Savitri – Eine Legende und ein Symbol. Sri Aurobindo

СКАЧАТЬ chance recurrences into laws,

      A chaos of signs into a universe.

      Out of the rich wonders and the intricate whorls

      Of the spirit’s dance with Matter as its mask

      The balance of the world’s design grew clear,

      Its symmetry of self-arranged effects

      Managed in the deep perspectives of the soul,

      And the realism of its illusive art,

      Its logic of infinite intelligence,

      Its magic of a changing eternity.

      A glimpse was caught of things for ever unknown:

      The letters stood out of the unmoving Word:

      In the immutable nameless Origin

      Was seen emerging as from fathomless seas

      The trail of the Ideas that made the world,

      And, sown in the black earth of Nature’s trance,

      The seed of the Spirit’s blind and huge desire

      From which the tree of cosmos was conceived

      And spread its magic arms through a dream of space.

      Immense realities took on a shape:

      There looked out from the shadow of the Unknown

      The bodiless Namelessness that saw God born

      And tries to gain from the mortal’s mind and soul

      A deathless body and a divine name.

      The immobile lips, the great surreal wings,

      The visage masked by superconscient Sleep,

      The eyes with their closed lids that see all things,

      Appeared of the Architect who builds in trance.

      The original Desire born in the Void

      Peered out; he saw the hope that never sleeps,

      The feet that run behind a fleeting fate,

      The ineffable meaning of the endless dream.

      Hardly for a moment glimpsed viewless to Mind,

      As if a torch held by a power of God,

      The radiant world of the everlasting Truth

      Glimmered like a faint star bordering the night

      Above the golden Overmind’s shimmering ridge.

      Even were caught as through a cunning veil

      The smile of love that sanctions the long game,

      The calm indulgence and maternal breasts

      Of Wisdom suckling the child-laughter of Chance,

      Silence, the nurse of the Almighty’s power,

      The omniscient hush, womb of the immortal Word,

      And of the Timeless the still brooding face,

      And the creative eye of Eternity.

      The inspiring goddess entered a mortal’s breast,

      Made there her study of divining thought

      And sanctuary of prophetic speech

      And sat upon the tripod seat of mind:

      All was made wide above, all lit below.

      In darkness’ core she dug out wells of light,

      On the undiscovered depths imposed a form,

      Lent a vibrant cry to the unuttered vasts,

      And through great shoreless, voiceless, starless breadths

      Bore earthward fragments of revealing thought

      Hewn from the silence of the Ineffable.

      A Voice in the heart uttered the unspoken Name,

      A dream of seeking Thought wandering through Space

      Entered the invisible and forbidden house:

      The treasure was found of a supernal Day.

      In the deep subconscient glowed her jewel-lamp;

      Lifted, it showed the riches of the Cave

      Where, by the miser traffickers of sense

      Unused, guarded beneath Night’s dragon paws,

      In folds of velvet darkness draped they sleep

      Whose priceless value could have saved the world.

      A darkness carrying morning in its breast

      Looked for the eternal wide returning gleam,

      Waiting the advent of a larger ray

      And rescue of the lost herds of the Sun.

      In a splendid extravagance of the waste of God

      Dropped carelessly in creation’s spendthrift work,

      Left in the chantiers of the bottomless world

      And stolen by the robbers of the Deep,

      The golden shekels of the Eternal lie,

      Hoarded from touch and view and thought’s desire,

      Locked in blind antres of the ignorant flood,

      Lest men should find them and be even as Gods.

      A vision lightened on the viewless heights,

      A wisdom illumined from the voiceless depths:

      A deeper interpretation greatened Truth,

      A grand reversal of the Night and Day;

      All the world’s values changed heightening life’s aim;

      A wiser word, a larger thought came in

      Than what the slow labour of human mind can bring,

      A secret sense awoke that could perceive

      A Presence СКАЧАТЬ
