The Birth of the Infinite
Poem by Sri Chinmoy dedicated to Sri Aurobindo
The Birth Of The Infinite
(5 a.m., 15th August 1872)
The golden dawn of the cosmos rapt in trance,
Awaits the birth of the All.
The seven worlds’ bliss converges in her heart
With august and sun-vast call.
Slowly the Peak unmeasured of rapture fire
Climbs down to our human cry.
His diamond vision’s deathless Will leans low
Our mortal yearnings nigh.
Suddenly life’s giant somnolence is stirred.
His all-embracing Wing
Declares, “I come to end your eyeless fear:
To me alone now cling!
“No fleeting dreams your teeming births do trace:
Now own my infinite bloom.
In me the flood of Immortality!
Nowhere shall be your doom.”
Excerpt from The Descent Of The Blue by Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy also wrote a poem "God in Human Form" for the the birth of Sri Aurobindo on 15th August 1945. 50 years later this poem was made into a song Dyulok Chariye
