The Advent. February 1944

1944

The individual does not owe his ultimate allegiance either to the State which is a machine or to the community which is a part of life and not the whole of life ; his allegiance must be to the Truth the Self the Spirit the Divine which is in him and in all ; not to subordinate or lose himself in the mass but to find and express that truth of being in himself and help the community and humanity [...] The shortest of the spans of thought is tio ncreted into the last line of the poem ; so too the shortest of the feet of and is compressed into the clear Orl d bard mould of the monosyllabic fifth foot. [...] Thought is the angel the breath of whose nostrils softens even the heat of the journey the strength of whose wings—" great glimmering wings of wind "—bridges the distance between the here and the there indeed even brings the here and the there together and transforms them into an infinite here and an eternal now. [...] He alone holds in the clasp of his hands the clue to the future his own and the world's! But the possession of the Infinite is no easy business " not a happy canter to the goal "2; indeed " the possession of the Infinite cannot come except by an ascent to those supramental planes nor the knowledge of it except by an inert submission of Mind to the decending messages of the Truth-Conscou [...] The poem gives us not the philosophical justification for the soul's ascent to the Godhead on the wings of thought but' rather brings out in one dazzling wave of rhythmic sound the beauty and the glory and the ecstasy of the fact of ascent and triumph and splendid transformation.
