The New Creator*
You rose in India, 0 glorious in contemplation, 0 Sun; Illuminator of the vast ocean of life. Clarioning the new Path of an unstumbling progression. You have dug up the immense, sombre bedrock of the earth's ignorance, And sought to unite in eternal marriage the devotion of the heart and the Force of life.
We bow to you, Sri Aurobindo, 0 Sun of the New Age, Bringer of the New Light! May India, irradiated by your rays, become the Light-house of the world!
To the country which, by losing its soul-mission, had lost the rhythm of its life's advance, And was darkened and blinded by the gloom of the ages, To point the inward way and reduce all obstacles to subservient aids, You have brought the message of the night's end, 0 divine Ambidexter, wisdom-bright!
We bow to you, Sri Aurobindo, 0 Sun of the New Age, Bringer of the New Light! May India, irradiated by your rays, become the Light-house of the world!
The dust of your feet turned the prison info a temple, Your lofty ideal has lifted the nation's life to a sublime aim, Your accomplishment has brought to our door the supreme treasure of Supermanhood,
Your feet faltered not even when the heart of the world
trembled. We bow to you, Sri Aurobindo, 0 Sun of the New Age, Bringer of the New Light! "
May India, irradiated by your rays, become the
Light-house of the world! You have made humanity hear the message, the great Truth which none has ever uttered: That man's birth-right is not only to freedom from slavery but to eternal divinity.
* Aruna Page – 392 You have proclaimed: The whole earth shall march forward with India in the van; India will set the example and the earth will follow her ideal.
We bow to you, Sri Aurobindo, 0 Sun of the New Age, Bringer of the New Light! May India, irradiated by your rays, become the Light-house of the world! Page – 393 |
