  climate and customs of the country.
• 0:43
  They are arriving in the ashram for the first time and know
• 0:47
  nothing of its life or its customs.

  Some of them come with a mental aspiration, either to serve or
• 0:55
  to learn others, come in the hope of doing yoga of finding
• 1:00
  the Divine and uniting with him. Finally, there are those who
• 1:05
  want to devote themselves entirely to the Divine work upon
• 1:09
  Earth. All of them come impelled by
• 1:12
  their psychic being which wants to lead them towards self
• 1:16
  realization. They come with their psychic and
• 1:20
  And and ruling their Consciousness.
• 1:23
  They have a psychic contact with people and things.

  Everything seems beautiful and good to them, their health,
• 1:30
  improves, their Consciousness grows more luminous, they feel
• 1:35
  happy peaceful and safe. They think that they have

• 1:47
  They naturally find everywhere in everything and everybody, it
• 1:52
  gives an openness towards the true Consciousness, pervading

  here and working out everything. So long, as the openness is
• 2:01
  there, the piece, the fullness and the joy remain with their

  immediate results of progress, Health and Fitness in the
• 2:10
  physical quietness and good. all in the vital clear,
• 2:15
  understanding and Broad nose in the mental and a general feeling
• 2:20
  of security and satisfaction, but it is difficult for a human
• 2:25
  being to keep up a constant contact with his psychic as soon
• 2:29
  as he settles down and the freshness of the new experience
• 2:32
  Fades away. The old person comes back to the
• 2:36
  surface with all its habits preferences, small manias
• 2:41
  shortcomings and misunderstandings, the piece is
• 2:45
  replaced by restlessness. The Joy, vanishes the
• 2:49
  understanding is blinded and the feeling that the place Is the
• 2:53
  same as everywhere else Creeps in because one has become, what
• 2:58
  one was everywhere else. Instead of seeing only what has
• 3:02
  been accomplished. He becomes aware more and more
• 3:07
  and almost exclusively of what has yet to be done.

• 3:46
  on the body and tries to find ways of satisfying.
• 3:50
  It this is practically impossible for with a very few
• 3:54
  exceptions. The more it is given the more it
• 3:57
  demands. Besides the physical being is
• 4:01
  ignorant and blind. It is full of false.
• 4:04
  Notions preconceived ideas prejudices and preferences.
• 4:10
  Indeed, it cannot deal effectively with the body, only
• 4:15
  the psychic Consciousness has the knowledge and insight needed
