This talk takes up the early period of Savitri’s life as she prepares for her work and her mission. The Incarnate Divine wearing a human shape grows amidst men. Though Divine she has consented to assume a mortal human cloak and identify with our humanity. Yet something of her divinity could still be seen and felt through the human cloak. Few can see beyond the outer form, fewer are ready to receive the touch and evolve. Still, fewer are ready to follow the path that is opened for man. But none could she find who would be the partner in the game divine. Therefore she stood alone amidst all the faces loved and all whom she helped and who were silent recipients of her grace and love.
I reached a place or a state of consciousness from which I told Sri Aurobindo just casually and quite simply: “India is free.” It was in 1920.
