“A new spirit of oneness will take hold of the human race”
There is no better way of honoring this landmark date than by remembering Sri Aurobindo’s “Five Dreams” -broadcast on All India Radio on the eve of India’s Independence, 15 August 1947. In it, he laid out a vision for the future of the world and humanity that he said were works in progress – but also a certitude. Here are some excerpts from two of his “dreams” that relate to our dream for Auroville – the first collective experiment created by The Mother to further and help manifest Sri Aurobindo’s great vision:
“… a world-union forming the outer basis of a fairer, brighter and nobler life for all mankind. That unification of the human world is under way … struggling against tremendous difficulties … but even then the final result is sure. For unification is a necessity of Nature, an inevitable movement … an outward basis is not enough; there must grow up an international spirit and outlook …A new spirit of oneness will take hold of the human race.”
“ a step in evolution which would raise man to a higher and larger consciousness and begin the solution of the problems which have perplexed and vexed him since he first began to think and to dream of individual perfection and a perfect society. … The difficulties in the way are more formidable than in any other field of endeavour, but difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.”
In Auroville, when entering the Matrimandir, we pass through the passageways that represent the Higher Forces of Wisdom, Strength, Harmony and Perfection. These are the inner qualities we need for the outer work – the difficult, but inevitable, realizations of Unity and Consciousness that are the reasons for the creation and existence of Auroville.
A4A is now in its 12th year of solidarity fundraising to consolidate and protect
Auroville’s City & Greenbelt land – and the area around the Matrimandir.
Join us for ensuring a secure future for Auroville’s physical body & base!
