action, a place for will. All this cannot coexist with immortality." And Savitri
keeps challenging the God of Death, denying whatever he is saying.
This goes on until we come to a point where she says:
I am, I love, I see, I act, I will. (p.594)
"For me," says Savitri, "to be, to live, means to love; to live means to will; to

When I have loved for ever, I shall know.
There are two kinds of love: one is a limited love, the love of the ego, and the

she says:
I know that knowledge is a vast embrace:
I know that every being is myself,
In every heart is hidden the myriad One. (p. 594)
"God manifests in every being, so as God lives in me and lives in every
being, the love I have is this thirst for union with the One. And that cannot
have compromises, that cannot be transient. O God of Death, do not wage
this war of words and reason with me. I will persist and I will continue. No
matter where you take Satyavan, I will follow you."
So I think with this I have given you a flavour of these two books, and we
should stop at this point, and once more thank all the friends who have made
this wonderful meeting possible. Thank you very much.
