Transformation?

 Transformation?

Om Namo Bagavathe Sri Auravindaya.

Oh God !  I surrender myself to you

Give me strength to swim across the powerful currents of these turbulent times.

 A litmus test?

 Dark phase in life makes  closer to God?

Unite with divine?

Is the Dark phase  a blessing?

Enlightened me? Awaiting Transformation ?

All my physical, mental trauma,pain,suffering and numbness left to You

 Oh ! Divine Mother awaken this ignorant soul.

Show the spritual path leading to eternal bliss.

Ah! I hear a voice.

Oh ! mortal,worry not.

A Tree poem by Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo's poem 

A Tree  

A tree beside the sandy river-beach

  Holds up its topmost boughs

 Like fingers towards the skies ,they cannot reach,

 Earth-bound, heaven-amorous. 

This is the soul of man. Body and brain

 Hungry for earth our heavenly flight detain. 

( Later edition of this work: The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo.- Set in 37 volumes.- Volume 2.- Collected Poems.- Pondicherry: Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 2009.- 751 p)

 A tree  by sri Aurobindo is a six line spritual poem containing a quartain and a couplet. abab rhyme scheme in quartain. He speaks about attaining higher level of sprituality in humans.Tree is used as a metaphor. A Tree beside river is with its branches upwards like fingers towards heaven.Though the boughs try to reach skies it cannot touch the sky. The poet talks about tree's positivity to reach Supreme God. Tree is deep rooted to the earth and immovable,still tries to reach divine. whereas the man is earthly bound and with carnal desires doesn't want to get spritual awareness.he always wanted to be in his dark castle with temporary & momentous happiness. the last couplet reveals that with the physical desires man detains his flight to heaven.
