Sri Aurobindo was a great philosopher but his Philosophy is not a fine product of his profound intellect, it has grown out of his life experience. His experiences of various sort resulted in permanent realization in his consciousness. He denied that he was a philosopher. It is correct as he never wrote any philosophy as such and his philosophy is not the result of any deliberate attempt to write out any philosophy. It can be asserted that Sri Aurobindo in the process of his spiritual sadhna or meditation or practices and disciplines, perceived certain truths, experienced particular conditions of consciousness, penetrated beyond the multiple veils of physic phenomena and found himself in the presence f the eternally evolving spiritual person in his infinite power and super abundant joyful play. The gist of his philosophy is that it establishes the oneness of the Absolute or Brahman without denying the reality of the world. Savitri is poetry and philosophy and is based on Sri Aurobhindo's own yogic experiences and realization. Savitri is the answer to our existential' problem, to our fate, problems of pain and their solutions. Yoga leads to right knowledge and right knowledge makes right action possible. Savitri is an example of a woman who bravely faces the existential problem and masters it. She is the redeemer of her husband and of the world. So efforts are but here to find out the way offate and the problem of pain in human life by studying Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri and thereafter its solutions as well.
