We learn to offer and to remain oriented so that true use is actually made of all this
seeming denial, however well-meaning it may seek to appear.
Beneath the clamour and the disorder is a quietness of purpose.
Even though it is in our nature to betray, what is actually silently incarnating stands
through the very mechanism of betrayal, until enough of us will have let those
identities be consumed and will have risen as so many unique channels for the
Real.
The Matrimandir has come to stay.
In many hearths today a glimpse, a ray of the Presence has collected, created a
nexus and a hold.
The Matrimandir stands for That completeness: it will keep reminding us that the
work to be done is of necessity integral.
It tells of the perfection, of the entirety of the true aspiration, without which any
discovery will cancel itself by its opposite.
It makes use today of all the means available – bound as we are yet, in our
understanding of Matter – towards a lasting physical representation of this
perfection.
Yet its true shape is minimal and contained and free: when we cease our tinkering,
even for a moment, and listen and feel, it simply and directly calls for our care,
unconditional.
Human infants are totally, unreservedly, absolutely trusting.
To be aware of that is to know the Lord’s Gift of responsibility and evolution.
The Matrimandir is that infant too, even though it is the matrix of limitless
experience in conscious becoming.
Trustingly it makes that Gift and thus brings each of us before the choice.
When we enter the haven of the Matrimandir’s material structure, its concrete
sphere in the likeness of our earth, supported by the four main powers at play in
the true ordering of the inner nature; when we ascend within it to its upheld
chamber of silence and pass into its whiteness, we are entering a space for which
there is no precedent and no equal in the whole of the material universe.
There, are no gods to propitiate, no image to adore, no intermediaries to beseech,
no favours to be begged.
There, is an open, direct, uncluttered, safe channel all the way through and through
to goodness, divineness, the only reality.
Any gradation in one’s experience is only due to one’s readiness or development.
One’s receptivity is only measured in terms of unity in one’s being and nature: for
the true consciousness manifests in unity and through unity.
One will not reap the fruits of any exclusive tapasya; one will find no gratifying
echo to one’s pretences; one will obtain no solution to one’s faults.
Rather, like another air, another density, it will permeate any area of our nature
which, by the genuineness and honesty of its need, has opened a little the net that
enslaves.
