Maheshwari

From : Savitri - Book III - Canto II - The Adoration of the Divine Mother Across the silence of the ultimate Calm, Out of a marvellous Transcendence' core, A body of wonder and translucency As if a sweet mystic summary of her self Escaping into the original Bliss Had come enlarged out of eternity, Someone came infinite and absolute. A being of wisdom, power and delight, Even as a mother draws her child to her arms, Took to her breast Nature and world and soul. Abolishing the signless emptiness, Breaking the vacancy and voiceless hush, Piercing the limitless Unknowable, Into the liberty of the motionless depths A beautiful and felicitous lustre stole. The Power, the Light, the Bliss no word can speak Imaged itself in a surprising beam And built a golden passage to his heart Touching through him all longing sentient things. A moment's sweetness of the All-Beautiful Cancelled the vanity of the cosmic whirl. A Nature throbbing with a Heart divine Was felt in the unconscious universe; It made the breath a happy mystery. A love that bore the cross of pain with joy Eudaemonised the sorrow of the world, Made happy the weight of long unending Time, The secret caught of God's felicity. Affirming in life a hidden ecstasy It held the spirit to its miraculous course; Carrying immortal values to the hours It justified the labour of the suns. For one was there supreme behind the God. A Mother Might brooded upon the world; A Consciousness revealed its marvellous front Transcending all that is, denying none: Imperishable above our fallen heads He felt a rapturous and unstumbling Force. The undying Truth appeared, the enduring Power Of all that here is made and then destroyed, The Mother of all godheads and all strengths Who, mediatrix, binds earth to the Supreme.
