The Trustees derive their power from the divine and
secular centre that the Mother occupied when She was physically present.
Disciples and followers unquestioningly accepted Her authority and had full
faith in Her divine knowledge both in spiritual and worldly matters. That
physical space having fallen vacant in November 1973, the first Trustees and
heads of departments chosen by the Mother continued to hold sway over the
community for a couple of decades by acting with sufficient maturity and tact.
As they quietly exited the mortal scene and were replaced by those who were not
directly chosen by the Mother, the moral credibility of the next batch of
Trustees and heads of departments rapidly diminished and, within a decade or
two, all that remained was their legal authority.
In this respect, devotees from outside, who have
settled in the Ashram from a long time, and the so-called home grown “children
of the Mother” are both responsible for this administrative deterioration. As a
matter of fact, if anybody has betrayed Sri Aurobindo and the Mother in the
present crisis, it is the generation that grew up under the Mother’s personal
care – there are of course a few exceptions who unfortunately have not been
able to assert themselves effectively. [Cf.
