On Auroville 2022 to 2025

Then He withdrew on the other side of the veil that is called “death”, so as to set a base of action right besides the physical plane, while the entire responsibility of the actual progress was left with Her. Indeed She was left in front, apparently alone, to lead and guide and venture ahead and open the way and set the conditions for the passage, invoking and calling down a new Descent, ceaselessly working at the purification and unification of Her own physical being and action. She widened and diversified Her immediate environment and propelled all around Her towards the future of the human race. Undoing all the walls of conditioning and refuting the division between Spirit and Matter, She affirmed and served and incarnated the true purpose of this manifest world, demonstrating that by union and unity only will humanity fulfil its mission. Not by strife nor by renunciation, not by domination nor by submission, not by competition nor by meek acceptance will mankind realize its true self, but by discovering and serving the truth of oneness. Even though the Mother had long harboured the seed of a new creation upon this earth – a new man and a new city have been repeatedly attempted as heralds and promises of a yet distant future -, it was only then, only now, now that She could turn this “house of flesh” into a blessed abode for the One, at least in terms of experience if not as yet in form and tangible expression, it was then only that She could set in motion the process of a more collective step of accelerated and concentrated evolution, so as to prepare the cradle of the new being. It was then and only then that She could call forth the birth of Auroville. It could be but a tentative approximation, a first collective expression of human aspiration and urge towards a truer life upon earth, but it would eventually develop a capacity for self-realization, provided its participants kept the flame alive and growing. The Mother, by definition, has innumerable children; yet there are those souls that have again and again followed in Her footsteps upon earth, souls that are no longer seeking for their own repose or liberation, but commit to the fulfilment of the eternal promise – when the whole earth will at last become the material site of living oneness and unlimited becoming. To each She opened Her arms and gave Her blessings, even to those whom physical birth had temporarily blinded to their own truth of being. She had already gathered around Her a few of Her eternal attendants, and been able to nurture and protect them so they could again, this time, assist in Her task. And thus the Mother sent Her call.
