Interestingly, my creation was with Sri Aurobindo in the center, then when Sri Aurobindo left, I let it all rest, I didn&#8217;t budge anymore. Then it suddenly started coming again, as if to say, &#8220;Now is the time, it must be done.&#8221; Very well. The Muslims would say, &#8220;It&#8217;s fated.&#8221; It&#8217;s fated, it&#8217;s sure to exist. I don&#8217;t know how much time it will take, but it seems to be going fast.<br \/>\n<P>The city already exists.<br \/>\n<P>And the remarkable thing is that I simply told R. [the architect]<P align=\"center\"><br \/>\n<font size=\"2\">Page 91<\/font><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><P>&nbsp;the broad outlines, asking him if he was interested. Then he went back<br \/>\nto France and he received my formation (my old formation, which I myself had<br \/>\nleft asleep); he received it there. I found that very interesting. He received<br \/>\nit, he said to me, &quot;It came all at once, I seemed to be possessed by something,<br \/>\nand in one night the whole thing was done.&quot; And the interesting point is that an<br \/>\narchitect friend of his came and worked with him and participated in the<br \/>\ncreation; he is now quite enthusiastic, and he is a man who has very extensive<br \/>\ncontacts with all Communist Europe, including Russia. And he is thrilled to<br \/>\npieces. So, on that side, it&#8217;s working well. And in America, too, it seems to be<br \/>\nworking.<br \/>\n<P>And that&#8217;s precisely what I want &#8211; that these two countries clashing with each other should come here, and each of them have a pavilion of their culture and ideal, and that they should be here, face to face, and shake hands.<br \/>\n<P align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 92<\/font><\/p>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\" style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 23, 1966 Mother hands Satprem a brochure on Auroville The photos are very pretty.
