THE RETURN TO EARTH
Sri Aurobindo
‘We have each other found, O
Satyavan,
In the great light of the discovered
soul.
Let us go
back, for eve is in the skies.
Now grief is dead and serene bliss
remains
The heart of all our days for ever
more.
Lo, all these beings in this wonderful
world!
Let us give joy to all, for joy is
ours.
For not for ourselves alone our
spirits came
Out of the veil of the Unmanifest,
Out of the deep immense Unknowable
Upon the ignorant breast of dubious
earth
Into the ways of labouring seeking
men,
Two fires that burn towards that
parent Sun,
Two rays that travel to the original
Light.’
Savitri,
