The Spirit of Auroville

On November 1, my spiritual birthday, the Mother said:

In September I gave the card of the world as it is. Now this card is of the Future World. (She pointed at the cover which was of an ethereal colour—a beautiful mixed marbling of soft pale blue, pale green and silver.) This World must be like this...

Then she opened the card. On one side there was a gold-coloured OM; on the other she had written:

Let all your life be entirely and exclusively governed by the Supreme.

The Mother, Words of the Mother - III: Your Life

My eyes were filled with grateful tears.

Then we had a long meditation. I felt strongly that all that the Mother had done was full of occult and spiritual meaning. Indeed, when our life is governed by the Supreme, the Future World cannot but manifest and the old world disappear.

Writing of the ancient world and the world of tomorrow has reminded me of this touching fable by Steve Goodier:

Both the hummingbird and the vulture fly over deserts. All vultures see is rotting meat, because that is what they look for. They thrive on that diet. But hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead they look for the colourful blossoms of desert plants.

The vultures live on what was. They live on the past. They fill themselves with what is dead and gone. But hummingbirds live on what is. They seek new life. They fill themselves with freshness and life.

Each bird finds what it is looking for. We all do.
