About Reflections on Passages in Savitri
In this book the author comments on a sampling of significant passages in Savitri that convey a wide-ranging yet insightful view of Sri Aurobindo’s spiritual teaching. He often draws on prose works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother for context in understanding the themes of Savitri. Beginning with the highly symbolic opening passage of the poem, he proceeds in subsequent chapters to examine themes such as the parallels between King Aswapati and Savitri, and Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, respectively, in the context of their work for the world. Love in its higher possibilities, the role of the soul, the layers of our inner being, the question of fate and free will, the debate with Death, and the higher reaches of spiritual consciousness are other themes explored. The final two chapters highlight passages about the divine, supramental worlds pressing for manifestation in our material world as the pioneering spiritual work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
