The Spirit of Auroville

On 28.3.70 I wrote a letter to the Mother:

My dearest Mother,

For the last two months I have been thinking of asking you about Auroville—especially the Matrimandir.

Once you wrote to me to ask you directly regarding Auroville, because you alone knew the future plans of Auroville.

I wonder whether Auroville will be built according to your vision or according to the vision of human beings!

I feel that there seems to be little Harmony, Unity, Peace, understanding and collaboration among people. Moreover there is no money at all.

Owing to the financial difficulties surely the Divine's plans should not be changed or minimised in any way.

I came to know that there would be no lake around the Matrimandir. The Urn would remain as it is and Matrimandir will be somewhere nearby in a globe-like shape instead of in a lotus shape.

Mother, please, believe me, I am not anxious about my house over there. I am not particular. House or no house makes no difference to me so long as I am near you.

I shall be grateful and happy if I will know the truth from you about the plans of the Matrimandir.

In case everything will be built in a hurry and on a small scale and not quite according to the Divine's Will because of the financial difficulties, then truly it will be very sad and disappointing for the whole of Auroville. For the Matrimandir is the Soul of Auroville and the Soul of the whole World.

Now will not the Supreme Lord do something for His own Dream?

With Love

Yours,

Huta
