Ontological Confluence of Love and Death in Sri Aurobindo

UMA SHANKAR SINGH *

Abstract

Ontological confluence is one of the creative emotional stress of Ruru and Priyumvada. Ruru in Aurobindo’s Savitri is a portrait of a lady. She shows how her femininity is discomfited. She is torn by endless conflict and indecision. It makes her prematurely old. She felt desperate, scutting across the floors of a silent”. It is a view of restless night. Man is not just a physical body. He is a multiple being. The condition that she presents cannot escape the manifestation of life. She is under the condition of private agony, where a woman co-relates her divinity. It is the isolated working of femininity, which Aurobindo in his Savitri justifies as feminism of will and body. On several occasions of love and death Ruru and Priyumvada objectify their visual world of forest. It clears and constituetes the centrifugal force of feminism, expressed under psychological crisis. Ruru and Priyumvada have their human relationship that is sometimes romantic and sometimes the obscure ambiguity of feminism. This is the ontology of Love and Death - a positive proof of human relationship of psyche that is an indispensible condition of physical confluence. Ruru’s ending before Pururva makes a condition of “mystical million breast suddenly bare”. The prevailing ethics of love confronts the Freud’s world of physical copulation. It is the disguised fulfilment of supressed feminism. The interpretation of dreams refers to their mental activity and led them to dream condensation, displacement and psychic transposition of thought. It is a psychic device of ontological confluence differently felt and explained by Kamala Das. Devices like displacement and condensations express the abstract ideas converted into these two feministic realisations. It is the physical experience of the oppressor or the oppressed. It is something repressive and oppressive. Every expressive act of feminism is a form of feminism lived in particular moment of physical experience.
