Re-membered

As the lost Divine Sparks
We search here, there, everywhere
Looking for a way back home
To the Divine Love and Life
That we seem to have forgotten.

Along the way we meet each other,
As family, friends and lovers,
False and part truth guides,
Formidable foes and allies,
Until for some Divine Grace
Amidst a raging storm of tears
We finally meet Her,
The Supreme Divine Mother,
And in Her loving embrace
She whispers, "At last my child,
You have re-membered."

Now safely protected by Her,
With courage as Her Hero Warrior,
We embark on the Epic Quest
For true and total freedom,
Also for all Her other children
In the Ignorance still bound,
Needing a City of Dawn
As a living dynamic symbol
Acting as a collective contagion,
A Cradle for the Life Divine.

“If we would realise a higher formation or status of being, then it is still through Her, through the Divine Shakti, the Consciousness-Force of the Spirit that it has to be done; our surrender must be to the Divine Being through the Divine Mother: for it is towards or into the Supreme Nature that our ascension has to take place and it can only be done by the Supramental Shakti taking up our mentality and transforming it into Her Supramentality." — Sri Aurobindo

"The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent.

Little by little it will be revealed to us what this new species must be, and meanwhile, the best course is to consecrate oneself entirely to the Divine." — The Mother

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...
