A mighty Guidance leads us through all

Savitri, (059/01-23)

We live not here upon a mechanical and casual globe bound by our Fate.

God has not abandoned us on this earth to a task beyond our capacity. He always accompanies us like a friend and a guide, helping us from life to life in our journey from mortality to immortality. He not only walks with us but actually carries us in His loving arms through the hardships and tribulations of our lives.

When we first came upon this earth to do His work and dared death, we were promised the crown of Immortality. This crown is safe in His hands, and no power can take away that glory from us.

इस यांत्रिक और अकारण प्रकट हुई धरा पर हम अपने भाग्य से बंधे हुए जीवन व्यतीत नहीं करते हैं। 

भगवान् ने हमें इस धरा पर अपनी क्षमता से अधिक कार्य के लिए नहीं छोड़ दिया है। वे एक मित्र और एक मार्गदर्शक के समान सदा हमारे साथ रहते हैं और मृत्यु से अमरता की ओर हमारी यात्रा में, जीवन दर जीवन, हमारी सहायता करते हैं। वे न केवल हमारे साथ चलते हैं अपितु वे हमें अपनी बाहों में लिए हमें जीवन के कठिनाइयों और दु:खों से पार ले जाते हैं।

जब हमने भगवान् का कार्य करने के लिए प्रथम बार धरा पर जन्म लिया और मृत्यु का वरण किया था, तभी उन्होंने हमें अमरता का मुकुट पहनाने का वचन दिया था। यह मुकुट उनके हाथों में सुरक्षित है, और कोई भी शक्ति उसे हमसे छीन नहीं सकती है।

Alive in a dead rotating universe

We whirl not here upon a casual globe

Abandoned to a task beyond our force;

Even through the tangled anarchy called Fate

And through the bitterness of death and fall

An outstretched Hand is felt upon our lives.

It is near us in unnumbered bodies and births;

In its unslackening grasp it keeps for us safe

The one inevitable supreme result

No will can take away and no doom change,

The crown of conscious Immortality,

The godhead promised to our struggling souls

When first man's heart dared death and suffered life.

One who has shaped this world is ever its lord:

Our errors are his steps upon the way;

He works through the fierce vicissitudes of our lives,

He works through the hard breath of battle and toil,

He works through our sins and sorrows and our tears,

His knowledge overrules our nescience;

Whatever the appearance we must bear,

Whatever our strong ills and present fate,

When nothing we can see but drift and bale,

A mighty Guidance leads us still through all.
