Reflections on Passages in Savitri: Love
Larry Seidlitz
The overarching theme of Savitri is love, and the passage to be considered in this presentation discusses its deep mystical significance which is woven into the story of Savitri and Satyavan and into the lives and work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The passage reveals love as a divine Power which will transform this earthly life into a life divine, while also showing its relation with our common human love and its baser derivatives. It is love which has led to the fated meeting of Savitri and Satyavan at the edge of the forest, and at first sight, awakened their spirit’s memory, and tore the mist separating their two lives. But more significantly, the passage links their story with that of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, whose divine love for humanity and the world brought down the supramental power which will transform this earthly life.
