The Spirit of Auroville

On March 6 1974 I wrote to M. André:

Dear M. André,

In my previous letter I had mentioned about my visit to the Matrimandir. I took the flowers and blessing packet from Nolini-da and put them into the pillar of Mahalakshmi on the 21st of February at 6 p.m.

All of them there were nice to me. It had been a very lovely day. I felt the Mother's constant Force and Presence. For I was completely blank and with-drawn. It was a unique experience for me. All was Her Grace and I am eternally grateful to the Mother.

Shyamsunder and other people showed me around, since I was going there after two years. I noticed certain things which were contrary to the Mother's vision.

I would not dare to say anything if the Mother had not written to me about the Matrimandir. She also told me many things personally while doing the sketches.

In 1972 when Shyamsunder asked me about these particulars, I asked the Mother if I could give my file to him. She agreed instantly. Not only that, but she said that I should not give the original letters but copy them. She was really pleased and approved fully. She also saw the file before giving it to Shyamsunder. So the file is not useless. There are so many things there which correspond to the Mother's wish. Otherwise she would never approve of my giving this file to Shyamsunder.

Pourna Prema came to me on the 4th of this month and we had a heart-to-heart talk regarding the Mother's wishes about the Matrimandir. Pourna revealed to me many things, all that the Mother told her. I was amazed to learn from her that the Mother told her about the flame, which is exactly what the Mother told me repeatedly. Pourna also said that the Mother wanted flowers, trees, etc. around the Matrimandir, also that the Matrimandir can be like an open terrace... Oh, but this too the Mother told me, but I kept quiet since the whole plan was changed.

I disclosed to Pourna everything—all that the Mother told me and wrote to me. And Pourna said:

"Huta, all that you have said is exactly what the Mother told me, and it is true. My full support is and will be with you throughout. Now I know that the Truth will win, because somehow the Mother makes her way to work through her instruments. Now I am happy..."

We both felt very strongly the Mother's concrete Presence throughout our conversation.

Now we must all try our best to carry out her Will with perfect sincerity and faithfulness. Now we must not waste time—every moment is precious. I hope everyone will understand the meaning of her Supreme Vision and respect the Mother's wish, and Will to execute the mission given to everyone. Let us all work in perfect harmony and good-will in the Mother's Light and Love.

Loving regards in Her Love

Huta
