Dear friends,
You will find on these pages the text of a
document concerning the conditions and the modalities for
joining Auroville. We would request that you study these pages
attentively. We are aware of the limitations inherent in trying
to describe with words what is in fact a living process, unique
to each person. Our aspiration is to express as clearly as
possible what the community normally expects from people seeking
to join, without lessening the vibrancy of the welcoming tone
set by the Mother. Our actual experience is that integration
usually happens smoothly.
To join Auroville is a gradual process of
learning, of confirming one's choice, through time and
experience. Please accept Auroville's present state of
development: it is far from perfect. Come and get familiar with
its actual ways of being, consciously participating and evolving
with it.
Above all, what matters most is the
spirit. And we believe that the true spirit of Auroville is best
expressed through a number of statements, comments or
conversations by the
Mother, who has her unique way of expressing the inner
dimensions of Auroville. We believe that when the spirit is
kept, whatever challenges may arise during the period of entry
will be harmoniously and positively met.
Welcome to Auroville -
Spring 2001 |
