          Once having made the passage, the 9 becoming the 10, the realisation can be expressed geometrically by the symbols Sri Aurobindo reserved for the Truth-Consciousness. The symbol of the Sun conveys the position perfectly, for it expresses two key elements of the new consciousness: sphericality and simultaneity.
          Vedic civilisation was based on these principles. The Laws of Correspondence and Equivalence can only function in a world where this passage – the 9 to the 10 – stands as its foundation. For in that passage, which takes us into the sanctum sanctorum of the Mother’s temple, the aspirant indeed passes beyond the reach of forces hostile to that realisation. Oneness then becomes the operating principle; as such, all the elements participating in this spherical wholeness become facilitators of the divine Purpose lodged in that centre. It is then that we can affirm: All, positive and negative, serve the purposes of the One.
          Further, all springs from within, all is determined by that centremost source. This is the true path of non-violence which simply means that nothing is imposed from outside, or enforced from outside. The system so aligned would reject that imposition precisely because it is not in harmony with the higher laws of the emerging cosmos. Only that which resonates intrinsically to those laws can find a place within the system.
          Thus is the new creation established on a planet that continues to be under the rule of the Lords of Falsehood; and for this reason the Mother’s chamber was a prize possession because had it been constructed with the precision she expected, this realisation of centering and alignment would have extended to the entire community that is in some way connected to that Vision; and as the boundaries were further extended, the whole of India and finally the entire planet would have become integrated into this new cosmos where each element is assured of its rightful place within the whole. Nothing is rejected because oneness is the keyword, and negative and positive serve that One.
          The heart of the matter is a realisation that can hold, that can permit this ordering process, particularly in the early stages when hostile forces and usurpers refuse to loosen their grip and seek to annihilate the Child before a threshold of maturity has been crossed and the development has reached a point when masks can be drawn aside. Then, by this very unveiling, deceptions are exposed.
          The Mother’s Vision was the most coveted item from the first day she revealed its contents; lamentably, not by affirmation but by negation. As we are able to witness, even today those forces instinctively hostile to the Vision refuse to acknowledge her superior accomplishment, while still deceiving the public by insisting that what has been built in Auroville is ‘the Mother’s original’. On such foundations of falsehood, whatever arises can only collapse one day by the weight of its own contradictions.
