Inconscient Shiva. Such is what is going to happen in the Story of Savitri. It is a loaded Void, that the nothing was formed not for nothing.

If there has to be a new creation, a progressive creation expanding in the infinity of the Infinite, then what the Supreme has that must be first emptied out—the meaningful Void be created, the pregnant Void. Or else, how can there be anything ‘new’? That is the most difficult-abstruse, the puzzling, the most profound and mysterious part of the process—the Supreme emptying himself out. None can have knowledge of it. To become the Zero—only the Supreme can become so.

This Zero is much deeper than the Inconscience, it standing behind Inconscience, which itself is an incredible advance over the Zero of the Supreme, the brilliant śūnya, this absoluteness of the Void. At this stage, in the appearance of the Inconscience, something much has already happened. It is a state of the indeterminate, there is no formation whatsoever, that is, an unbodied Infinite occupied the world.

There is then the necessary progress in the appearance of the mind of Night, she sort of meditating over all that has happened and all that is soon going to happen. This mind of Night gives firmness, solidity to the Inconscience; if it were not so, the Void would have simply swallowed it up, everything, swallowed the Inconscience. To prevent its disappearance, and therefore frustrating the entire effort, the mind of Night comes to play a crucial role, a desirable role. But, now, by that very token the same mind of Night is standing across the path of the divine Event. It must go away, if there has to be progress; it must cease to be the mind of Night, without allowing the Void to gulp the gain that has accrued so long.

This looks to be a perplexing situation, with conflicting claims, that what has been helpful, and still will be helpful, must stop to exist. The mind of Night is necessary to prevent things being devoured by the fathomless Void; this is fine but this very mind of Night is preventing the march of the intended creation. Such is the dilemma of the creation. Is there a way out? Perhaps it has already been foreseen. The dilemma can be resolved only if the mind of Night is transformed, only if it first becomes the mind of Light. That is the occult-yogic work to be done, a work that can be done only by the incarnate Supreme himself. He comes and does it.
