Sri Aurobindo
He did not raid his mind for any cult
That proved otiose before his noble rage.
His power ampoules flowed from past the occult.
He was no human version of the sage.
He descended from gnosis to thesis
To which he added a new dimension,
Through the path of his own askesis,
Leading him to a higher ascension.
Synthesis broke all codes of yoga,
Leapt frontiers that shut the plenary light,
It is one long silent climbing saga
Of consciousness serenely scaling height.
His aesthesis has no occult design.
He merely passed the buck to the divine.
