0:01 What if the life we lead is not our true purpose on Earth? What if there's more to our existence than the daily round that we carry out day after day, year after year, changing only the external trappings and specific activities, but falling into a similar groove regardless? How many of us sense at some point in our lives that we are missing something that would help us make sense of it all? In his epic poem Savitri, a Legend and a Symbol, Srioro Bindo explores these questions. Srioro Bindo writes quote this bodily appearance is not all. The form deceives.
0:49 The person is a mask hid deep in man. Celestial powers can dwell, His fragile ship conveys through the sea of years an Incognito of the imperishable. A spirit that is a flame of God abides A fiery portion of the wonderful artist of his own beauty and delight. Immortal in our mortal poverty, this sculptor of the forms of the Infinite, this screened unrecognised inhabitant, initiate of his own veiled mysteries, hides in a small dumb seed his cosmic thought in the mute strength of the occult idea, determining predestined shape and act, passenger from life to life, from scale to scale, changing his image self from form to form, he regards the icon growing by his gaze, and in the worm foresees the coming God.
