A greater destiny waits you in your front

Savitri: Book 4 Canto 3 Section 1“O Force-compelled, Fate-driven earth-born race,O petty adventurers in an infinite worldAnd prisoners of a dwarf humanity,How long will you tread the circling tracks of mindAround your little self and petty things?But not for a changeless littleness were you meant,Not for vain repetition were you built;Out of the Immortal’s substance you were made;Your actions can be swift revealing steps,Your life a changeful mould for growing gods.A Seer, a strong Creator, is within,The immaculate Grandeur broods upon your days,Almighty powers are shut in Nature’s cells.A greater destiny waits you in your front:This transient earthly being if he willsCan fit his acts to a transcendent scheme.He who now stares at the world with ignorant eyesHardly from the Inconscient’s night aroused,That look at images and not at Truth,Can fill those orbs with an immortal’s sight.Yet shall the godhead grow within your hearts,You shall awake into the spirit’s airAnd feel the breaking walls of mortal mindAnd hear the message which left life’s heart dumbAnd look through Nature with sun-gazing lidsAnd blow your conch-shells at the Eternal’s gate.Authors of earth’s high change, to you it is givenTo cross the dangerous spaces of the soulAnd touch the mighty Mother stark awakeAnd meet the Omnipotent in this house of fleshAnd make of life the million-bodied One.The earth you tread is a border screened from heavenThe life you lead conceals the light you are.
