His Yogic diary, the Record of Yoga, which he kept with some regularity from 1912 to 1920 and resumed briefly in 1927, has recently been published in book-form for the first time. It is now possible to get a fairly precise and detailed picture of some of the “testing” that had given Sri Aurobindo confidence in the effectivity of such a Force. It announces the action of a Force that could change the world. The uniqueness of Savitri among works of literature lies in the fact that it is not merely a product of the imagination, however beautiful, or even the expression of a purely subjective mystical experience. In Savitri, Sri Aurobindo created a symbol of the victory of this dynamic realising Force over the forces opposing it in the field of Matter and human life. That is why I am not alarmed by the aspect of the world around me or disconcerted by the often successful fury of the adverse Forces who increase in their rage as the Light comes nearer and nearer to the field of earth and Matter. I think I can say that I have been testing day and night for years upon years more scrupulously than any scientist his theory or his method on the physical plane. So although we have faith, (and who ever did anything great in the world without having faith in his mission or the Truth at work behind him?) we do not found ourselves on faith alone, but on a great ground of knowledge which we have been developing and testing all our lives. In a letter written in 1932, Sri Aurobindo explained how he had arrived at the knowledge on which he and the Mother based their work: We know well what is the difference between a subjective experience and a dynamic outward going and realising Force.
