thing like Savitri. All these literary works seem to me empty,
flat, hollow, without any deep reality — apart from a few rare
exceptions, and these too represent only a small fraction of
what Savitri is. What grandeur, what amplitude, what reality:
it is something immortal and eternal he has created. I tell you
once again, there is nothing like it in the whole world. Even if
one puts aside the vision of the reality, that is, the essential
substance which is the heart of the inspiration, and considers
only the lines in themselves, one will find them unique, of the
highest classical kind. What he has created is something man
cannot imagine. For, everything is there, everything.

Savitri is a revelation
It may then be said that Savitri is a revelation, it is a medita-
tion, it is a quest of the Infinite, of the Eternal. If it is read with
this aspiration for Immortality, the reading itself will serve as
a guide towards Immortality. To read Savitri is indeed to prac-
tise Yoga, spiritual concentration; one can find there all that
is needed to realise the Divine. Each step of the Yoga is noted
here, including the secret of all other Yogas. Surely, if one fol-
lows sincerely what is revealed here in each verse one will finally
reach the transformation of the Supramental Yoga. It is truly
the infallible guide who never abandons you; its support is
always there for him who wants to follow the path. Each
verse of Savitri is like a revealed Mantra which surpasses all
that man possesses by way of knowledge, and I repeat this, the
words are expressed and arranged in such a manner that the
sonority of the rhythm leads you to the origin of sound, which
is OM.
