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.
