Selections from Savitri part II

All rose from the silence;
All goes back to its hush.

All things are real
That here are only dreams.

An idiot hour destroys what centuries made.

Love is a yearning
Of the One
For the One.

Mortality bears ill
The eternal's touch.

The spirit rises mightier
By defeat.

The soul that can
Live alone with itself
Meets God.

There is a purpose
In each stumble and fall.

A future knowledge is an added pain.

To know is best,
However hard to bear.

But few are they who tread the sunlit path.

Death helps us not,
Vain is the hope to cease.

Earth is the chosen place of mightiest souls.

Eternity speaks, none understands its word.

Fate shall be changed by an unchanging will.

For joy
And not for sorrow
Earth was made.

Heaven's call is rare,
Rarer the heart that heeds.

My God is Love
And sweetly suffers all.

Only the pure in soul
Can walk in light.

The gods are still too few
In mortal forms.

We are greater
Than our thoughts.

Even the body shall remember God.
