he whole passage read in context explains it.
‘But once the hidden doors are flung apart
Then the veiled king steps out in Nature’s front;
A Light comes down into the Ignorance,
Its heavy painful knot loosens its grasp:
The mind becomes a mastered instrument
And life a hue and figure of the soul.
All happily grows towards knowledge and towards bliss.
A divine Puissance then takes Nature’s place
And pushes the movements of our body and mind;
Possessor of our passionate hopes and dreams,
The beloved despot of our thoughts and acts,
She streams into us with her unbound force,
Into mortal limbs the Immortal’s rapture and power.
An inner law of beauty shapes our lives;
Our words become the natural speech of Truth,
Each thought is a ripple on a sea of Light.
Then sin and virtue leave the cosmic lists;
They struggle no more in our delivered hearts:
Our acts chime with God’s simple natural good
Or serve the rule of a supernal Right.
All moods unlovely, evil and untrue
Forsake their stations in fierce disarray
And hide their shame in the subconscient’s dusk.
Then lifts the mind a cry of victory:
“O soul, my soul, we have created Heaven,
Within we have found the kingdom here of God,
His fortress built in a loud ignorant world.
Our life is entrenched between two rivers of Light,
We have turned space into a gulf of peace
And made the body a Capitol of bliss.’
The first river of light is the inner life, the life of the soul that has torn the veil of ignorance and joined its life life in ignorance with the Light and Force of the Divine Mother. The second river of Light is Nature, no more impelled by forces of ignorance is now completely under the influence of the Divine Mother. Soul joining its divine origin is the first necessity. Nature joining its higher Divine Supernature turning our actions into a perfect manifestation of the Divine within is the other necessity.
With this Savitri realises her individual perfection and now must labour for realising the greater collective possibility.
Affectionately,
