  In the Life. Divine SRI aurobindo devotes a
• 0:04
  chapter to the Sevenfold ignorance.
• 0:08
  While we are fixated on our external mind, life and body and
• 0:12
  the life we lead in the external world.
• 0:15
  We remain ignorant of the forces at work behind the scenes, to
• 0:20
  create what we call, our being and personality and to bring
• 0:25
  about the circumstances that we require in the external life to
• 0:30
  realize the purpose of our existence. even if we fail to
• 0:34
  recognize or acknowledge that purpose, overtly Our surface
• 0:39
  personality is like the tip of the iceberg with the scope and
• 0:43
  mass of that Iceberg hidden from our view.
• 0:45
  Sometimes through dream, we get a glimpse of the Greater Life we
• 0:51
  lead in some cases, we meet people and others we receive
• 0:56
  teachings and explore Avenues of existence concealed from our
• 1:00
  outer person. When instances occur that break
• 1:04
  us free even momentarily from the fixation.
• 1:08
  Action on the outer life, we can experience something of the
• 1:12
  greater truth of our existence and we can recognize that what
• 1:17
  we think do and feel in our outer being is caused by forces
• 1:23
  and circumstances at work on other planes or in other
• 1:27
  dimensions. There are linkages between the
• 1:31
  inner life, the other planes and dimensions of existence and our
• 1:36
  outer life. The modality of the chakras act
• 1:40
  as a mechanism for the energy of physical, vital, and mental
• 1:44
  worlds, and forces to directly act upon an impact, our external
• 1:50
  lives. To the extent that various
• 1:53
  chakras open. They bring energy for
• 1:56
  realization and action into our lives.
• 2:01
  Even a small amount of energy coming through one or another
• 2:04
  chakra. Can have a dramatic impact on
• 2:07
  our lives. Dr. Dalal observes.
• 2:12
  Quote regarding the influence of the inner planes of
• 2:16
  Consciousness on the outer life of the individual SRI aurobindo
• 2:20
  States quote. It is a mistake to think that we
• 2:24
  live physically, only with the outer mind, and life.
• 2:28
  We are all the time living and acting on other planes of
• 2:32
  Consciousness meeting others there and acting upon them, and
• 2:37
  what we do and feel and think they're the forces, We Gather
• 2:41
  the results. Prepare, have an incalculable
• 2:45
  importance and effect unknown to us Upon Our outer life, not all
• 2:51
  of it comes through and what comes through takes another form
• 2:56
  in the physical though, sometimes there is an exact
• 3:00
  correspondence. But this little is at the basis
• 3:04
  of our outward. Existence all that we become in
• 3:07
  do and bear in the physical life is prepared behind the veil
• 3:12
  within us. If the inner being is according
• 3:18
  to our psychology connected, with the small outer
• 3:21
  personality, by certain centers of consciousness, of which we
• 3:25
  become aware by yoga. Only a little of the inner being
• 3:28
  escapes through these centers into the outer life.
• 3:32
  But that little is the best part of ourselves and responsible for
• 3:37
  our art, poetry philosophy ideals religious aspirations
• 3:43
  efforts at knowledge. And Perfection and quote dr.
• 3:48
  Dalal continues quote to sum up the inner growth of the
• 3:53
  individual. Like the evolution of the
• 3:56
  universe is the process by which the Supreme Consciousness, the
• 4:01
  truth of existence or the reality of being immersed in the
• 4:05
  incontinence of matter, through a prior process of involution
• 4:09
  manifest itself. In progressively, higher States
• 4:14
  of It's being due to the evolutionary thrust inherent in
• 4:18
  it and quote reference SRI aurobindo in the mother growing
• 4:24
  within the psychology of inner development and production
