The Importance of the Attitude of Trust for the Yogic Practitioner · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  In our world today, we tend to doubt everything question.
• 0:05
  Everything trust in nothing. We recognize how much
• 0:09
  dissembling takes place. How many Illusions are placed
• 0:13
  before our eyes? And we frequently have the
• 0:17
  experience that. When we trust in someone or
• 0:19
  something, we tend to later, see that we have been misled or
• 0:24
  manipulated it is. One of the sicknesses pervasive
• 0:28
  in the modern world Everything Bridge.
• 0:32
  Miss trust in US. Yet, we also find that progress
• 0:36
  in yoga, which requires us to shift our standpoint beyond the
• 0:40
  normal, physical vital, mental framework requires a modicum of
• 0:45
  trust or faith in a greater reality beyond the facts of our
• 0:51
  modern civilization. How could we proceed in
• 0:55
  successfully overcome? The tests and challenges the
• 0:59
  obstacles and disruptions. If we do not have trust in the
• 1:04
  Good ability and eventuality of the next stage of evolution.
• 1:09
  We have them to differentiate between trust in human
• 1:12
  institutions, and conceptions, and the deeper larger trust in
• 1:18
  the Universal manifestation. And the Divine intention in that
• 1:23
  manifestation of which we are a part.
• 1:28
  This level of trust, or faith is embedded in the psychic being,
• 1:33
  which I was a direct relation to the universal manifestation and
• 1:36
  it's truth. When we one shift our standpoint
• 1:40
  from the mental to the psychic being we recognize that all
• 1:45
  human developments framed by the limits of Mind, life and body
• 1:51
  are subject to break down but that nevertheless the universal
• 1:56
  creation continues to roll out its meaning and purpose.
• 2:02
  For yoga, practitioner, the focus and tuning of the
• 2:06
  Consciousness. Towards that Universal creation
• 2:08
  is essential as otherwise we become paralyzed in doubt and
• 2:14
  insecurity doubt. Focuses the mind on the Frailty
• 2:19
  of what already exists. While the yoga must tune itself
• 2:23
  into the manifestation that is preparing to be birthed.
• 2:28
  The mother observes, quote children went After themselves
• 2:33
  and not deformed by older. People have such a great trust.
• 2:37
  That all will be well, for example, when they have a small
• 2:41
  accident they never think that this is going to be something
• 2:44
  serious. They are spontaneously convinced
• 2:48
  that will it will soon be over. And this help so powerfully in
• 2:53
  putting an end to it. If the trust is there
• 2:57
  spontaneous candid, unquestioning it works better
• 3:02
  than anything else and the results are marvelous.
• 3:07
  It is with the contradictions and down to the mind that one
• 3:10
  spoils everything with this kind of notion, which comes when one
• 3:14
  is in difficulties, although it's impossible.
• 3:17
  I shall never manage it. And if this is going to be
• 3:21
  activated, if this condition I am in which I don't want, is
• 3:26
  going to grow still worse? If I continue to slide down
• 3:30
  farther and farther. If if if if like that and when
• 3:37
  builds a wall between oneself and the force one wants to
• 3:41
  receive the psychic being has this trust, has it wonderfully
• 3:47
  without a shadow without an argument without a contradiction
• 3:52
  and when it is like that there is not a prayer which does not
• 3:56
  get an answer no aspiration, which is not realized in quote,
