Consciousness which, as the Mother said,
‘insists’
upon harmonising all contraries! I
wish you had insisted on cooperation and harmony as I have been pleading.
Your action is based on falsehood and to claim a mandate to pronounce a
judgement on two dedicated and devoted Aurovilians is intolerable, to say the least.
It seems that you have learnt nothing from Auroville’s couple of decades old
history. Mother has given no ‘right’ to anyone to exclude or expel.
Have you given any thought to the idea of the cost that Auroville as a whole will
have to pay for your ill advised, ill considered and arrogant action? I can only
advise you to reflect again on the course of action you have chosen. I am sending
copies of this letter to the members of the Governing Board.
Love,
Krishna T”
Note: Walter and Kusum also lodged their open protests!
*To the Auroville Council, from Walter, 24 September 2003:
“Don’t you think that you are taking yourselves far too seriously?
You have the arrogance to thank two Aurovilians for their dedicated work? They
have never worked for you! They work at Matrimandir – you don’t. You and those
backing you up politically play no role in their relationship with Matrimandir. I have
learned in life that we all come on earth to fulfil our contract with the Divine in us,
as it were, and you have never been asked to be brokers in the matter. So the
question of asking Arjun and Divakar to resign or the idea of removing them by
political/legal means does not even come up. You can go on playing God and show
yourselves to everybody in utter ridiculousness. But you need to understand that
the price that Auroville has to pay for your action is high.
There are at least two ways to deflate the ego. One is surrender. The other is to
keep pumping the ego up until it bursts automatically. The choice is yours!
Your line of action – exclusiveness, removal and so on – in the past, now and in the
future stands rejected.
Regards,
Walter”
*To the Auroville Council/Working Committee, from Kusum, 24-09-2003:
“You are it seems in a greater hurry than the Divine: remove Arjun and Divakar
from Matrimandir! You are now even a step ahead of Mother – She who never
wanted to ‘remove’ anybody.
