The Goal

To all goodwilling participants and aspirants, here to remind us of the Supreme Goal underlying the progressive development of Auroville this City of Dawn in the bosom of Bharat Mata, Cradle of the Supramental being¹:

https://incarnateword.in/compilations/the-goal

“India has become the symbolic representation of all the difficulties of modern mankind."

“India will be the land of its resurrection—the resurrection to a higher and truer life.”

"And the clear vision: the same thing which in the history of the universe made the earth the symbolic representation of the universe so as to concentrate the work on one point, the same phenomenon is now taking place: India is the representation of all human difficulties on earth, and it is in India that the… cure will be found. And then, that is why—THAT IS WHY I was made to start Auroville."

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother

ॐ

All is a living symbolism,
A hologram, a simulacrum,
Beings born-unborn-reborn
In the unfolding fractions of Time,
Experiencing in the bosom
Of the Supreme Divine Mom.

Immersed in Her Cosmic Water,
The MahaShakti Creatrix Mother²
In Divine Love prompts and nurtures,
Compels with Executive Power
All Her Beloved Children
Towards the Life Divine.

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...

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...

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...
