Sacredness in Auroville

12.8.2023

How to gauge the spiritual loss
Incurred in Auroville day by day
Can one understand the descent of force
That is descending on us as a mystery play?

Can we ignore the light that has come to stay.
Can we not realise that we are one
Of the same substance made, evolved from clay
Our work unfinished, hardly yet begun.

Will the township be erected when we fight
Unconsciously to hold our privileged ground,
Can we not look towards the glowing light
Above, penetrating the dark surround?

Perhaps those few in harmony will abide
Destructive acts, on sacredness decide?
