So You’re Headin’ Out?

80’s little horror war,
what threw away?
The administration of Auroville.
It was surrendered to the government without even a care,
and we lost our autonomy that way,
at the toss of a dice,
and the government rolled in.

Are you countin’ India
to allow human unity to take over?
What was the village thinkin’
in removin’ The Sri Aurobindo Society from the scene?
Can we grasp Sri Aurobindo?
The Society doesn’t,
and it will block you to this day
if you disagree with them.
What was the Mother thinkin’
givin’ the township to this obviously irreverent crowd
to love and compassion on earth
and human unity.

Stupid me, stupid you,
we excuse her for it,
but this is the mistake that baked the day
and ruined Auroville.
Can anybody look at this?
If ever a mistake was made here was one,
and now we’re supposed to take her every word as gospel,
as if she made no mistakes?

Where has she been all these years
watchin’ it fall apart?
Is she comin’?
Yoga
relies on inner seeing,
if it’s got the content of its worth.
I’m not talking about intuition,
your intuition says this,
your intuition says that,
in a gut feeling,
no matter how you describe it
as the opening of the day.

Inner seeing’s a gut worth’s no.
It’s concrete formulas laid out in time,
spoken word, revealing vision,
or the dream maker
putting together the house for you
so you can see it.
That tells you where it’s at.
When I entered the yoga
I picked up the Mother right away
in dream and vision,
her signal loud and clear.
That was in Auroville the first time.

She was not proclaimin’ to me her gospel,
her avatarhood.
She was puttin’ sadhana together for me
it’s a sunny day.
What made it so difficult,
I just knew hell had entered my birth
and would not let me go.
What difference
she made when she came on board.
You couldn’t tell it from the outside
for so long I’m ashamed to say.
Look at that to Auroville.
Can you gauge her time?

I’ll tell yah the Indian government can’t.
Nor can it see spiritual vision
or uses it to make decisions,
spiritual vision as in seership,
not a quote you pull out to prove your point.
We are left with the Indian government in charge of Auroville,
refueling the Mother’s words with their agenda,
purposefully pulling her out of the picture
by putting her in it
the mouthpiece they wore.

You can see it happening.
You just think the Mother’s responsible for it,
but she did not ordain this,
nor the government taking over
when the Auroville Act was signed.
How do I know this?
I’m an inner seer,
and we always live on the outcasts of time.
Way out there,
we question everything
is this the divine?

I sit on your bench, okay?
I’m a hologram holocaust survivor,
and I can say my own name.
I love the Mother because she saved my life
and protected me all these years.
I know the strength of her word,
her teachings.
They have held my hand for so long,
but what she taught me you can’t find in a book,
not even hers.
Deities make mistakes,
and avatars ruin,
and in order to change ourselves we must see that
to understand what we’re up against.

The whole paradox of creation comes down upon our head
when the actual change comes about,
to keep it from coming about,
and you can hightail it and run back to Houston,
or you can bear the impossible.
A stallion of waves stampede,
and you’re just everybody,
and no wave can block your tide.
My deep thought Auroville,
can yah folla me here?

Tell me about it.
