This Day That Age
The Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry on April 25 reiterated that the Ashram did not take part in politics. The Mother, head of the Ashram, in a declaration said: "Sri Aurobindo withdrew from politics: and in his Ashram a most important rule is that one must abstain from all politics — not because Sri Aurobindo did not concern himself with the happenings of the world, but because politics, as it is practised, is a low and ugly thing wholly dominated by falsehood, deceit, and misuse of power and violence; because to succeed in politics one has to cultivate in oneself hypocrisy, duplicity and unscrupulous ambition." The Mother was replying to a request that the Ashram clarify its stand in regard to the present political upheaval in Pondicherry, particularly in view of certain charges that the Ashram was indulging in anti-Indian and pro-French activities.
