 <\/span><\/p>\n

To find the necessary funds for Auroville<\/span> one
\ncould proceed in the following manner: Find in every country a very wealthy
\nperson who would be the centre for collecting funds for Auroville<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Advantages: Such a person would carry weight, would be
\nan example for the others and would never give the impression of begging. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In principle this way is all right. But in
\npractice, and to avoid all possibility of failure (because failure would have a
\ndeplorable effect), we must wait for an indication from circumstances of which
\nI will be immediately informed. And then I will give the signal to go ahead. <\/span><\/p>\n

November 1965 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

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

Will X play a part in helping to organise the American
\nPavilion, and if so may she start fundraising in <\/span><\/i>America<\/span><\/i> immediately for this? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

I never gave her this work officially. <\/span><\/p>\n

But if she brings money so much the
\nbetter. <\/span><\/p>\n

22 March 1966<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

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

Do you wish us to try and raise large amounts of money
\nfor both the Ashram and the Auroville<\/span> Project, in <\/span><\/i>America<\/span><\/i>?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If it is at all possible for you it would
\nbe extremely helpful and in conformity with the Truth of things. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

They may not practise themselves, but if they
\ndo not know about yoga, how can they understand the purpose of Auroville<\/span>?  <\/span><\/p>\n

19 June 1967<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(A donor to Auroville<\/span> specified:)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I want my money to be used exclusively for conquering
\nthe causes of our sufferings and miseries. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is for this that we all work here, but
\nnot in the artificial manner of philanthropists who work on the exterior
\neffects only. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

We want to eliminate for good the cause of
\nsuffering by divinising matter through the integral transformation.  <\/span><\/p>\n

28 December 1967<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, is there something specific being done which
\nis impeding the flow of money to Auroville<\/span>?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the lack of push towards the future
\nthat impedes the flow of money. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, is there something specific which should be done to increase
\nthe flow of money to Auroville<\/span>? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

A confident certitude in the inevitable
\nfuture can break this resistance. <\/span><\/p>\n

17 May 1968 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

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

Given the present state of Auroville’s<\/span>
\nfinances,<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\nPage \u2013 254<\/span><\/p>\n

should we approach either of the following people for donations: [names
\ngiven].<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n <\/span><\/p>\n

It is not this kind of people who can give
\nto Auroville<\/span> what it needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

17 May 1968 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

Firstly, what is the role of the <\/span><\/i>United States<\/span><\/i> with regard to the building of the new world? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The work of <\/span>U.S.A.<\/span> is to provide the financial help needed
\nto prepare the earth for the new creation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, what must the people of the <\/span><\/i>United States<\/span><\/i> do in order to begin to be able to fulfil this role? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Become aware of those, individual or
\norganisation, capable of bringing about this transformation and give them the
\nnecessary money. <\/span><\/p>\n

9 June 1968<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

Has the time come to attempt approaching the big finance around the
\nworld?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If so, then we have to create a compact and cohesive
\nmanagement structure, which will be able to handle such finance and be
\nanswerable for its proper utilisation. Only after this is done can we approach
\ninternational organisations and expect favourable response. Has this Thy
\napproval? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

(Someone trying to raise funds for Auroville<\/span>
\nrequested detailed information about plans for development. When his letter was
\nshown to Mother, she wrote:)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

All these questions prove that you expect Auroville<\/span> to be a continuation of all that has been done up
\nto now. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Auroville<\/span><\/span> wants to be a new creation expressing a
\nnew consciousness in a new way and according to new methods.  <\/span><\/p>\n

18 August 1969<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To raise funds for Auromodele<\/span>, what shall we
\ndo? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The more you chase funds the less you get.
\nWhat you should do is to inform people about Auroville<\/span>.
\nThat is important. <\/span><\/p>\n
