If anyone has to be blamed for the
possibility of a government intervention, it is the Trustees themselves. First,
they behave with an absolute authority wherein no one has any right to question
their decisions. Then they go about systematically diluting the work of Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother by turning the Ashram into a free-for-all place where
anybody who can please them can take all the benefits. By doing this and by
constantly finding legal and police solutions, they have acted worse than
government officials and attracted such forces into the temple of the Lord. Then
they allow tampering with Sri Aurobindo’s writings. And as if this was not bad
enough, they allow not only the publication of the diabolic biography but also
publish a ‘research article’ in the Archives drawing comparison between Sri
Aurobindo, the mystic and schizophrenia patient. The only job they had was to
take care of the Ashram assets as trustees but they seem to be acting like
owners. It is sad to see ‘high placed people and rich businessman as well as
their sycophants’ break the queue and be led through the back door for Darshan.
This is exactly how government officials may do. Are they any better? The only
difference is that while one can question a government official, since there
are people above him and he is bound by the law, one cannot question the
Trustees since they believe they are above the law and beyond any questioning
and an absolute authority. Even now they can resolve this issue by inviting
concerned parties and have a dialogue as to the needed changes for the smooth
functioning of the Ashram. But instead of finding ways of harmony they
preferred to divide the community and continue to do so just out of their own
ambition and to satisfy their Ego. Will their EGO allow a harmonious resolution?
That is the question and the problem and the answer also.
