I. GENERAL QUOTES

1. The Five Dreams by Sri Aurobindo

August 15th, 1947 is the birthday of free India. It marks for her the end of an old era, the beginning of a new age. But

we can also make it by our life and acts as a free nation an important date in a new age opening for the whole world,

for the political, social, cultural, and spiritual future of humanity.

August 15th is my own birthday and it is naturally gratifying to me that it should have assumed this vast significance.

I take this coincidence, not as a fortuitous accident, but as the sanction and seal of the Divine Force that guides my

steps on the work with which I began life, the beginning of its full fruition. Indeed, on this day I can watch almost all

the world- movements which I hoped to see fulfilled in my lifetime, though then they looked like impracticable

dreams, arriving at fruition or on their way to achievement. In all these movements free India may well play a large

part and take a leading position.

The first of these dreams was a revolutionary movement which would create a free and united India. India today is

free but she has not achieved unity. At one moment it almost seemed as if in the very act of liberation, she would fall

back into the chaos of separate States which preceded the British conquest. But fortunately, it now seems probable that

this danger will be averted and a large and powerful, though not yet a complete union will be established. Also, the

wisely drastic policy of the Constituent Assembly has made it probable that the problem of the depressed classes will

be solved without schism or fissure. But the old communal division into Hindus and Muslims seems now to have

hardened into a permanent political division of the country. It is to be hoped that this settled fact will not be accepted

as settled for ever or as anything more than a temporary expedient. For if it lasts, India may be seriously weakened,

even crippled: civil strife may remain always possible, possible even a new invasion and foreign conquest. India's

internal development and prosperity may be impeded, her position among the nations weakened, her destiny impaired

or even frustrated.

This must not be; the partition must go. Let us hope that that may come about naturally, by an increasing recognition

of the necessity not only of peace and concord but of common action, by the practice of common action and the

creation of means for that purpose. In this way unity may finally come about under whatever form — the exact form

may have a pragmatic but not a fundamental importance. But by whatever means, in whatever way, the division must

go; unity must and will be achieved, for it is necessary for the greatness of India's future.

Another dream was for the resurgence and liberation of the peoples of Asia and her return to her great role in the

progress of human civilisation. Asia has arisen; large parts are now quite free or are at this moment being liberated: its

other still subject or partly subject parts are moving through whatever struggles towards freedom. Only a little has to

be done and that will be done today or tomorrow. There India has her part to play and has begun to play it with an

energy and ability which already indicate the measure of her possibilities and the place she can take in the council of

the nations.

The third dream was a world-union forming the outer basis of a fairer, brighter, and nobler life for all mankind. That

unification of the human world is under way; there is an imperfect initiation organised but struggling against

tremendous difficulties. But the momentum is there and it must inevitably increase and conquer. Here too India has

begun to play a prominent part and, if she can develop that larger statesmanship which is not limited by the present

facts and immediate possibilities but looks into the future and brings it nearer, her presence may make all the

difference between a slow and timid and a bold and swift development. A catastrophe may intervene and interrupt or

destroy what is being done, but even then the final result is sure. For unification is a necessity of Nature, an inevitable

movement. Its necessity for the nations is also clear, for without it the freedom of the small nations may be at any

moment in peril and the life even of the large and powerful nations insecure. The unification is therefore to the

interests of all, and only human imbecility and stupid selfishness can prevent it; but these cannot stand for ever against

the necessity of Nature and the Divine Will. But an outward basis is not enough; there must grow up an international

spirit and outlook, international forms and institutions must appear, perhaps such developments as dual or multilateral

citizenship, willed interchange or voluntary fusion of cultures. Nationalism will have fulfilled itself and lost its

militancy and would no longer find these things incompatible with self-preservation and the integrality of its outlook.

A new spirit of oneness will take hold of the human race.

Another dream, the spiritual gift of India to the world has already begun. India's spirituality is entering Europe and

America in an ever increasing measure. That movement will grow; amid the disasters of the time more and more eyes

are turning towards her with hope and there is even an increasing resort not only to her teachings, but to her psychic

and spiritual practice.

