A Seer was born, a shining Guest of Time

His was a spirit that stooped from larger spheres
Into our province of ephemeral sight,
A colonist from immortality.

The universal strengths were linked with his;
Filling earth’s smallness with their boundless breadths,
He drew the energies that transmute an age.

Immeasurable by the common look,
He made great dreams a mould for coming things
And cast his deeds like bronze to front the years.

-          Savitri, Sri Aurobindo
