This same intuition draws me to sleep with my hand resting on Savitri, feeling an inherent superconscious presence embedded in its physical pages. Could you illuminate how consciousness inhabits material objects, and whether our subtle receptivity can truly commune with them?
This has been my experience too, especially with things that I regularly use, such as the Scooter, watches, etc. Material objects too carry consciousness within them. That is why The Mother advices us to treat them with care and respect. That is also why one can actually awaken consciousness in an idol by appropriate means through Prana Pratishtha and turn a piece of stone into a living Presence. It is this knowledge that is behind treating rivers and fire and sun and moon and the entire Material universe as loaded with the Divine Presence concealed within its apparent inconscient form and mechanical energy.
Savitri, of course, is very special, just as are the photographs of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. It is specially charged with the divine vibrations and not just the general consciousness behind forms. I have seen instances of the effect of the magical vibrations from Sri Aurobindo’s books in general and Savitri in particular.
Affectionately,
