Machinery is necessary to modern humanity because of our in-
curable barbarism. If we must encase ourselves in a bewildering

multitude of comforts and trappings, we must needs do without
Art and its methods; for to dispense with simplicity and freedom
is to dispense with beauty. The luxury of our ancestors was rich

and even gorgeous, but never encumbered.
CWSA 12: 474 Sri Aurobindo
