We do believe that the time has come for the experiment to be lived openly, on the
earth, now.
We request all of those who do have power, material or political power, and respect
it as a force to be used in truth, for the sake of Truth and before the Truth, to help
protect that little spot of the earth so that the Experiment can take place and grow
and be manifest.
We ask from everyone material and moral support, and above all, understanding.
We do trust and believe that what we shall find in the course and movement of our
progress will be of direct help for all of humanity.
But we need the time and the space to make that progress.
India has welcomed Auroville at the time of its conception and birth.
Now too India must welcome Auroville at a time of its growth most delicate and
requiring most attention and care and loving comprehension.
We wish to work in collaboration with India, with all men and women who share our
aspiration all over the world and we ask for their support to help preserve the
possibility that Auroville represents, and its existence.
For, if this could not happen, and if Auroville could not be allowed to live, it could
mean that this world is bound to its self-destruction…”
