(Shyam Sunder on a meeting with Mother, 1 January 1973:) “Nowadays many requests are coming for joining Auroville. But most of them are not acceptable to us. Is each case to be referred to Mother?
         Mother said, “No.”
         “We will refer cases where we have doubt or where we accept.”
         “Yes.”
         “And before accepting, I am now giving them a chance of two to three weeks to see Auroville and choose their work and settle their financial position, otherwise they say something but forget it when Mother's approval comes.”
         “Have I not said that the first condition to live in Auroville is not to tell a lie?”
         “Yes, and Mother has on several occasions recently written on truth and explained about it.”
         “Show it to them.”
         “Yes, Mother, but they call me a policeman when I do so.”
         “You can tell them,” Mother said laughing, “that you are Mother's policeman.”
         After a pause, Mother said,
         “There is no need to build another ordinary city in Auroville; already there are so many. If people are like that, it will become an ordinary city and our money and efforts will be wasted. You have to be strict.” ”[1]
