Vital aspiration for the union with the
Divine
It
raises straight up in an intense and concentrated movement
All-love was
hers and its one heavenly cord
Bound all to all with her as golden tie.
Bound all to all with her as golden tie.
Savitri

Is it not a
supreme sacrifice for the Divine to renounce the beatitude of His unity in
order to create the painful multiplicity of the world?
Thus in the
silent chamber of her soul
Cloistering her love to live with secret grief
She dwelt like a dumb priest with hidden gods
Unappeased by the wordless offering of her days,
Lifting to them her sorrow like frankincense,
Her life the altar, herself the sacrifice.
Cloistering her love to live with secret grief
She dwelt like a dumb priest with hidden gods
Unappeased by the wordless offering of her days,
Lifting to them her sorrow like frankincense,
Her life the altar, herself the sacrifice.