The final dream was a step in evolution which would raise man to a higher and larger consciousness and begin the

solution of the problems which have perplexed and vexed him since he first began to think and to dream of individual

perfection and a perfect society. This is still a personal hope and an idea, an ideal which has begun to take hold both in

India and in the West on forward-looking minds. The difficulties in the way are more formidable than in any other

field of endeavour, but difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.

Here too, if this evolution is to take place, since it must proceed through a growth of the spirit and the inner

consciousness, the initiative can come from India and, although the scope must be universal, the central movement

may be hers.

Such is the content which I put into this date of India's liberation; whether or how far this hope will be justified

depends upon the new and free India.

2. A DREAM BY THE MOTHER

There should be somewhere on earth a place which no nation could claim as its own, where all human beings of

goodwill who have a sincere aspiration could live freely as citizens of the world and obey one single authority, that of

the supreme truth; a place of peace, concord and harmony where all the fighting instincts of man would be used

exclusively to conquer the causes of his sufferings and miseries, to surmount his weaknesses and ignorance, to

triumph over his limitations and incapacities; a place where the needs of the spirit and the concern for progress would

take precedence over the satisfaction of desires and passions, the search for pleasure and material enjoyment. In this

place, children would be able to grow and develop integrally without losing contact with their souls; education would

be given not for passing examinations or obtaining certificates and posts but to enrich existing faculties and bring forth

new ones. In this place, titles and positions would be replaced by opportunities to serve and organise; the bodily needs

of each one would be equally provided for, and intellectual, moral, and spiritual superiority would be expressed in the

general organisation not by an increase in the pleasures and powers of life but by increased duties and responsibilities.

Beauty in all its artistic forms, painting, sculpture, music, literature, would be equally accessible to all; the ability to

share in the joy it brings would be limited only by the capacities of each one and not by social or financial position.

For in this ideal place money would no longer be the sovereign lord; individual worth would have a far greater

importance than that of material wealth and social standing. There, work would not be a way to earn one's living but a

way to express oneself and to develop one's capacities and possibilities while being of service to the community as a

whole, which, for its own part, would provide for each individual's subsistence and sphere of action. In short, it would

be a place where human relationships, which are normally based almost exclusively on competition and strife, would

be replaced by relationships of emulation in doing well, of collaboration and real brotherhood.

The earth is certainly not ready to realise such an ideal, for mankind does not yet possess sufficient knowledge to

understand and adopt it nor the conscious force that is indispensable in order to execute it; that is why I call it a dream.

And yet this dream is in the course of becoming a reality; that is what we are striving for in Sri Aurobindo's Ashram,

on a very small scale, in proportion to our limited means. The realisation is certainly far from perfect, but it is

progressive; little by little we are advancing towards our goal which we hope we may one day be able to present to the

world as a practical and effective way to emerge from the present chaos, to be born into a new life that is more

harmonious and true.

3. AUROVILLE CHARTER

1) Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But to live in Auroville one

must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.

2) Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.

3) Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from

without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realisations.

4) Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual human unity.

4. TO BE A TRUE AUROVILIAN

Conditions to live in Auroville

1) The first necessity is the inner discovery in order to know what one truly is behind social, moral, cultural,

racial and hereditary appearances. At the centre there is a being free, vast and knowing, who awaits our discovery and

who ought to become the active centre of our being and our life in Auroville.

2) One lives in Auroville in order to be free from moral and social conventions; but this freedom must not be a

new slavery to the ego, to its desires and ambitions.

The fulfilment of one's desires bars the way to the inner discovery which can only be achieved in the peace and

transparency of perfect disinterestedness.

3) The Aurovilian should lose the sense of personal possession. For our passage in the material world, what is

indispensable to our life and to our action is put at our disposal according to the place we must occupy.

The more we are consciously in contact with our inner being, the more are the exact means given to us.

4) Work, even manual work, is something indispensable for the inner discovery. If one does not work, if one
