Savitri rewards multiple readings

Your Bridge to Spiritual Evolution and Higher Consciousness ... by private stefan blog
Like the modern sage Anastasia of Russia, Braco is an example of natural evolution, a breakthrough beyond the current ceiling that great spiritual leaders such as Sri Aurobindo of India and Mirra Alfassa spoke of in the first half of ...
A disappointing experiment: review the recent scholarship (2005 and onward) on Aurobindo's great poem, Savitri. A quick keyword search reveals so little of critical substance, and so much of a speculative castles-in-the-clouds variety, or worse.
Savitri rewards multiple readings. It is a product of an interesting (and well-documented) time and place. There is a paucity of useful scholarship on it. For these reasons and others, it seems a very good object for a dissertation in English Lit or Cultural Studies. The hyperbolic claims made on its behalf by certain of its partisans (making of the text a cult object) constitute another question entirely.
In order for the human being to evolve beyond the limits of mind, there must be some “link” or “connection” that opens up the possibility of an evolution of consciousness. We try to develop the powers of mind through education, training, and experience, and in some cases, outstanding results are obtained, but all within what one might call the framework of mentality. Geniuses and prodigies clearly have developed, either through some kind of innate capability or through specialised training, and more likely through a combination of both of them, abilities that seem far out of reach to those of us with what might be termed the “ordinary” powers of mental application.
