Visions of Champaklal

The Vision at Lower Part of Matrimandir

The smell of various flowers indicates the opening of the inner consciousness. The cutting of heads would indicate the removal of the mind consciousness which is man's ordinary instrument of inquiry and exploration. But behind the mind is the true power of which the mind is a distorted form. When this is set free from the distortion, a flow of white light takes place and this flow is what Auroville is intended to realise and can realise if it gives up the superficial course of ordinary thought. The next phase, after the liberation of this white light, is the turning of the whole truth of mind into a higher consciousness which is symbolised by the golden light going more and more upward to the Divine Goal.

Auroville is essentially meant to be the precipitation of a consciousness of divine unity. This consciousness is like a vast atmosphere hanging over the city and trying to come down and be fixed in the minds and hearts of the people there.

Although all kinds of constructive activity are a part of Auroville's growth what is basic is a change of the being Auroville is fundamentally to be built with bricks of the enlightened and harmonious consciousness.
