What have you left behind?……


Since we were kids, we always try to be “perfect” or if I have to be more precise “ideal”. We try to
do everything right because as a kid its easy to differentiate between good and bad. You know
cigarette is bad for health, alcohol is bad for health, we should not use bad words, we should ignore
what people say and think about us. As a kid its easy to do so because kids are closer to be an ideal
human being than any of us. I guess this is what the person was thinking when he said children are
avatar of gods. I mean when you think about it every god is just an ideal human being, the kind of
being we all wanted to be once. To be an ideal human we all might have promised ourselves that we
will never do this we will never do that, but now here we are trying to be as monstrous as possible. I
mean what else will describe us well, we are selfish and then we justify that its normal to be selfish
and if you are not there is something wrong with you, then you ignore your surrounding like its none
of your business. You turn a blind to everyone asking for help. I doubt if anyone of us will even feel
anything if something bad happens to us, our eyes are dried up. Well, I am no one to talk I am a devil
myself. This post is not for education or to provide information, this post I here to remind you what
you were and now what you are your younger self might not even recognize you. we broke so many
promises me made to ourselves and still repeating the same mistakes and we have become a
coward who is afraid of admitting mistakes and defeat. Slowly we all are becoming a man with no
morals except money.

This might be dark and depressing to hear but how are you going to deny it. Its best to except yourself as you are, good or evil doesn’t matter.

History of Auroville….

At its Annual Conference in 1964 and with Mirra Alfassa as its Executive President, the Sri Aurobindo Society in Pondicherry passed a resolution for the establishment of a city dedicated to the vision of Sri Aurobindo. Alfassa was the spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo, who believed that “man is a transitional being”. Alfassa expected that this experimental “universal township” would contribute significantly to the “progress of humanity towards its splendid future by bringing together people of goodwill and aspiration for a better world”. Alfassa also believed that such a universal township will contribute decisively to the Indian renaissance.

Site

A site, approximately 20 square kilometres of barren wasteland, some 10 km north of Pondicherry and 5 km from the coast was chosen for the city.

Inauguration

The inauguration ceremony attended by delegates of 124 nations was held on Wednesday 28 February 1968. Handwritten in French by Mirra Alfassa (the Mother), its four-point charter set forth her vision of integral living:

  1. Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But to live in Auroville, one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.
  2. Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.
  3. Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realizations.
