Preface

There is the Truth of which the world's truths are shreds,

The Light of which the world's ignorance is the shade

Till Truth draws back the shade that it has cast,

The Love our hearts call down to heal all strife,

The Bliss for which the world's derelict sorrows yearn:

Thence comes the glory sometimes seen on earth,

The visits of Godhead to the human soul,

The Beauty and the dream on Nature's face.

(Savitri)

Here are the beautiful words of the Mother

To my very dear little child

Huta,

Welcome to all those who

aspire to do the Lord's work

With all my love

This book was first published as a booklet in 1974 under the name: Matrimandir - The Mother's Truth and Love.

It was done in great haste. Many things were left out, overlooked, unrevised. Since I have been requested by many people to reprint it, I have taken the opportunity to recast, revise and give a full picture of the matter.

The Mother's conversations with me about the Matrimandir and Auroville, seen and corrected by her, were very similar to those she had with a few other people. This similarity emphasises all the more the heart of her message. Moreover, her letters and her messages highlight the whole matter.

What I wish to present here is based purely on the spiritual and occult truths expressed and revealed by the Mother. It has nothing to do with outer circumstances, human perceptions and situations. The Mother's sayings hold good for all time. They stand ever true, ever new. The Mother was and is countless years ahead of our time.

Illuminating messages given by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo apply not only to Aurovilians but also Ashramites and the people of the world.

The Mother's Truth is One, but she expressed it in various ways. She might have told people concerned the same thing with a shade of difference. But this does not mean that the Mother has changed her Vision and Will. It is the Mother's Vision and Will which all of us should understand and tiy sincerely to carry out in Her Truth and Love.

This encouraging letter of the Mother will certainly help us:

Yes, my dearest little child

We are here to bring upon earth the victory of

Truth and Love - and it will be done.

My profound gratitude and love to the Supreme Lord and the Supreme Mother.

Huta

You can be absolutely sure that the Lord is always doing the very best for the Truth.

Auroville wants to be the first realisation of human unity based on the teaching of Sri Aurobindo. Where men of all countries would be at home.
