साखरखेड्याची गोष्ट — The Story of Sugar Village
दाट वनराईच्या पल्ल्याड
आर्यभूषित साखरखेड
आनंदाचा गोडवा साखरेचा मळा
स्मित-आश्चर्यांचा सोहळा
गुऱ्हाळी गर्दी देवगणांची
बैठक भरली सप्तस्वरांची
हांक तुतारीची आसमंतात
थवेच्या थवे नील गगनात
मिथ्यापण नसे मृत्यू नसे
अग्नितप्त देहची असे
मधुरच सृष्टी माधुर्याची
उगमाकडे धांव उगमाची
अद्भुत चैत्यपुरुष घडवी
अमृतत्वाची थोरवी

The featured image shows a typical small place where jaggery is prepared from sugarcane juice. It is called गुऱ्हाळ.

चैत्यपुरुष chaitya purusha, is the psychic being, the Immortal in the mortal of the Rig Veda. The Mother’s experience is, it is the psychic being who will materialise and become the supramental being in the earthly evolution.

Beautiful poem. Does “अग्नितप्त देह” refer to some spiritual entity as well?

A couple of Vedic Rishis tried to have the body capable of bearing the Divine Light, holding it and making it luminous, without death. There was a partial success, Rishi Agastya had hung his body in front of the sun, like a piece of cloth, but it could not bear that intensity. It was called atapta tanu, अतप्त तनु, unbaked clay vessel, a body in which not enough tapas was done. But now a possibility has opened out in the Supramental Yoga of Transformation, of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. This is a radically new thing in the annals of spirituality.

Gauri Karandikar sends her comment:
Such a beautiful symbolism, the sugarcane being heated to draw it’s jaggery, like a spiritual being being prepared by tapa from its original mortal physical state.
The world around, the birds, the sky, and the music, and the Gods are witness to this transformation.
The dawn of enlightenment is as sparkling as the jaggery syrup and full of sweetness in its every atom just like the divine is explicitly experienced and expressed in an enlightened soul.
This is my interpretation, small attempt
