Savitri has come to complete the story of her soul she had undertaken to write long ago. It is not that she was coming here now for the first time. In fact wherever and whenever there was a possibility of manifestation of the divine Ray, she had been always there. She has been carrying on the executive part of the evolutionary course, carrying it out in the Will of the Lord, the Will that has gone into it. The book is being written and written, and no page can be closed until the entire story unfolds. Savitri is not going to terminate the work she had undertaken to do.

 

Certainly, right from the beginning of this earth-process she has been engaged in accomplishing in life the great world-plan. She has the knowledge of it, and she is ready to put in whatever yogic-spiritual effort is demanded by it. In that assigned task or commitment or enterprise of hers there is an unbroken steadiness and solidity: if she has achieved something while here in life, she is going to continue it in another occult way after death. [*] If her work were going to be a failure, the very meaning of her birth in the earthly dynamics would be lost. That would mean the failure of the divine resolve, the frailty of the supreme Will in this creation. Not determined or swayed by the whims and fancies of Time and Circumstance, but a firm and strong will founded in her high self could take care of every contingency. Not given to happenstance, Savitri could stand up in her own divine right to meet every situation. Indeed, “her single will opposed the cosmic rule.”

 

[*This is a significant revelation in the context of the Mother’s work of physical transformation, particularly when her New Body is there in the subtle-physical of the earth.]

 

The earth has been chosen for the big work of bringing back the manifested to its Origin. The world has become the symbol of the whole universe and upon the earth the Sovereign Mother has incarnated from the beginning, to hasten the waking up of the world to the consciousness of the Origin.

 

It is to this Consciousness of the Mother that legend gave the name of Savitri and then the whole story was built.


Savitri’s superhuman personality in the frail human form had such might that it could even halt the arrival of Doom. Now with this approaching event the strength slumbering in her secret soul suddenly awoke to meet the challenge. It could bear the Unseen’s knock and stand up to do the work it came to do. In the case of a lesser mortal the knock would have proved disastrous; but Savitri could bear its impact and therefore it rather saved her. This protecting concern of the Unseen is always there for her, and she has the capacity to stand up to its demands. The huge machinery of the cosmic working was in full operation, operating relentlessly; but here was she who could immobilize it, terminate its functioning. It proved utterly helpless in the rush of a flame of a soul. It is in such a moment of supernatural proportion that at once a key is also discovered by the strong soul. The will of the Indescribable is set into motion and a contact with the highest Force established. The key could be a prayer which is also a master act and a splendid idea. It could be all of them together, the threefold yoga of bhakti-karma-jnana. This yoga has in its full efficacy the merit of linking the aspirant soul to the transcendental Greatness. When this is done, nothing appears miraculous. The supreme Will which is impersonal enters into the will of an individual and through him does its work of omnipotence. Savitri has become that glorious individual.

 

The secret of this Power is the unification of the manifested Consciousness with the Original Consciousness, with the Supreme. If this union is total and conscious, there is no limit to the Power manifested. If it is constant, the world can be transformed.

 

And then, if this is realised, what would take some thousands and thousands of years to be accomplished can be done in a moment.


In that Impersonal’s Will entering into the Personal’s Will, mastery is won over everything. It has acquired the control over things and events. In its absence all is a brute mechanical movement, and there is the inexorable rule of cause-and-effect. That is the logic on which operates this tragic world. Man himself becomes a machine amid machines, his thoughts pumped out from the brain, his life-force creating a surface entity to which he becomes a slave. If it is not this cause-and-effect relationship, then it can be nothing but the working of a dubious Chance. Matter and all that comes from it are subject to it. There is no issue and only prevails the rule of probability. There are only likelihoods and possibilities, and no assuring finalities.

 

This is the new world as the New Consciousness has found it and still it lingers on, without thinking even of changing. But the time will come when things will change. The time is coming and one must be ready.


In this probabilistic domain there are only inelegant and blundering events, and the reason is there to provide an easy rationale for them. It even provides a justification that it could be the colossal work of a mind which itself is the product of vast ignorance. However, in spite of this clumsy brute rigid apparatus of cosmic organization, does wisdom come and vision grow. Man can then become the master of Nature. He can even feel the presence of the observant self and the working of a secret conscious power. The sense of cosmic operation is disclosed. “His soul steps back and sees the Light supreme.” There is a realization that after all behind this huge affair of the world there is a Godhead who is in the charge of it.

 

In the dawning of this truth of the cosmic organization a victory is won for God in man, and the secret deity that had been operating all along from behind the scene comes out openly to posses the world for itself. This is what has happened to Savitri. “The great World-Mother now in her arose” and what had appeared calamity and doom has been dismissed. Not Chance nor Necessity but a conscious Will took possession of everything. Savitri has become a flaming warrior on the battlefield of God waging war against Death. Indeed, the result is, it is God himself who had assumed that shape for a high intended purpose, is revealed behind every thing, behind the Inconscient Void too. That is the victory Savitri has come to win, and she has won it.

 

This is just what has happened and is still happening, and, to pick up courage there is only to look in front to a future that is not far away.

 

We are slowly but surely coming out of an almost desperate past towards a future full of promise and bringing to a harmony tired, exhausted and almost in despair, the vision of a Realisation that will bring back not only hope but Light, Power and Realisation.
