About Reading The Life Divine, Reading Savitri
The first article in this booklet explains the basis for the study circle talks on The Life Divine conducted at Savitri Bhavan. Subtitled “Some Highlights of a Pilgrimage”, the text signals eight highlights of The Life Divine, including among others the foundation of Sri Aurobindo’s world view, the ascent of the soul, the divinisation of matter, and spiritual evolution—the keynote of earthly existence.
The second article, “Reading Savitri for Progress and Delight”, describes the many ways that people approach the reading of this epic poem. But the author warns that without the deeper response of our souls a continuous reading becomes a ritual, an aesthetic appreciation hardly feasible, an intellectual study at risk of engendering a stereotyped understanding. The poem should be read as a means of progress and for the delight of the soul.
