“There are indeed three things in the Gita which are spiritually significant, almost symbolic, typical of the profoundest relations and problems of the spiritual life and of human existence at its roots; they are (1) the divine personality of the Teacher, (2) his characteristic relations with his disciple and (3) the occasion of his teaching.
(1) The teacher is God himself descended into humanity;
(2) the disciple is the first, as we might say in modern language, the representative man of his age, closest friend and chosen instrument of the Avatar, his protagonist in an immense work and struggle the secret purpose of which is unknown to the actors in it, known only to the incarnate Godhead who guides it all from behind the veil of his unfathomable mind of knowledge; (3) the occasion is the violent crisis of that work and struggle at the moment when the anguish and moral difficulty and blind violence of its apparent movements forces itself with the shock of a visible revelation on the mind of its representative man and raises the whole question of the meaning of God in the world and the goal and drift and sense of human life and conduct.”

“
“(1) The disciple (Arjuna) has to rise beyond this Force and its three modes or gunas; he has to become trigunatıta.
(2) Not to her (gunas) has he to surrender his actions, over which he has no longer any claim or “right”, but into the being of the Supreme.
(3) Reposing his mind and understanding, heart and will in Him, with self knowledge, with God-knowledge, with world-knowledge, with a perfect equality, a perfect devotion, an absolute self-giving, he has to do works as an offering to the Master of all self energisings and all sacrifice.
(4) Identified in will, conscious with that consciousness, That shall decide and initiate the action.
This is the solution which the Divine Teacher offers to the disciple.”![](Img/dotted.gif) |

“This (descent of Divine Force) has repeatedly been my experience lately, with a vision and a conviction, the conviction of an experience: the two vibrations (Truth vibration of Spirit and falsehood vibration of Matter) are like this (concomitant gesture indicating a superimposition and infiltration), all the time – all the time, all the time.
Maybe the sense of wonder comes when the quantity that has infiltrated is large enough to be perceptible. But I have an impression – a very acute impression – that this phenomenon is going on all the time, all the time, everywhere, in a minuscule, infinitesimal way (gesture of a twinkling infiltration), and that in certain circumstances or conditions that are visible (visible to this vision: it's a sort of luminous swelling (of brain)– I can't explain), then, the mass of infiltration is sufficient to give the impression of a miracle. But otherwise, it's something going on all the time, all the time, all the time, continuously, in the world (same twinkling gesture), like an infinitesimal amount of Falsehood replaced by Light ... Falsehood replaced by Light ... constantly.
And this Vibration (which I feel and see) gives the feeling of a fire. That's probably what the Vedic Rishis translated as the "Flame" – in the human consciousness, in man, in Matter. They always spoke of a "Flame." It is indeed a vibration with the intensity of a higher fire.” |

“... Because there comes a time when one perceives the entire universe in such a total and comprehensive way that, in truth, it is impossible to remove anything from it without disturbing everything. And going a couple of steps further, one knows for certain that things which shock us as contradictions of the Divine are simply things out of place. Each thing must be exactly in its place, and what’s more, be supple enough, plastic enough, to admit into a harmonious, progressive organization all the new elements constantly being added to the manifest universe. The universe is in a perpetual movement of internal reorganization, and at the same time it’s growing: it’s becoming more and more complex, more and more complete, more and more integral – indefinitely. And as the new elements manifest, the whole reorganization must be built on a new basis, and thus there isn’t a second when ALL is not in perpetual movement. And when the movement is in accord with the divine order, it’s harmonious, so perfectly harmonious that it’s almost imperceptible....” |

“Delight shall drop down from my nectarous moon My fragrance seize thee in the jasmine’s snare,
My eye shall look upon thee from the sun.
Mirror of Nature's secret spirit made,
Thou shalt reflect my hidden heart of joy,
Thou shalt drink down my sweetness unalloyed
In my pure lotus-cup of starry brim.”

Transformation of human nature by brief Divine Touch: |
“A new life dawns, he looks out from vistas wide;
The Spirit’s breath moves him but soon retires:
His strength was not made to hold that puissant guest.” |

“A little gift comes from the Immensitudes,
But measureless to life its gain of joy;” |
Savitri-237 |
“A free and divine incident no more
At each moment willed or adventure of the soul,
It lengthened a fate-bound mysterious chain,
A line foreseen of an immutable plan,
One step more in Necessity’s long march.” |

A Brief Touch of Divine Love: |
“The persistent thrill of a transfiguring touch1
Persuaded the inert black quietude2
And beauty and wonder disturbed the3 fields of God.” |
Savitri-3 |
(1: of Divine Love, 2: of Inconscient Sheath, 3: Inconscient) |
“A Splendour1 presses or a Power breaks through,
Earth’s great dull barrier is removed awhile,
The inconscient seal is lifted from our eyes
And we grow vessels of creative might.” |
Savitri-108 |
(1: of Divine Love) |
“But rarely burns the flame nor burns for long;
The joy it calls from those diviner heights
Brings brief magnificent reminiscences
And high splendid glimpses of interpreting thought,
But not the utter vision and delight.” |
Savitri-112-13 |
“Absorbed in the present act, the fleeting days,
None thought to look beyond the hour’s gains,
Or dreamed to make this earth a fairer world,
Or felt some touch1 divine2 surprise his heart.” |
Savitri-145 |
(1: of, 2: Love) |
“A quick celestial flash1could sometimes come:
The illumined soul-ray fell on heart and flesh
And touched with semblances of ideal light
The stuff of which our earthly dreams are made.” |

(1: of Divine Love) |
“A touch1 supreme2 surprised his hurrying heart,
The clasp was remembered of the Wonderful,
And hints leaped down of white beatitudes.” |

Happy to enjoy one1 touch of things supreme,” |
Savitri-239 |
(1: brief) |
“A splendour sullied by the mortal air,
Love passes through his heart, a wandering guest
Beauty surrounds him for a magic hour,
He has visits of a large revealing joy,
Brief widenesses release him from himself,
Enticing towards a glory ever in front
Hopes of a deathless sweetness lure and leave.” |
Savitri-340 |
“All that the lightning-flash of love reveals…
Even a brief nearness1 has reshaped my life.” |
Savitri-406 |
(1: of Divine Love) |
“Awhile she moved through a blank tranquillity
Of naked Light from an invisible sun,
A void that was a bodiless happiness,
A blissful vacuum of nameless peace.” |
