Nehru in Sri Aurobindo Ashram

(16.1.55)

Nehru, the matchless pride of India
Imbibes today the Light that guides the world.
The future's face within the Glow is unveiled;
A self-revealing calm now feeds his eyes.
He cons the Motto wherein abides our heart-beats.
The Mother upon his far-winging mind bestows
The Ecstasy sublime; and her Love unknown
With fire-pure truth kindles his colossal soul.
He fears no more the burden of sombre fate;
Victory shall bloom and Peace shall hug the earth.
