When duly completed
neither can claim the prize or proclaim ‘Victory’, for it is only
Vishnu Himself who is victorious.
The Titan’s labour in
Auroville signified that what might have taken centuries to
accomplish was done in the mere prescribed 36 years from 1971 to the
present, - a
remarkable acceleration never before experienced. They
pressed forward like blinkered steeds in Pluto’s Underworld to
complete the four enneads covering all four planes of Being, - the
Supramental/Spiritual, the Mental, the Vital, and finally the
Physical. Nothing luminous was allowed to be made a part of the
building, only the labour. But that in itself is praiseworthy; for
the Gods sin by their inability to hold firm. They are
necessary in the plot to goad the Titans to themselves hold firm
for the required period while Time gestates the brew of the new Age
of Vishnu, which Sri Aurobindo has so cogently described in this
Aphorism:
‘Family,
nationality, humanity are Vishnu's three strides from an isolated to
a collective unity. The first has been fulfilled, we yet strive for
the perfection of the second, towards the third we are reaching out
our hands and the pioneer work is already attempted.’
In this Aphorism we
have confirmed how step by each of Vishnu Trivikrama’s three magical
Strides we reach the goal of our times. These are described, as per
the Rig Veda: the Lion, the Bull, and lastly the Friend. It confirms
that Sri Aurobindo understood how the Strides are related to the
appearances of the last two Avatars of Vishnu, Rama and Krishna (the
zodiacal Lion – or the Family as in his epic, the Ramayana;
and the Bull – the Nation, as in the expanded Mahabharat).
And that with the final stride, in the Veda referred to as ‘the
Friend’, it is Sri Aurobindo himself who comes to fulfil the Divine
Order in the Aquarian period of Mitra, the Friend. Only the
Evolutionary Avatar of the Transcendent 9, by his own passing and
rebirth in Earth time in a connected line, can bring into being that
New Heaven for all of humanity.

POSTSCRIPT: The full
higher knowledge content of the Chamber as per the Mother’s Plan
with its precise measurements was known in the 1970s, when attempts
were made to convince the builders to revert to the original, and
writing The New Way was in progress. As indicated by the
quote at the top and attested to by its three volumes, the
understanding of the role of all the participants was known from the
beginning; as well as the sublime participation of Vishnu himself.
From those earliest days it was ‘seen’ that what was being played
out was the grandest of Vedic myths, the Churning of the Milky
Ocean. But what was not seen then, the most amazing part of the saga
by far, which has surfaced only now, is that both tasks would be
completed exactly within the pre-determined period of 36 years –
simultaneously. (12/7/2007)
