Auroville is an international community. After a few conversations with some Aurovillians, it seems that is a bit self steering, there is an inner council that finds its ways into the daily practical issues. The more spiritual connection to the deceased founders Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is strong, however silent on the premises. There are lectures and elaborations on the content of the writings that have emerged from the founders, and both Aurovillians and visitors are invited to attend.
I was wondering how the teachings were put into practice here in Auroville. It appears to be a mystery even for the residents of Auroville. It seems that the interpretation of the teachings is personal and everyone is invited to find his/her own way in the practical day to day life.
One needs to find a moment to dive within the depths of silence, as it is within the silence and listening of the silence that one feels what pulses underneath the visible life. It is interesting, as it is mysterious, it is a power, yet it beyond human senses. And it steers the wheel of life.
Combining my inner truth search and travel wisdom with the place, I see the creative force of the human layer. It is more apparent here than on other places that I visited, yet it is the same force. The difference is that here, there is a true and genuine listening to the stillness, and becoming balanced because of that. There is a whole universe in a stone, there is wisdom of a different nature there. That stillness is also in every human, however rare is the human that stops to listen to that cosmic wisdom.
It is believed by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, that when one starts to integrate the stillness, one is possibly touching cosmic wisdom and a new humanity will emerge. I sense that to be true too, although I am not inclined to lean onto any other wisdom than my own inner wisdom.

Auroville is a potentially great platform and great beginning of a new era. Blessed be the human that discovers his/her inner wisdom, its joy and its power. Working and living from that inner strength will bring about a maturity into humanity, that will dissolve disharmony and highly energize paradise on earth. This time coming from the inner source and from sovereign actions from each human, connected to the field of oneness.
