Wisdom Quotes from Savitri

More about the book

Discussing Wisdom Quotes based on Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri is a complex endeavor, as it transcends conventional interpretation. Savitri represents a profound revelation and the luminous vision of a Yogi-Poet, embodying the omniscient Word from a high transcendental Source. Reducing it to mere quotes risks trivialization, yet there are exceptional lines that can inspire new life, truth, beauty, power, light, and joy. This selection features aphoristic quotations, single lines, unrhymed couplets, and stanzas, all sourced from the poem's rich context. While isolating these lines may seem unusual, they possess a universality that aligns with the nature of aphorisms. Presented in the order they appear in the poem, these selections highlight the essence of Savitri. Some lines, due to their pronominal references, were excluded from this collection, even though they could enrich a representative book of quotations. Examples illustrate their depth, such as the exploration of creation's futility and the transformative journey towards light and truth. These concise statements carry universal implications, offering guidance for shaping one's life. Our focus remains on adhering closely to the original text, with few exceptions.
