What is the power in Savitri🕊️?

It is the power of Divine Love that alone can transform earthly life into the Life Divine.

The quintessence of the power that Savitri holds within her is succinctly summarised in these four lines on the last page of Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem. When asked by the sages as to what magical power in her has transformed their lives, Savitri replies.

“Awakened to the meaning of my heart
That to feel love and oneness is to live
And this the magic of our golden change,
Is all the truth I know or seek, O sage.”

This in a way is also the core message of Savitri as revealed in the story itself which is about the victory of conjugal love over death.

Affectionately,

Alok da

Certainly the Hindus knew the various means of purifying the mind and intelligence and, during the heydays of ancient India, the Vedic period and even much later, they did turn it both inwards and outwards. That is how they discovered such wonderful things which included plastic surgery, an elaborate pharmacopeia, warcraft and deadly weapons, principles of politics and administration, rules of mathematics and chemistry, linguistics and …

Sir, is whatever happens with us is always for our best? 🙏🏻🌼

The Mother has given a very beautiful and complete answer to this.

‘Is it really the best that always happens?… It is clear that all that has happened had to happen: it could not be otherwise—by the universal determinism it had to happen. But we can say so only after it has happened, not before. For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individual problem, whether the individual be a nation or a single human being; and all depends upon the personal attitude. If, in the presence of circumstances…
