Towards Auroville

out sayings and use them as projectiles, indignantly protesting the others’ ignorance.

But we forget that our given playground is sacred: Auroville is sacred, in the sense that She, the Shakti, has dedicated it to the “Supreme Lord” – as She would call That which cannot be named and yet is our source and our one goal – and so it belongs to the Divine, and no lesser power can claim it, nor should we misuse it. Today it is plain for all to see: this gigantic, hybrid, gracelessly assembled creature crouching upon the Earth, sniggering… “you will all come under my control or be destroyed…!!!” And from its perspective, Auroville is neither welcome nor well- appreciated – and so we have had our share of adversity, from without as from within. She has conceived and given birth to Auroville in such a way that it has in-built properties and vibrates in unique frequencies, so to say, much like a receptor and amplifier in th e world’ atmosphere : none of our actions may be particularly heroic, none of our products particularly sublime, but each carries that vibration, which is connected directly to the Force of the new consciousness and, in that fashion, we have a greater responsibility and the demand on us is greater for purity, integrity and receptivity.

Let us never forget that Auroville is an adventure, it is for trying, experimenting, making headways into the unknown, for a future worth all the troubles and the throes of evolution.
