The entity named "BLACK" by Sri Aurobindo (1872 - 1950)

At last I find a meaning of SOUL's birth into this universe terrible and at the same time sweet.

I who have felt the hungry HEART of EARTH aspiring BEYOND HEAVEN to  BLACK's feet.

I have seen the beauty of IMMORTAL EYES, and heard the passion of the LOVER's  flute, and
known a DEATHLESS ecstasy's SURPRISE and SORROW in my HEART FOREVER MUTE.

Nearer and nearer now the MUSIC draws, LIFE SHUDDERS with a STRANGE FELICITY;
ALL NATURE is a wide enamored PAUSE hoping her Lord TO TOUCH, TO CLASP, TO BE.

For THIS MOMENT LIVED the AGES PAST;   the WORLD now throbs FULFILLED IN ME AT LAST.


For over 40 years, Sri Aurobindo worked for his vision of a divine life on earth.
Through his expression of inner experiences able to access the state of consciousness beyond the usual awareness, his writings and poetry gives us a glimpse of higher worlds, and as well as a poetic description of his elevating experiences he left a legacy which reflects his hopes of a golden future for humanity.
