Savitri – Eine Legende und ein Symbol. Sri Aurobindo

СКАЧАТЬ inspired Knowledge sat enthroned within

      Whose seconds illumined more than reason’s years:

      An ictus of revealing lustre fell

      As if a pointing accent upon Truth,

      And like a sky-flare showing all the ground

      A swift intuitive discernment shone.

      One glance could separate the true and false,

      Or raise its rapid torch-fire in the dark

      To check the claimants crowding through mind’s gates

      Covered by the forged signatures of the gods,

      Detect the magic bride in her disguise

      Or scan the apparent face of thought and life.

      Oft inspiration with her lightning feet,

      A sudden messenger from the all-seeing tops,

      Traversed the soundless corridors of his mind

      Bringing her rhythmic sense of hidden things.

      A music spoke transcending mortal speech.

      As if from a golden phial of the All-Bliss,

      A joy of light, a joy of sudden sight,

      A rapture of the thrilled undying Word

      Poured into his heart as into an empty cup,

      A repetition of God’s first delight

      Creating in a young and virgin Time.

      In a brief moment caught, a little space,

      All-Knowledge packed into great wordless thoughts

      Lodged in the expectant stillness of his depths

      A crystal of the ultimate Absolute,

      A portion of the inexpressible Truth

      Revealed by silence to the silent soul.

      The intense creatrix in his stillness wrought;

      Her power fallen speechless grew more intimate;

      She looked upon the seen and the unforeseen,

      Unguessed domains she made her native field.

      All-vision gathered into a single ray,

      As when the eyes stare at an invisible point

      Till through the intensity of one luminous spot

      An apocalypse of a world of images

      Enters into the kingdom of the seer.

      A great nude arm of splendour suddenly rose;

      It rent the gauze opaque of Nescience:

      Her lifted finger’s keen unthinkable tip

      Bared with a stab of flame the closed Beyond.

      An eye awake in voiceless heights of trance,

      A mind plucking at the unimaginable,

      Overleaping with a sole and perilous bound

      The high black wall hiding superconscience,

      She broke in with inspired speech for scythe

      And plundered the Unknowable’s vast estate.

      A gleaner of infinitesimal grains of Truth,

      A sheaf-binder of infinite experience,

      She pierced the guarded mysteries of World-Force

      And her magic methods wrapped in a thousand veils;

      Or she gathered the lost secrets dropped by Time

      In the dust and crannies of his mounting route

      Mid old forsaken dreams of hastening Mind

      And buried remnants of forgotten space.

      A traveller between summit and abyss,

      She joined the distant ends, the viewless deeps,

      Or streaked along the roads of Heaven and Hell

      Pursuing all knowledge like a questing hound.

      A reporter and scribe of hidden wisdom talk,

      Her shining minutes of celestial speech,

      Passed through the masked office of the occult mind,

      Transmitting gave to prophet and to seer

      The inspired body of the mystic Truth.

      A recorder of the inquiry of the gods,

      Spokesman of the silent seeings of the Supreme,

      She brought immortal words to mortal men.

      Above the reason’s brilliant slender curve,

      Released like radiant air dimming a moon,

      Broad spaces of a vision without line

      Or limit swam into his spirit’s ken.

      Oceans of being met his voyaging soul

      Calling to infinite discovery;

      Timeless domains of joy and absolute power

      Stretched out surrounded by the eternal hush;

      The ways that lead to endless happiness

      Ran like dream-smiles through meditating vasts:

      Disclosed stood up in a gold moment’s blaze

      White sun-steppes in the pathless Infinite.

      Along a naked curve in bourneless Self

      The points that run through the closed heart of things

      Shadowed the indeterminable line

      That carries the Everlasting through the years.

      The magician order of the cosmic Mind

      Coercing the freedom of infinity

      With the stark array of Nature’s symbol facts

      And life’s incessant signals СКАЧАТЬ
