The Mother : Contact Auroville
Huta had a strong connection with Auroville – a letter of hers to the Mother in 1965 inspired the creation of Matrimandir, the Mother’s Shrine; and it was to Huta that the Mother first explained, with sketches, her concept for the town-plan of Auroville. In 1966 Huta produced the painting which the Mother named ‘The Spirit of Auroville.’ All this is told in her books 'Matrimandir the Mother’s Truth and Love' and 'The Spirit of Auroville'.
THEME/S
I was told by some people that on 6.11.71, 800 trees were planted at Fertile. By now so many trees must have been planted everywhere only to get cut once again making deserts! This is the great tragedy. Building and breaking means sheer waste of time, money, energy and above all consciousness... All this leads us to confusion, chaos and catastrophe.
The Mother has written correctly:
Life could be quite simple and easy if man's mind did not introduce in it so many useless complications.
The Mother, Words of the Mother - II: The Mind
Here are Sri Aurobindo's brilliant words:
This erring race of human beings dreams always of perfecting their environment by the machinery of government and society but it is only by the perfection of the soul within that the outer environment can be perfected. What thou art within, that outside thee thou shalt enjoy; no machinery can rescue thee from the law of thy being.
