Thy golden Light came down into my throat, And all my speech is now a tune divine, A paean-song of Thee my single note; My words are drunk with the immortal's wine. Thy golden Light came down into my heart Smiting my life with Thy eternity; Now has it grown a temple where Thou art And all its passions point towards only Thee. Thy golden Light came down into my feet, My earth is now Thy playfield and Thy seat Sri Aurobindo wrote a remarkable series of sonnets during his poetic career. No other poet in the English language attempted a sonnet series on spiritual topics. So Sri Aurobindo's series is unique. Each sonnet is a brief, but clear description of a spiritual state or experience or mood. This sonnet is Shakespearean in structure, consisting of three quatrains, followed by a couplet. If you notice the central movement of the poem, it is suggestive of a descent. From the crown of the brain, the seventh chakra of the kundalini, the thousandLpetalled lotus of the sahasrara, this ' descent moves lower and lower through the being, enlightening, purifying, and transforming as it courses through the system. Again, we see how important the idea of divine descent is in Sri Aurobindo's thought. The aspiring devotee's urge to fly upwards has to be met by the answering descent of the Divine.

In the middle is the square which represents the supermind, in the midst of which b!ooms the lotus of consciousness-awind, incidentally, also means lotus. The idea of avatarhood, likewise, is an idea of descent, of the divine coming down to the earth. In this poem, the light descends from the top and touches the mind, the throat, the heart, and finally the feet. These four levels also symbolize the four planes of consciousness-the mental, the psychic, the vital, and the physical which are important in Sri Aurobindo's yoga. All of them, even down to the physical, have to be divinized before "earthly life becomes the life Divine." In this poem, the culmination is the whole of the ear
