The first talk from a 9-part series “The Goal of the Human Quest” with Dr Alok Pandey, recorded in Sep 2018 at the Sri Aurobindo Society, Pondicherry. This talk is about the various aims of human life through which the soul moves along its evolutionary journey. This aim is not so much of a mental choice as of a growing unfolding of the Divine Script in man.

Sri Aurobindo’s poem ‘Bride of the Fire” is very much Vedic in essence as well as in its occult and spiritual significance.  The used images belong to the Vedic imagery, and the power of Fire (referred to here as the bride of Fire) is being invoked by the Seer-poet to uplift the entire being in its ascension towards the Divine Purity and Truth-Light and Delight.

There has never been any age of mankind when yoga was withheld from man. In every age of mankind there have been great beings, luminous Masters who have shown the Path towards the Divine. This time however there is something new. It is the Divine coming as the Mother that changes the approach and forges a new bond between the seeker and the Master.

Sri Aurobindo has brought and implanted upon earth a new aspiration, the aspiration for terrestrial perfection, for an integral fulfillment of life. Savitri serves as an intermediary to awaken and help this aspiration to grow in man.

A question is often asked about the initiation in this yoga. Savitri in fact starts with this process. It opens with an initiation of the earth and humanity into the yoga of creation. Indeed reading Savitri itself may serve as an initiation for the Path.

Savitri, the mantra of transformation is not only a vision but also an action. Sri Aurobindo has revealed here all that has to be known of our past, our present and the future of the human race with earth as the center-stage of the epic drama of creation. But it is also an action, since this revelation carries with it the power of the mantra that uplifts us nearer to those heights from where the v...
