(A message from Mother to some Aurovilians)

From a spiritual point of view, India is the

 foremost country in the world. Its mission is to

give the example of spirituality. Sri Aurobindo

came on earth to teach this to the world.

This fact is so obvious, that even a simple,

ignorant farmer here is in his heart closer to the

 Divine than all the intellectuals of Europe.

All those who want to become Aurovilians must

 know that and behave accordingly, otherwise they

 are unworthy of being Aurovilians.

(Another note)

In the beginnings of humanity, the ego was the unifying element. It is around the ego that the various states of being were formed. But now that a superhumanity is about to be born, the ego must disappear and leave place for the psychic being which has slowly developed through divine agency to manifest the Divine in man.

The Divine manifests in man under the psychic influence, and that is how the coming of superhumanity is prepared.

The psychic being is immortal, so through it immortality can manifest on earth. Hence, the important thing now is to find one's psychic being, unite with it, and allow it to replace the ego, which will be forced either to convert itself or disappear.
