“SAVITRI” by Sri Aurobindo (Republished edition of the 1st edition 1950-51, draft approved by Sri Aurobindo before his death) Book Three—The Book of the Divine Mother (Contd. from yesterday August 27, 2013) Canto IV THE VISION AND THE BOON The eternal seeker in the aeonic field Besieged by the intolerant press of hours Again was strong for great swift-footed deeds. Awake beneath the ignorant vault of Night, He saw the unnumbered people of the stars And heard the questioning of the unsatisfied flood And toiled with the form-maker, measuring Mind. A wanderer from the occult invisible suns Accomplishing the fate of transient things, A god in the figure of the arisen beast, He raised his brow of conquest to the heavens Establishing the empire of the soul On Matter and its bounded universe As on a solid rock in infinite seas. The Lord of Life resumed his mighty rounds In the scant field of the ambiguous globe. END OF CANTO IV AND END OF BOOK THREE END OF PART ONE ***************
