THE BOOK OF THE TRAVELLER OF THE WORLDS (PART 1) - 

TALKS ON SRI AUROBINDO'S SAVITRI (BOOK TWO)

— M. P. PANDIT

These talks, which cover the first half of the second book of Savitri, were given between August 1992 and January 1993. Aswapati, having achieved his own spiritual self-fulfilment as an individual, realises that the imperfect world around him has a higher destiny and undertakes a journey to discover all the planes of consciousness. In this commentary on the first six cantos of the Book of the Traveller of the Worlds, Aswapati, now acting as a representative of the entire human race, explores first the subtle-physical worlds of beauty and form and then the occult workings of the life force in the lower vital worlds. In Canto Six he ascends to a higher vital world, but his soul instinctively asks for a deeper joy than the “Kingdoms and Godheads of the Greater Life” can offer.
