Aspiration & Inspirations

HE Answers OUR ARDENT CALL! from INSPIRATIONS by Transformation_S_8

July 4, 1914 -- O SOVEREIGN Force, O victorious Power, Purity, Beauty, supreme Love, grant that this being in its integrality, this body in all its totality may draw near to Thee solemnly and offer to Thee in a complete and humble surrender this means of manifestation abandoned perfectly to Thy Will, if not perfectly ready for this realisation.... With the calm and strong certitude that Thou wilt one day accomplish the expected miracle and manifest in its fullness Thy sublime splendour, we turn to Thee in a profound rapture, and silently implore Thee.... Immensity, Infinitude, Wonder....Thou alone art and Thou shinest resplendent in all things. the hour of Thy fulfilment is near. All Nature is ingathered in a solemn concentration. Thou answerest her ardent call. --- The Mother [CW.Vol.I]

The largest increase, as in the previous years, has been in the Indian population: 42. The Indians now account for 42% of Auroville's population, similar as last year.
