and reproducing the very conditions that cause all the pain and all the ugliness of
humanity.
They are not here to issue new recipes for relief and escape, or to maintain, under
new garbs, the old status quo between Matter and Spirit.
They have come to claim the world for its only true Inhabitant.
They have come now because now the child we have all been carrying through
countless lives and experiences is ready to walk the earth, one with the Truth of all,
and filled with It.
They have wanted India to be its first earthly base, for India is the one, among all
nations of the world, who has never so far been able to forget the Divine, to live

They have wanted India’s children to stand up in the service of the Divine Mother,
naked to Her knowledge, true to Her, heralds of the creative power of Truth,
without Whom Love can never reign.
They expect those who aspire to hold the charge, to give themselves, beyond
concern for their own “spiritual salvation”, to the action of change that is reaching

for humanity is at once a bridge, a concentrate and a representative of all universal
possibilities, and the single evolutionary pathway for All.
Total is Their comprehending Love; They will neglect no part, no element, leave no

transitory as they are, of selfish increase, are feeding on their last chance.
Let us not be diplomats wavering between our gratitude to Them and the dictates
of the titans that seek to consolidate their last giant hold.
Let us speak Their names wholeheartedly, fearlessly, uncompromisingly, for it is the
name of a reconciled world we speak, and of a future of conscious peace.
Sri Aurobindo excused Himself from the public and political stage by stating He was
aiming at a far deeper revolution.
Is that revolution to be merely spoken of by scholars and devotees?
