Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Symbol of the Infinite by Sri Aurobindo: Savitri (II.11) - All that escaped conception's narrow noose Vision descried and gripped; their seeing thoughts Filled in the blanks left by the seeking sense. High architects of possibility And engineers of the impossible, Mathematicians of the infinitudes And theoricians of unknowable truths, They formulate enigma's postulates And join the unknown to the apparent worlds. Acolytes they wait upon the timeless Power, The cycle of her works investigate; Passing her fence of wordless privacy Their mind could penetrate her occult mind And draw the diagram of her secret thoughts; They read the codes and ciphers she had sealed, Copies they made of all her guarded plans, For every turn of her mysterious course Assigned a reason and unchanging rule. The Unseen grew visible to student eyes, Explained was the immense Inconscient's scheme, Audacious lines were traced upon the Void; The Infinite was reduced to square and cube. Arranging symbol and significance, Tracing the curve of a transcendent Power, They framed the cabbala of the cosmic Law, The balancing line discovered of Life's technique And structured her magic and her mystery.
