ACRES FOR AUROVILLE Land Campaign
21 February 2018 – the Anniversary of The Mother’s Birth
There should be somewhere upon earth
a place that no nation could claim as its sole property, a place where all human beings of goodwill, sincere in their aspiration, could live freely as citizens of the world, obeying one single authority, that of the supreme Truth; a place of peace, concord, harmony, where all the fighting instincts of man would be used exclusively to conquer the causes of his suffering and misery, to surmount his weakness and ignorance, to triumph over his limitations and incapacities; a place where the needs of the spirit and the care for progress would get precedence over the satisfaction of desires and passions, the seeking for pleasures and material enjoyments.
In this place, children would be able to grow and develop integrally without losing contact with their soul … titles and positions would be supplanted by opportunities to serve and organize. The needs of the body will be provided for equally … Artistic beauty in all forms, painting, sculpture, music, literature, will be available equally to all … For in this ideal place, money would be no more the sovereign lord. Individual merit will have a greater importance than the value due to material wealth and social position. Work … would be the means whereby to express oneself, develop one’s capacities and possibilities, while doing at the same time service to the whole group….
In brief, it would be a place where the relations among human beings, usually based almost exclusively upon competition and strife, would be replaced by relations of emulation for doing better, for collaboration, relations of real brotherhood.
The Mother
For 50 years, this special place has been growing as “THE CITY OF DAWN”
