‘appointed’. But those thrown out were also persons Mother appointed. And they
were ruthlessly removed from all contact with Auroville. It is held that they wanted
to possess Auroville – and this was a prime error. But EVERY SINGLE ‘mistake’ the
SAS made, every manipulation, every power game, every use of legal means is
being repeated by currently upheld ‘appointees’.
Sri Aurobindo speaks of one law of the universe – when and if you conquer
something, beware: for the spirit of that which you have conquered may actually
conquer you! Thus, those who ‘removed’ the SAS for the ‘ills’ it represented have
themselves become the permanent representatives and repositories of those ills!
Today this force, reaching out for control and possession, is clearly active and
visible. It hides behind arguments of sacred, divinely ordained appointments; and if
that does not work it puts forward arguments of power trips; and if even that does
not work, it is the argument of ‘reclaiming’ Matrimandir for Auroville. As if spiritual
force ever needs belligerent political manoeuvring to assert itself! Those who dare
point to the crass, subliminal political game are immediately dubbed dark forces –
or the unsuspecting followers and channels of dark forces! They must be purged for
their own good. And who would want the label of standing up for dark forces – all
but the bravest scurry for cover before such an accusation!
This Great Possessor force and its bullies upon the ground want to ‘seize’ Auroville
in the same manner as the SAS did; even if they use the arguments of the
Abrahamic religions. It is for this reason there is such a no-holds barred vicious
campaign against the Matrimandir group and anyone else who dares speak in its
favour. The little David with slingshot full of honest work must confront the great
and armoured Goliath of the united Empire holders who are the ‘keepers of the
truth’ of Auroville.
. To cut to the chase!
We should not allow ourselves to be distracted – the issue is not about recognition
of a ‘divinely chosen or appointed’ person: the issue is who or what will control
Auroville’s destiny, its money, its governance and, most of all, its Soul at the
Centre. There is a great deal of personal ambition in the main attackers. Already
there are those in the ‘entourage’ who are there simply because they see
themselves as the next Pope. Auroville and Matrimandir remains for some that
irresistible Eden, that forbidden fruit, which all such egoistic forces want to occupy,
to possess or to devour. And the present rounds of actions around the Soul are
merely the first step in a process that could establish for a long time this control,
this power dispensation.
Therefore it has the power to distort for a long period the future of Auroville; unless
a Grace intervenes!
. The continued fallout of Auroville’s political past.
It is also a strange illusion and distortion of a deeper truth when people imply that
the dark forces are always in the ‘other’. This often translates when history is
analysed as the position that the SAS was false or dark or wrong and the
Aurovilians were true and right. And today around the Matrimandir situation this
antediluvian ideology continues on track wanting to remove the ‘dark’ elements. It
