About The Theme of "Transformation" in Sri Aurobindo's Savitri
In this paper presented at a 2005 conference, the author traces the theme of transformation through the course of Aswapati’s sadhana. At every stage Aswapati has to make an effort of sadhana to be able to receive the transforming grace of the Mother. When at last a glimpse of the New Creation is revealed to him he then prays for the descent of a human embodiment of the Supreme Mother to come on earth to save and transform mankind. The supramental transformation, which only has the power to make earth the field of divine life, is shown as being prepared by Aswapati, embodying the steadfast aspiration of the earth, and Savitri, embodying the grace of the Supreme Mother.
