At the Feet of the Master

Hymn to Sri Aurobindo

Salutation to Sri Aurobindo

The Effulgent Sun that is lighting up my being, building it anew,

The Constant Friend that is ever counselling this wayward wanderer out of glamorous pitfalls,

The Supreme Healer that is soothing this trouble-stricken soul with gracious calm,

The Patient Goldsmith that is chiselling this rough ore into a pure ornament,

The Beloved Gardener that is clearing up this hideous forest into a divine paradise,

The Great Painter that is fashioning this smoke-hued picture into a bright living form,

The Wondrous Architect that is dexterously hewing this rough material into lovely shape,

The Powerful Dynamite that is blasting up this crude inconscient rock into vibrant life,

The Fiery Rocket that is piercing the subconscient gloom, flooding it with light,

The Rare Touch-stone that is transmuting this crawling clod into wondrous gold,

The Mighty Master, that has condescended to transform this erring mortal into an Immortal!

Salutation to Sri Aurobindo, the Supreme Master!
