Faith
Happy are men anchored on fixed belief
In this uncertain and ambiguous world,
Or who have planted in the heart’s rich soil
One small grain of spiritual certitude.
In this uncertain and ambiguous world,
Or who have planted in the heart’s rich soil
One small grain of spiritual certitude.
Happiest who stand on faith as on a rock.

Silence
A few bright forms emerged from unknown depths
And looked at her with calm immortal eyes.
And looked at her with calm immortal eyes.
There was no sound to break the brooding hush;
One felt the silent nearness of the soul.
One felt the silent nearness of the soul.
- Savitri

Order
Then journeying forward through the self’s wide hush
She came into a brilliant ordered Space.
She came into a brilliant ordered Space.
There Life dwelt parked in an armed tranquillity;
A chain was on her strong insurgent heart.
A chain was on her strong insurgent heart.
