The Divine Worker (SAP 031)

This sonnet gives the state in which the one who works for the Divine dwells.

THE DIVINE WORKER

I face earth’s happenings with an equal soul;
In all are heard Thy steps: Thy unseen feet
Tread Destiny’s pathways in my front. Life’s whole
Tremendous theorem is Thou complete.

No danger can perturb my spirit’s calm:
My acts are Thine; I do Thy works and pass;
Failure is cradled on Thy deathless arm,
Victory is Thy passage mirrored in Fortune’s glass.

In this rude combat with the fate of man
Thy smile within my heart makes all my strength;
Thy Force in me labours at its grandiose plan,
Indifferent to the Time-snake’s crawling length.

No power can slay my soul; it lives in Thee.
Thy presence is my immortality.”

(Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems, p. 612)

The stones began falling in several directions at the same time, in places where there were neither doors nor windows.
