What is the Secret of Poetry?
Let us start from basics.
Why is Kavya Sastra, the Science of Poetry,
Considered as the greatest Science?
Beauty walking celestial is Poetry,
Wisdom’s Center and Circumference,
Cent percent divine and Great Healer,
And foreseer of Scientific Knowledge.
My friend once mentioned
Poets had some great experience.
They had transcendental experience,
When Mind hit the Quantum Ground State.
Quantum Ground State has beendefined,
As the Field of All Possibilities.
As the State of Least Excitation of Consciousness,
And it can transmute men into poets and philosophers !
Aurobindo experienced three of the Four,
Faculties of the Intuitive Reason,
Revealation, Inspiration and Intuition,
Known to Rishies as Ila, Saraswati and Sarama,
Ila is Revealation,
Saraswati is Inspiration,
Sarama is Intuition,
All of them belong to Psychic Research,
Kalidasa’s experience of Transcendence,
Was symbolically depicted as a meeting,
With the Mother of World Poetry, Kali,
Who inscribed greatest mantra on his tongue
Mother Kali is emblematic of the Ground State,
And Kalidasa, the common man turned poet.
The fountain of Poesy that flowed out of him.
Was due to divination by the Ground State.
The Language of the Philosophers,
Poetry is the Revealation of the Heart !
She can survive Cycles of Time,
And perceive the Celestial Diameter !
