Show Notes

Savitri, Book Seven: The Book of Yoga. Canto II: The Parable of the Search for the Soul.

We see here the human side of Savitri. Yet this human love carries a sweetness that comes from the joy of perfect giving and receiving in love. Savitri experiences this joy of togetherness. But she also knows the doom that is closing in upon them. Only a brief-lived happiness is given to her. We see here Savitri experiencing the human states we go through until we eventually accept that we shall always remain pawns in destiny’s hands. Savitri experiences in her human persona the ordeal and the joy and the grief whose shadow looms large upon her future days. The Avatar must start the path from where man is and lead him to where he can reach. He comes to build the bridge.
