It is evening and the night is calm. I wait in stillness till the sun returns Silently chanting a prayer, perhaps a psalm To One who lit in me the blaze that burns.
We in Auroville desire peace That all in harmony may grow divine Abolish ego and all rancour cease Knowing Truth and Love the inner sign
Set before us as the highest goal Of humankind aspiring to ascend. But now as anger flares we hear the toll Of a mighty bell signaling the end
Of this evolutionary trial As our heads are buried in inconscient sand Of judgements in the ignorance awhile Acceding oft to an ego-filled demand
To lead us erringly into the blind Decisions that our blatant errors take When foisted on us by the paltry mind When will Auroville to harmony awake?
