On Auroville 2022 to 2025

-4: 03-05-2922. “To the team of „Evolving Galaxy‟: Greetings, The work you have been doing with this regular bulletin is very helpful, as you try to maintain clarity; often you urge everyone who reads it to join some action or sign some petition and you may not know really why some of us do not follow suit. The thing is that this dichotomy, this conflict of views, interpretations and suggestions is not new, it has been simmering and sometimes gaining, sometimes losing ground to stage a battle, but even the practice of seeking outside support and intervention to bolster a particular viewpoint is not new at all; what is unprecedented is the scale and the conjunction of political climate, symbolic anniversary and the very type of personality and drive to break through ethical borders. It is our collective failure that we have been unable or unwilling to address this internal conflict in a true way – the way Mother has indicated in so many of Her messages and answers. So now it has gone to a higher level of urgency and resolution. To obtain the removal of some from a particular working group meant to represent the community will serve no purpose at all and only force matters further away from any possible offering. (I had initially felt all 7 members of the Working Committee were equally at fault in the sense that they had not alerted the rest of us in time about the looming formations, whatever their individual opinions may have been and therefore all 7 had somewhat betrayed the trust we placed in them, but the larger meetings did not debate this issue at all and now it makes no sense to induce worse entrenchments amongst us) You are inviting comments and suggestions, so here are some: In fact it is plain and simple – I feel the only way for us to increase our receptivity to the Grace is to stop arguing and to choose silence. I have written of it to all a couple of times on Auronet, but everyone seem to be addicted to more statements and counter- statements and expounding one‟s own views. So now I would suggest again to act in silence: for instance one could call everyone, and I mean everyone, to sit in complete silence near the Foundation office, without any animosity or rigidity, just sit in real silence, and call for Harmony and Clarity on the way forward; to repeat this action perhaps daily every day for an hour or so, without expectation, in ho nest offering to the Mother‟s Force. There are battles raging everywhere; we must surely try our very best and not let the moment pass without a real progress being made. This is what I can suggest at the moment. Divakar ”
