My breath runs in a subtle rhythmic stream;
It fills my members with a might divine;
I have drunk the infinite like a giant’s wine.
Time is my drama or my pageant dream.
Now are my illumined cells joys flaming scheme.
And changed my thrilled and branching nerves to fine
Channels of rapture opal and hyaline
For the influx of the Unknown and the Supreme.
I am no more a vassal of the flesh.
A slave to Nature and her leaden rule;
I am caught no more in the senses’ narrow mesh.
My soul unhorizoned widens to measureless sight,
My body is God’s happy living tool,
My spirit is a vast sun of deathless light.
Sri Aurobindo preached and practiced Integral Yoga.
