Sri Aurobindo's Savitri - The Auroville Radio Talks: Book II, Canto IV, Part 1

King Aswapathy, the great yogi, is traveling through the worlds to learn about life’s fall. She came to bring her glory but her plunge was into matter’s inconscience and from there she has to rise. Her need to find her true self again is joined to the hunger of earth. “In the heart she kindled a fire of passion and need. The inert cell awoke with her yearning,” The king sees life in her most fallen and degraded state when she first crawled out of her cabin of inconscient mud. She is in a world of falsehood and death An inconscient Power groped towards consciousness.
