Every Yogic Practitioner Must Develop Along His Own Path and Face His Own Difficulties · Sri Aurobindo Studies

  We like to have certainty safety and a fixed map.
• 0:06
  That provides us directions steps Milestone markers and,
• 0:12
  which will lead us to the goal of our seeking Spiritual
• 0:16
  Development. However, is not quite the same
• 0:18
  as an automobile or train trip from one city to another.
• 0:23
  The complex Nexus that is created for each individual
• 0:27
  implies that everyone starts from a somewhat different.
• 0:30
  Psychological place with different opportunities.
• 0:35
  Different limitations and difficulties, different
• 0:38
  developed capacities, and indeed different solutions to attain to
• 0:44
  somewhat varying results. With this amount of complexity
• 0:49
  and variance it is not feasible to set up one rule, that
• 0:53
  addresses the circumstances of all individuals and thus a fixed
• 0:59
  and detailed step-by-step approach to yoga and Spiritual
• 1:03
  Development, is not actually possible, even in the more
• 1:08
  precise. Physical awesome has advanced in
• 1:11
  how to yoga. Not, everyone can simply follow
• 1:14
  a fixed routine and achieve the same result.
• 1:19
  When we look at the psychological aspects of
• 1:22
  Spiritual Development, it becomes even less possible to
• 1:26
  dictate one specific series of actions to achieve one specific
• 1:32
  plan result. SRI aurobindo and the mother
• 1:36
  recognize this complexity and thus refrain from giving out
• 1:41
  specific and detailed instructions that would apply
• 1:44
  equally to all they focused on sadhaks.
• 1:48
  Growing in Consciousness. Gaining situational awareness,
• 1:53
  to understand what was occurring in their own development and
• 1:57
  applying any number of a variety of methodologies, depending on
• 2:03
  the specific. Ocean within which they found
• 2:05
  themselves. This wide variability in the
• 2:09
  development of the various practitioners of the yoga
• 2:13
  implied that there would be variances in the timing manner
• 2:18
  type and depth of experiences that would arise for the Seeker.
• 2:24
  For those who are eager for experiences, a delay in their
• 2:28
  occurrence, became a source of anxiety, worry and
• 2:33
  dissatisfaction and despair, in some cases.
• 2:36
  SRI aurobindo, advisors that experiences that come too soon
• 2:41
  for a seeker can themselves create issues risks and problems
• 2:46
  and thus, an individual, who undertook the processes to
• 2:51
  extirpate the influence of desire and the vital ego from
• 2:55
  the nature, would be able to follow a much safer path of
• 2:59
  development. SRI aurobindo writes, quote
• 3:04
  experiences come to many before. The nature is ready to make full
• 3:08
  profit from them to others, a more or less prolonged period of
• 3:13
  purification and preparation of the stuff of the nature or the
• 3:17
  instruments. Comes first, while experiences
• 3:21
  are held up till this process is largely or wholly over the
• 3:25
  ladder method is the safe and founder of the two.
• 3:30
  In quote, reference SRI aurobindo and the mother growing
• 3:35
  within the psychology of inner development.
