<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 />
Toine<br />
<strong>Auroville</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Practices</strong> – August 2011
“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 />
