PART THREE ELEMENTS OF YOGA Sincerity Sincerity is the key of the divine doors. Be sincere. Sincerity is the gate to Divinity. Sincerity means to lift all the movements of the being to the level of the highest consciousness and realisation already attained. Sincerity exacts the unification and harmonisation of the whole being in all its parts and movements around the central Divine Will.  21 February 1930 * To be sincere, all the parts of the being must be united in their aspiration for the Divine  ― not that one part wants and others refuse or revolt. To be sincere in the aspiration to want the Divine for the Divine's sake, not

Openness and Receptivity  OPENNESS Openness is the will to receive and to utilise for progress the force and influence; the constant aspiration to remain in touch with the Consciousness; the faith that the force and consciousness are always with you, around you, inside you and that you have only to let nothing stand in the way of your receiving them. Opening is a release of the consciousness by which it begins to admit into itself the workings of the Divine Light and Power. Open to the consciousness which is working on and in you and keep always as quiet and peaceful as you can. I pray that I may serve you consciously and sincerely, with

Aspiration             What is exactly meant by a sincere aspiration? An aspiration which is not mixed with any interested and egoistic calculation. 12January 1934 * It is to the sincerity of your aspiration that the Love answers spontaneously.  20 October 1934 * Let your aspiration leap forward, pure and straight, towards the supreme consciousness which is all joy and all beatitude. We must aspire with all our being for the manifestation to come soon and complete.                                                                                                                                                                      2 February 1935

Progress in Auroville September 1979 No.1 Matrimandir Office The office space in the group of temporary workshop and storeroom building near the Matrimandir has housed a variety of occupants and functions over the years. However, as none of its past is particularly interesting or has much connection with what is happening there now, perhaps it’s best to go on to the present. Beginning several months ago, workers at Matrimandir felt the need for a weekly meeting in order to co ordinate the work, discuss problems relative to the work as a whole, introduce new ideas, etc. Around the same t

November ’79 NO.3 Sri Aurobindo’s Action Center Auroville Association P.O. Box 1977 Boulder, CO 80306 “The opposition between spirituality and material life, the division between the two, has no sense for me, as in truth life and the spirit are one and it is in and by the physical work that the highest spirit must be manifest.” The Mother

Progress Feb No. 4 Since the previous issue on Greenwork a number of opinions have been expressed within Auroville concerning the inclusion of three communities: Pitchandikulam, Utilite and Auro-Orchard. These opinions were communicated both privately and in a Pour Tous general meeting and reflected different, often opposing point of view. It was finally agreed that the matter should be referred to the twelve member Cooperative. Here it was decided that these three communities should, for the present, be excluded from Progress and other publications and that an explanation of the position of these communities vis-a-vis the collective

“Progress is the very heart of the significance of human life, for it means our evolution into greater and richer being; and these ages by insisting on it, by forcing us to recognize it as our aim and our necessity, by making impossible hereafter the attempt to subsist in the dullness or the gross beatitude of a stationary self-content, have done a priceless service to the earth-life and cleared the ways of heaven.

Even if the insistence of our progress fall for a time too excl
