<strong>Auroville</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Practices</strong> – August 2011


Sustainable Development<br />

but……<br />

what do we want to “sustain”?<br />

Toine<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Practices</strong> – August 2011


“Thus has come about the<br />

present status of the evolution<br />

of which man is the now<br />

apparent culmination but not<br />

the real ultimate summit; for he<br />

is himself a transitional being<br />

and stands at the turning-point<br />

of the whole movement.”<br />

Sri Aurobindo<br />

“At present mankind is undergoing<br />

an evolutionary crisis in which is<br />

concealed a choice of its destiny;<br />

for a stage has been reached in<br />

which the human mind has<br />

achieved in certain directions an<br />

enormous development while in<br />

others it stands arrested and<br />

bewildered and can no longer find<br />

its way.<br />

Sri Aurobindo<br />

“In our present life of Nature,<br />

in our externalised surface<br />

existence, it is the world that<br />

seems to create us; but in<br />

the turn to the spiritual life it<br />

is we who must create<br />

ourselves and our world.<br />

In this new formula of<br />

creation, the inner life<br />

becomes of the first<br />

importance and the rest can<br />

be only its expression and<br />

outcome.”<br />

Sri Aurobindo<br />

“Humanity is not the last rung of<br />

the terrestrial creation.<br />

Evolution continues and man<br />

will be surpassed.<br />

It is for each individual to know<br />

whether he wants to participate<br />

in the advent of this new<br />

species.<br />

For those who are satisfied with<br />

the world as it is, <strong>Auroville</strong><br />

obviously has no reason to<br />

exist.”<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong>'s Charter<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> belongs to nobody in particular. <strong>Auroville</strong> belongs to humanity<br />

as a whole. But to live in <strong>Auroville</strong> one must be the willing servitor of the<br />

Divine Consciousness.<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> will be the place of an unending education, of constant<br />

progress, and a youth that never ages.<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> wants to be the bridge between the past and the future.<br />

Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within,<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> will boldly spring towards future realisations.<br />

<strong>Auroville</strong> will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living<br />

embodiment of an actual Human Unity.<br />

“You say that <strong>Auroville</strong> is a<br />

dream.<br />

Yes, it is a “dream” of the Lord<br />

and generally these “dreams”<br />

turn out to be true—much<br />

more true than the human socalled<br />

realities!<br />
