1
00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:06,600
Reading from sabitri, a legend
and a symbol, by SRI aurobindo

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,000
book.
One Canto, one, the symbol Dawn.

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,500
It was the hour before the gods
awake.

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,500
Across the path of the Divine
event.

5
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:27,600
The huge foreboding mind of
night alone in her unlit Temple

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,600
of Eternity.
Lay stretched immobile upon

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,500
silence, Marge.
Almost one felt opaque

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,300
impenetrable in the sombre
symbol of her eyeless, Muse the

9
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:50,900
abysm of the un-- bodied,
infinite, a fathomless zero

10
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:56,300
occupied the world.
A power of Fallen boundless self

11
00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:02,800
awake between the first and the
last nothingness recalling.

12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,800
The tenebrous womb from which it
came turned from the insoluble

13
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,800
mystery of birth.
And the tardy process of

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,000
mortality.
And longed to reach its end in

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,300
vacant not.
As in a dark, beginning of all

16
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:28,200
things, a mute feature list,
semblance of the unknown

17
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,200
repeating forever, the
unconscious act prolonging

18
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,600
forever, the unseeing will
cradled the cosmic drowse of

19
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,000
ignorant Force, whose moved
creative Slumber, Kindles the

20
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,700
sons and Carries our lives in
its somnambulist world.

21
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Athwart.
The vein enormous trance of

22
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,800
space, it's formless stupor
without mind or life, a shadow

23
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,600
spinning through a soulless void
thrown back once more into

24
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,600
unthinking dreams.
Earth, we old abandoned in the

25
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,400
hollow gulf's.
Forgetful of her spirit.

26
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,600
And her fate, the impassive
skies were neutral.

27
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:25,600
Empty still.
Then something in the

28
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,000
inscrutable Darkness stirred, a
nameless movement and unthought

29
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,300
idea, insistent to satisfied
without a name, Something that

30
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:46,400
wished but knew not how to be
teased the incontinent to wake

31
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,100
ignorance.
A throw that came and left a

32
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:56,800
quivering Trace gave room for an
old tired, want unfilled at

33
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,900
peace and it's subconscient
moonless cave to raise its head

34
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:07,000
and look for apps and light
straining closed eyes or

35
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,400
vanished memory like one who
searches for a bygone self.

36
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,100
And only meets the corpse of his
desire.

37
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:23,200
It was as though even in this
knots profound, even in this

38
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,200
ultimate dissolution score
there.

39
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,300
Lurked an done remembering
entity Survivor of a slain and

40
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:37,300
buried past condemned to resume
the effort and the Pang Reviving

41
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:42,900
in another frustrate world.
And unshaped Consciousness.

42
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:48,100
Desired light And a blank
prescient urine towards distant

43
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:54,500
change as if a child like finger
laid on a cheek reminded of the

44
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,100
Endless.
Need in things.

45
00:03:56,500 --> 00:04:01,000
The heedless mother of the
universe and infant longing

46
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,200
clutched the sombre vast.
Insensibly somewhere.

47
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,400
A breach began a long loan line
of hesitating Hue, like a vague

48
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,200
smiled, tempting, a desert heart
troubled.

49
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,100
The far rim of life's obscure
sleep.

50
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:26,400
Arrived from the other side of
boundlessness, and I have deity

51
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,500
peered through the dumb.
Deeps, a scout in a

52
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:34,900
reconnaissance from the sun.
It's it seemed amid a heavy

53
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:40,700
Cosmic, rest the torpor of a
sick, and weary world to seek

54
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,700
for a spirit soul and desolate
to Fallen to recollect,

55
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:51,300
forgotten Bliss.
Intervening in a Mindless

56
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,400
Universe.
Its message, crept Through The

57
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Reluctant hush calling the
adventure of Consciousness and

58
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000
joy and conquering nature,
Nature's disillusion, breast

59
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:12,000
compelled renewed consent to see
and feel A thought was sown in

60
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
the unsounded void.
A sense was born within the

61
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,800
darkness depths a memory
quivered in the heart of time as

62
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,000
if a soul long-dead were moved
to live.

63
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:30,800
But the Oblivion that succeeds
the fall had blotted, the

64
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,100
crowded tablets of the past and
all that was destroyed must be

65
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:41,000
rebuilt.
And old experience, labored out

66
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,500
once more.
All can be done if the God

67
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:52,300
touches their a hope stole in
that hardly dared to be amid.

68
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:57,900
The knights forlorn indifference
as if solicited in an alien

69
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:03,500
world with timid and hazardous
instinctive Grace orphaned and

70
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:08,500
driven out to seek a home and
errant Marvel with no place to

71
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:12,400
live into a far-off.
No, talk of Heaven.

72
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:19,000
There came The slow miraculous
gestures dim appeal, the

73
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,900
persistent thrill of a
transfiguring, touch persuaded

74
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:29,900
the inert black quietude and
beauty and wonder Disturbed the

75
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:34,600
fields of God.
I wandering hand of pale and

76
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,100
chanted light, that glowed.
A long of fading moments Brink

77
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:44,100
fixed with gold panel and
opalescent, hinge a gate of

78
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:50,400
Dreams a jar on Mysteries, Verge
one Lucent Corner, windowing

79
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:57,300
hidden things, forced the world.
Blind immensity to sight The

80
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:01,600
darkness failed and slipped like
a falling cloak from the

81
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,400
reclining body of a god.
Then through the pallid.

82
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Riff that seemed at first hardly
enough for a trickle from the

83
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,300
sun's out poured, the Revelation
and the flame.

84
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,900
Then through the pallid.
Riff that seemed at first hardly

85
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:14,600
enough for a trickle from the
sun's out poured, the Revelation

86
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,300
and the flame.
