The greatness of Savitri is the greatness of Love itself, Love divine, pure and bright and gorgeous, without the trace of ugliness that comes with the vital’s degrading passions and wants and desires. It is all-embracing, and nor gods nor the hostiles nor men of whatever denominations they may be get left out. If this were not there, this Love Divine, the creation would simply collapse. It is this Love that moves the sun and all the other stars, and things that are visible and invisible. All is founded on it; all lives by it; all that one cherishes and hopes, and all that grows—it is because of it. It is this Love that has found a perfect place in the soul of Savitri. Therefore, the whole world could take a glad refuge in her single heart. Nothing she dismisses, disdains; on the other hand, by the power of her spirit it gets transformed; things become divine. That is the golden touch she brings to us. She is both the silence, the support for divine action, and the executive word by which things get materialised here, silence the supporting spiritual base, theādhāra, and word bearing in it the truth-rhythm, the mantra that brings into existence what it proclaims. She is in possession of the dynamic and the supportive powers by which if things have to happen will happen. When the divine Will is there, the high samkalpa, she accomplishes what is willed for the creation. No wonder Love met in her his own eternity.
