It’s like as if the scenario Sri Aurobindo paints in the small poem – the dream boat, when the man on the boat invites for the voyage but somehow his heart shudders at losing all that he has cherished and clung to up until that point of his life and finally today, for nearly over an hour in the morning, I’ve read and recited only the first page of Savitri and every word of it is already acting like an inner compass over my single breath and step, making me not forgetful of the Mother, of the Supramental Adventure and purpose of the Cosmos, of my purpose on this Planet and this is an Experience that I Haven’t really had in my entire life.
My only apprehension and fear is: what are the things that I should be so vigilant of to not really fall into the old ways and strengthen this inner voice of Savitri, so that it becomes my sole guide and companion every day for the rest of my years and life? How do I make every single line reach into my nerves and cells?
Reading Savitri every day is itself a Yoga. If you can do this with quietude and inner concentration, a page a day or more, contemplate upon it or simply let the lines and words reverberate within its sound and words seeping into your inner being, then nothing more is needed.
Try to remember the Mother inwardly as often as you can and offer all you do to Her. This is the only other practice needed. All the rest will develop with time.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
