On Auroville 2022 to 2025

But She knew that no one could, if She ever had to also withdraw, stand in front on Her behalf.

Auroville was born on the 28 th of February, 1968, just a week after Her 90 th birthday.

Two processes were simultaneously speeding up in Her own body. She was visibly ageing.

And yet whoever entered Her immediate physical atmosphere experienced the concreteness of the Presence: all in Her and about Her was filled with Presence, there was only That, Conscious Force, Infinity incarnated, total wakefulness, absolute peace, unlimited love, direct knowing, inexhaustible strength, irrepressible power of harmony... Both Her action and Her atmosphere were increasingly tangible. There were more and more days when She would see hundreds of individuals filing before Her in Her upstairs room, in utter silence. At the same time She relentlessly pursued Her Yoga for the Earth, in the rapidly awakening consciousness of Her “cells”, Her physical, material aggregate, every part and organ and function undergoing a tremendous change of awareness and this caused extreme crisises, the contradiction becoming agonizing. The more She advanced on this unknown path, the more She experienced the direct interrelatedness of everything and the more difficult it would be to communicate what existed beyond our words and thoughts and concepts, yet more From the onset of their Work together, She and He had determined that one of the first objectives would have to be the development of a capacity to prolong the life of the body for as long as would be needed; not immortality as yet – for that was meant for another species, free from the present processes of reproduction and sustenance -, but an equilibrium of the cells that would allow for a harmonious continuation and self-renewal so as to serve the task to be accomplished. But this demanded an environment which was not available to Her and it gradually became obvious that She could not go on being physically accessible and active while concentrating on the requisites of this new Yoga – this concentration implied an effective protection from contagion, and a measure of understanding, of perceptiveness on the part of her physical entourage, and such did not seem to be sufficiently available. Meanwhile and in close correspondence with the march of Her Yoga, the entire world was as if rushed onwards and Her constant concern was to ensure enough harmony was actively spread so as to avoid destruction. truly and immediately than all of our routine-ruled existences. She was in two worlds or two conditions at the same time. Who could understand?
