| The supermind shall be his nature’s fount, The Eternal’s truth shall mould his thoughts and acts, The Eternal’s truth shall be his light and guide. All then shall change, a magic order come Overtopping this mechanical universe. A mightier race shall inhabit the mortal’s world. On Nature’s luminous tops, on the Spirit’s ground, The superman shall reign as king of life, Make earth almost the mate and peer of heaven, And lead towards God and truth man’s ignorant heart And lift towards godhead his mortality. A power released from circumscribing bounds, Its height pushed up beyond death’s hungry reach, Life’s tops shall ?ame with the Immortal’s thoughts, Light shall invade the darkness of its base. Then in the process of evolving Time All shall be drawn into a single plan, A divine harmony shall be earth’s law, Beauty and joy remould her way to live: Even the body shall remember God, Nature shall draw back from mortality And Spirit’s ?res shall guide the earth’s blind force; Knowledge shall bring into the aspirant Thought A high proximity to Truth and God. The supermind shall claim the world for Light And thrill with love of God the enamoured heart And place Light’s crown on Nature’s lifted head And found Light’s reign on her unshaking base. A greater truth than earth’s shall roof-in earth And shed its sunlight on the roads of mind; A power infallible shall lead the thought, A seeing Puissance govern life and act, In earthly hearts kindle the Immortal’s ?re. A soul shall wake in the Inconscient’s house; The mind shall be God-vision’s tabernacle, The body intuition’s instrument, And life a channel for God’s visible power. All earth shall be the Spirit’s manifest home, Hidden no more by the body and the life, Hidden no more by the mind’s ignorance; An unerring Hand shall shape event and act. The Spirit’s eyes shall look through Nature’s eyes, The Spirit’s force shall occupy Nature’s force. This world shall be God’s visible garden-house, The earth shall be a ?eld and camp of God, Man shall forget consent to mortality And his embodied frail impermanence. This universe shall unseal its occult sense, Creation’s process change its antique front, An ignorant evolution’s hierarchy Release the Wisdom chained below its base. The Spirit shall be the master of his world Lurking no more in form’s obscurity And Nature shall reverse her action’s rule, The outward world disclose the Truth it veils; All things shall manifest the covert God, All shall reveal the Spirit’s light and might And move to its destiny of felicity.

Auroville – the Cradle of the SupermanToday – 28.02.18 – marks Auroville’s 50th Birthday. Words of the Mother: Greetings from Auroville to all men of good will. ******************** Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity. ******************** You say that Auroville is a dream. Yes, it is a “dream” of the Lord and generally these “dreams” turn out to be true — much more true than the human so-called realities! ******************** Auroville should be at the service of Truth, beyond all social, political and religious convictions. Auroville is the effort towards peace, in sincerity and Truth. ******************** Auroville is an attempt towards world peace, friendship, fraternity, unity. ******************** Auroville is the shelter built for all those who want to hasten towards a future of Knowledge, Peace and Unity. ******************** Let Light, peace and joy be with all those who live in Auroville and work for its realisation. ******************** Earth needs a place where men can live away from all national rivalries, social conventions, self-contradictory moralities and contending religions; a place where human beings, freed from all slavery to the past, can devote themselves wholly to the discovery and practice of the Divine Consciousness that is seeking to manifest. ******************** We would like to make Auroville the cradle of the Superman. ******************** Auroville The Mother Words of the Mother I |
