Savitri-myth Not Mere Abstraction

After many years of undergoing very intense  Soul level downloads (Initiations) from  the Divine Ultimate, I chanced upon Aurobindo's writings, and realized this was the confirmation I needed to have before I could say I have a communal confirmation and  my primary peer person is Aurobindo. After many years of not being able to find my 'community of the adequate',  I now can say I have it!  Recently I mentioned I had Soul level encounter with him -- and  wrote, while we were  standing shoulder to shoulder (with white clad Aurobindo),  he was (telepathically) speaking words of encouragement, but don't recall the name of the post where I mentioned that.
Aurobindo's words confirm what I have been saying for a long time...Saying, that human evolution is divinely guided,  and those who truly hear this Call have no choice but respond to its mandate. The following excerpt is in words of someone who understands his work:

Sri Aurobindo has revealed the importance of the Savitri-myth by saying that it belongs to the Vedic cycle. It is not just a great tribute, but is an assertion of the Divine Word expressing itself in a new manifestive glory here. The fact that its structural outline can hold the profundity and the wideness, the twofold infinity of his spirituality, is itself a recognition at the substantiality of its splendour. We must understand that, although it is a symbol, people moving in it are not algebric substitutions of abstract characters, cartoon pictures jerkily portraying a cinematographic sequence; but they  are dynamic personalities in flesh and blood shaping and fulfilling the drama of life: they are "incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man..". The legend has therefore a certain historical basis as well, though may not be at one single point of space and time but spread over events in larger dimensions, yet all of them together unfolding the secret destiny.  

This is the Savitri we must accept and present and not the goody-good stuff that is often given to us by the pious sentiment. (...) The word of the Rishi has that power, and its object is to set out the universal Truth in the working of man and his Soul, to achieve through its mantric utterance a concreteness of reality triumphing over all that opposes it in the worldly affairs; that it be the vehicle of the highest dharma, of the inner movement finding its way in cosmic modalities. Savitri Mahatmya can therefore be appropriately proclaimed as the tale of a decisive divine action in this evolutionary unfoldment. If it is to be considered as a book, then it would qualify to be the precious life-blood of a master-spirit.  When the poet becomes the seer and hearer of the Truth-Word, kavayah satyasruthra, then through his creation we experience aesthetic delight of the spirit , we receive supreme revelation in a flame-body of the symbol he gives us, a symbol that is more than an image.
