The City of Dawn

ॐ


The Sun does not choose what to shine on.


True Divine Love sees All as One.


That is why It continues to create without limits,

Its hierarchical differences experiments, self-corrects,

Evolving towards a Beingness with a Direct Will

Over Its own Matter.


Purusha and Prakriti in integrality,

Finally,

The Life Divine.


But first before this Marvellous Beingness

You need a Change of Consciousness

From your false-separative gross mental

To the Truth-Unity Supramental.


The easiest and most joyful way for this

Is the Sunlit Path of Surrender to the Supreme Source,

And here in Auroville, our object of Bhakti

Is the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti.


This City of Dawn of the Kalki Avatar

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother

Has Her own differential Supramental flavour.


Anyone who wishes to participate is invited.


But, to live here in Auroville,

One must be a willing servitor

Of the Divine Consciousness-Force:

MahaShakti's superconscious Hero Warriors

Against the past that seeks to endure.


So, do carefully make your consenting choice

As Earth is obviously quite spacious

For anyone else to live their own Ideals.


But again if you wish to battle it out

In this concentrated Divine Battlefield

Aspiring for a truly meaningful change,

Then as our founder the Mother in Her Invite

Has generously said on 28th February 1968:


"Greetings from Auroville to all men of goodwill.


Are invited to Auroville all those who thirst for progress and aspire to a higher and truer life."


And has left us with our Three Core Ideals¹,

Aims and Principles²,

And all their Avataric guidance and revelations³

Towards the Divine Manifestation

Of the new apex species the Supramental being.


A new beingness beyond the obvious limitations

Of the transitional humans

That will take a few more generations.


And so we consciously prepare this City of Dawn

For all the incoming Sun-eyed Children,

A Yantric city-wide Gurukul modern,

A Garden City of unending education

And constant progress befitting Her host,

Bharat Mata the Guru of Nations.


We joyfully continue on...


ॐ

Ultimate Aim

Image
"Yogic Samata is equality of soul, equanimity founded on the sense of the one Self, the one Divine everywhere—seeing the One in spite of all differences, degrees, disparities in the manifestation. The mental principle of equality tries to ignore or else to destroy the differences, degrees and disparities, to act as if all were equal there or to try and make all equal. It is like Hriday, the nephew of Ramakrishna, who when he got the touch from Ramakrishna began to shout, “Ramakrishna, you are the Brahman and I too am the Brahman; there is no difference between us”, till Ramakrishna, as he refused to be quiet, had to withdraw the power. Or like the disciple who refused to listen to the Mahout and stood before the elephant, saying, “I am Brahman”, until the elephant took him up in his trunk and put him aside. When he complained to his Guru, the Guru said, “Yes, but why didn’t you listen to the Mahout Brahman? That was why the elephant Brahman had to lift you up and put you out of ha...

A Shared and Lived Divinity

Image
"The Divinity mentioned by Sri Aurobindo is NOT A PERSON… He insisted a lot on this. “… is not a person, but a condition to be shared and lived by all those who prepare themselves for it.” To those who "are silly, they still feel, “Oh, if I could stay very quiet, then I would change.” They need a slap. That’s all. There's still some friction." From who, again? Here, for those who still don't get it: "There was a rather interesting phenomenon (it was yesterday or the day before), amusing little details: now the last member of the Government of India has been converted, so to speak. All the members of Government (the Central Government—I don’t mean the whole country, but of the centre), all the members of the Central Government are … (what should I say?) I could almost say “apprentice disciples of Sri Aurobindo,” with a great goodwill to serve. And everywhere, everywhere in the world, the signs of a CONSCIOUS goodwill awakening." "And then, resistanc...

The Supramental Solution

Image
"What is the solution?" Amidst the intense collective churnings, this question was again asked by another aspiring True Aurovilian, and surrender as an answer is highlighted. This Sunlit Path of Surrender or Bhakti has always been the anchor of Auroville’s Three Core Ideal Vision-Goals. ¹ But surrender to who and for what? Here are our Avatar founders Sri Aurobindo and the Mother for guidance: "But something has happened in the world’s history which allows us to hope that a selected few in humanity, a small number of beings, perhaps, are ready to be transformed into pure gold and that they will be able to manifest strength without violence, heroism without destruction and courage without catastrophe. But in the very next paragraph Sri Aurobindo gives the answer: “If man could once consent to be spiritualised.” If only the individual could consent to be spiritualised… could consent." ² "And even this unification which already demands a return to the Spirit...
