The ACRES FOR AUROVILLE Land Campaign

24^th April 2022 – The Anniversary of The Mother’s Final Return to India

**The Flower The Mother Named “Aspiration”**

Auroville is the progressive creation of a place “where all human beings of goodwill who have a sincere aspiration could live freely as citizens of the world and obey one single authority, that of the supreme Truth”. In “A Dream”, the Mother observed that “the earth is certainly not ready to realize such an ideal, for mankind does not yet possess the necessary knowledge … nor the indispensable conscious force to execute it.” Yet, she said, “this dream is on the way of becoming a reality.” For what we do have is aspiration – a “power”, she said, which “resists all opposition, overcomes all difficulties” – a force that “rises like an arrow without caring for obstacles”. So let us together keep on aspiring, for as The Mother also stated: “A harmonious collective aspiration can change the course of circumstances”.
