  The. Vital desire.

  Soul animates the external being when it enters the physical
• 0:08
  frame. We say that there is life in the
• 0:11
  body. When it departs, we say.
• 0:15
  That the person has died. This is distinguishable.
• 0:19
  From the true soul. The psychic being.
• 0:22
  Which is not dependent on either.
• 0:24
  The life or death of a particular.
• 0:27
  Body. Which transcends and survives
• 0:30
  the life of the body. And which takes on new.
• 0:33
  Forms. As.

  Needed to carry out its role in the.
• 0:37
  Universal. Manifestation for.

  Those. Who have experienced an out of
• 0:43
  body experience, there is the sense of the vital being
• 0:47
  separating. From the.
• 0:48
  Physical body in some. Cases.

  The Vital. Being to the physical.

  Of the body occurs. The true soul, meanwhile, does
• 1:15
  not act to animate or remove life from the body.

  The mother writes Quote The vital soul is what animates the
• 1:36
  body. The life which animates the
• 1:39
  body. You see an ordinary language, it
• 1:42
  is said. You die when your soul leaves
• 1:44
  your body, or your soul leaves your body when you die.
• 1:49
  In. One way or the other.
• 1:52
  But it is not the soul. It is not only this soul what we
• 1:56
  call soul, I mean the psychic. Being.
• 1:59
  It is the Vital Being. When the vital Being leaves the
• 2:02
  body, for whatever reason, the body dies.
• 2:06
  Or. Death cuts off the vital being
• 2:09
  from the body. So it is in the sense of.
• 2:12
  Animating that is giving life. The disciple asks, is this the
• 2:19
  vital desire soul, sweet mother? The mother.
• 2:24
  Responds yes, the vital soul is full of desires.
• 2:29
  The vital being. Is full of desires.
• 2:32
  It is built of desires. End Quote Reference Sriorobindo
