Canto 3

The Debate of Love and Death

The World as God Fulfilled

A blaze of his sovereign glory is the sun,

A glory is the gold and glimmering moon,

A glory is his dream of purple sky.

A march of his greatness are the wheeling stars.

His laughter of beauty breaks out in green trees,

His moments of beauty triumph in a flower;

The blue sea’s chant, the rivulet’s wandering voice

Are murmurs falling from the Eternal’s harp.

This world is God fulfilled in outwardness.

X.3.103-11

The Tangle-Dance of the One

A thousand aspects point back to the One;

A dual Nature covered the Unique.

In this meeting of the Eternal’s mingling masques,

This tangle-dance of passionate contraries

Locking like lovers in a forbidden embrace

The quarrel of their lost identity,

Through this wrestle and wrangle of the extremes of Power

Earth’s million roads struggled towards deity.

All stumbled on behind a stumbling Guide,

Yet every stumble is a needed pace

On unknown routes to an unknowable goal.

All blundered and straggled towards the One Divine.

X.3.147-58

The Growth of the Inner Light

A darkness wallows in the paths of Time

Or lifts its giant head to blot the stars;

It makes a cloud of the interpreting mind

And intercepts the oracles of the Sun.

Yet Light is there; it stands at Nature’s doors:

It holds a torch to lead the traveller in.

............

The Graded Ascent of Love

A mystic slow transfiguration works.

All our earth starts from mud and ends in sky,

And Love that was once an animal’s desire,

Then a sweet madness in the rapturous heart,

An ardent comradeship in the happy mind,

Becomes a wide spiritual yearning’s space.

A lonely soul passions for the Alone,

The heart that loved man thrills to the love of God,

A body is his chamber and his shrine.

Then is our being rescued from separateness;

All is itself, all is new-felt in God:

............

Savitri on Love Linking Earth and Heaven

“O Death, not for my heart’s sweet poignancy

Nor for my happy body’s bliss alone

I have claimed from thee the living Satyavan,

But for his work and mine, our sacred charge.

............

Savitri’s Universal Heart

“My heart is wiser than the Reason’s thoughts,

My heart is stronger than thy bonds, O Death.

It sees and feels the one Heart beat in all,

It feels the high Transcendent’s sunlike hands,

It sees the cosmic Spirit at its work;

In the dim Night it lies alone with God.

My heart’s strength can carry the grief of the universe

And never falter from its luminous track,

Its white tremendous orbit through God’s peace.

It can drink up the sea of All-Delight

And never lose the white spiritual touch,

The calm that broods in the deep Infinite.”

He said, “Art thou indeed so strong, O heart,

O soul, so free? And canst thou gather then

Bright pleasure from my wayside flowering boughs,

Yet falter not from thy hard journey’s goal,

Meet the world’s dangerous touch and never fall?

............

Psychic Fire

Intent upon her silent will she walked

On the dim grass of vague unreal plains,

A floating veil of visions in her front,

A trailing robe of dreams behind her feet.

But now her spirit’s flame of conscient force

Retiring from a sweetness without fruit

Called back her thoughts from speech to sit within

In a deep room in meditation’s house.
