Auromodele is an attempt and an
\nexperiment. As it develops the organisation will be modified according to the
\nneed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Every organisation should remain supple
\nand flexible so as to progress constantly and modify itself when the need
\narises. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

May I write in answer to X’s letter that any copy for
\na brochure or pamphlet written either in America or at the Ashram regarding the
\nAmerican Pavilion [to be built in Auroville] must first be approved by you? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Nothing on any Auroville project can be
\npublished without my approval. <\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Mother, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Our vegetable crop has been attacked by insects. While
\nwe are studying non-poisonous means of control, and until we have enough
\ninformation to handle this problem, we thought of carefully using some
\ninsecticides. May we have permission to do this and your protection in handling
\nthem? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>A <\/span><\/span>mild and harmless protector is often more
\neffective than a poisonous one. <\/span><\/p>\n

It seems to me that the very <\/span><\/i>land<\/span><\/i> of <\/span><\/i>Auroville<\/span><\/i> aspires. Is it
\ntrue, Sweet Mother? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Yes, the land itself has a consciousness,

Do you want me to personally interview the people who

Yes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Divine Mother, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Last Sunday several of the Ashram younger children
\nunexpectedly went out on the Auroville lorry and spent the whole morning in
\nAuroville. There were several adults along, including X, Y, Z and myself, to
\nlook after them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Should we encourage the children to go out to Auroville on Sundays if we
\nproperly supervise them, or not? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

1. Do we need a Personnel Department in Auroville? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Should it be a part of the Liaison Office? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do not multiply departments, titles and

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It seems that there is more opposition to the Divine’s work at Peace
\nthan other places in Auroville. Is this true? Is there an occult reason for
\nthis? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What is the

\nserve the community or to be a true servitor of the Divine Consciousness? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of life in Auromod`ele is to
\nlearn to live in Auroville, to make all the experiments necessary for learning
\nto live in Auroville. <\/span><\/p>\n

We want to find a way for the community to

Divine Mother, <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

About Mahalakshmi, Sri Aurobindo has said: \u201cIf she finds
\nherself in men’s hearts surrounded with selfishness and hatred and jealousy and
\nmalignance and envy and strife, if treachery and greed and ingratitude are
\nmixed in the sacred chalice, if grossness of passion and unrefined desire
\ndegrade devotion, in such hearts the gracious and beautiful Goddess will not
\nlinger. A divine disgust seizes upon her and she withdraws, for she is not one
\nwho insists or strives….\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In fear that you may do this, and with sorrow that we
\nhave caused you pain, we, at Aspiration, ask your forgiveness. Many of us, many
\ntimes, have promised to change; many of us again do so promise now. We pray for
\nthe grace. With our love.<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nfor progress and transformation.<\/span>\u00b9<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
