"The Golden Light" : A Sonnet by Sri Aurobindo Full Text

The
Golden Light



by Sri Aurobindo Ghosh
Thy golden Light came down into my brain



And the grey rooms of mind sun-touched became



A bright reply to Wisdom’s occult plane,



A calm illumination and a flame.



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.
