Thy golden Light came down into my brain
And the grey rooms of mind sun-touched
became
A bright reply to Wisdom's occult plane,
A calm illumination and a flame.
Thy golden Light came down into my throat,
And all my speech is now a tune divine,
A paean-song of Thee my single note;
My words are drunk with the immortal's wine.
Thy golden Light came down into my heart
Smiting my life with Thy eternity;
Now has it grown a temple where Thou art
And all its passions point towards only Thee.
Thy golden Light came down into my feet,
My earth is now Thy playfield and Thy seat
Sri Aurobindo wrote a remarkable series of sonnets during his poetic career. No
other poet in the English language attempted a sonnet series on spiritual topics. So
Sri Aurobindo's series is unique. Each sonnet is a brief, but clear description of a spiritual state or experience or mood. This sonnet is Shakespearean in structure,
consisting of three quatrains, followed by a couplet. If you notice the central
movement of the poem, it is suggestive of a descent. From the crown of the brain,
the seventh chakra of the kundalini, the thousandLpetalled lotus of the sahasrara, this '
descent moves lower and lower through the being, enlightening, purifying, and
transforming as it courses through the system. Again, we see how important the idea
of divine descent is in Sri Aurobindo's thought. The aspiring devotee's urge to fly
upwards has to be met by the answering descent of the Divine. Without this meeting
of the ascending and descending triangles, the Yoga of Sri Aurobindo cannot find
fruition. You will see that Sri Aurobindo's symbol, too, consists of two intersecting
triangles, one pointing upwards, the other downwards. In the middle is the square
which represents the supermind, in the midst of which b!ooms the lotus of
consciousness-awind, incidentally, also means lotus. The idea of avatarhood,
likewise, is an idea of descent, of the divine coming down to the earth. In this poem,
the light descends from the top and touches the mind, the throat, the heart, and finally
the feet. These four levels also symbolize the four planes of consciousness-the
mental, the psychic, the vital, and the physical which are important in Sri
Aurobindo's yoga. All of them, even down to the physical, have to be divinized
before "earthly life becomes the life Divine."
In this poem, the culmination is the whole of the ear
