Pistil

PI p4		   
You know the ancient Indo-Mogul miniatures, with palaces where there are terraces with small roofs supported by columns? You know those old miniatures? Hundreds of them have come into my hands�
  
But this pavilion is very, very beautiful, a small pavilion like this, with a roof on a terrace, and low walls with couches against them to sit on, to meditate in the open air in the evening, at night.
And below, downstairs, at ground level, a meditation room, simply - something quite bare.
There would probably be at the far end something, which would be a living light, perhaps the symbol in living light, a constant light.
Otherwise, a very peaceful, very silent place.
Nearby, there would be a small dwelling, a small dwelling which would nevertheless have three floors, but not large-sized, and that would be the house of Huta, who would serve as a guardian. She would be the guardian of the pavilion. She wrote me a very nice letter but she did not understand all that, of course.
That is the centre.
All around, there is a circular road, which separates the park from the rest of the town.
There would probably be a gateway - in fact there must be one - in the park. A gateway with the guardian of the gate. The guardian of the gate is a new girl who has come from Africa, who wrote me a letter telling me that she wanted to be the guardian of Auroville in order to let only the 'servants of Truth' enter (laughing). It is a very nice plan. So I shall probably put her there as guardian of the park, with a small house on the road at the entrance.
But the interesting thing is that around this central point, there are four big sections, like four big petals (Mother draws), but the corners of the petals are rounded and there are small intermediate zones - four big sections and four zones� Naturally, that is only in the air; on the ground, it will be an approximation�"
