Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close,–
Bride of the Fire!
I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose,
I have slain desire.
Beauty of the Light, surround my life,–
Beauty of the Light!
I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief,
I can bear thy delight.
Image of ecstasy, thrill and enlace,–
Image of bliss!
I would see only thy marvellous face,
Feel only thy kiss.
Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart,–
Call of the One!
Stamp there thy radiance, never to part,
O living Sun.
Some of the poems which Aurobindo has written are really great poems which have come through the pen of the Master, the Yoga Guru. Bride of the Fire and Rose of God are alike as Revelation and Trance of Waiting.
Aurobindo asks Bride of the Fire to clasp him and to transform and metamorphose him. The fire which appears to be red and rosy he wants to be with, he longs and aspires to be with. The search for the red will lead unto the red. A mystical union, a re-union is the thing dreamt about, envisaged. Our journey is fire to fire. How will the red redden it all? The red will contain in. The mundane and mortal rose not, but the Divine Rose blooms it. Have you ever seen and marked? Where is it? It is in the heart full of love. Fire, how mystical is it? The Holy Fire!
There is nothing as extent or existent. Desire is dead in him. The earthly rose charms him no more. He is now a remnant of the Divine Rose, the Mystical Rose Divine, the Divine Flame.
The heart has turned into a temple of his where he can now hear the voice echoing, reverberating.
The Sun of suns, he asks to take him to, asks to merge into, gold scattering gold, sunbeams falling around and radiating to turn it golden. Divine Ecstasy is the main thing. Discarding lust and infatuation, illusion and hallucination, he seeks to be with. God is Image of Ecstasy, Voice of Infinity.
How to feel that radiance, that joy and spirit, is the main thing! How to be colored in His Color!
The Divine Flame burning, how to feel it the radiation of the Sun of suns! How the gold of the Golden Light! How beautiful it is to feel the scattering of golds! How does one feel the Glow of the Divine?
