Latest / Sri Aurobindo Studies / The Psychic Being Provides Instant Protection When It Is Active and Guiding the Being
Transcript
- 0:01We train the physical body with intense repetition to create
- 0:05what is called muscle memory. This allows the body to respond
- 0:10instantly without thought when certain circumstances occur.
- 0:15Not all circumstances require the instantaneous response of
- 0:19the body, or even if they do, the body may not have the needed
- 0:24training and experience to deal with that circumstance.
- 0:28There is another power that has the power of instantaneous
- 0:31response at as as it is directly connected to pure consciousness
- 0:37which moves at or faster than the speed of light.
- 0:41That is the power of the psychic being or soul within one.
- 0:46When it has come forward and is in a constant presence guiding
- 0:50the life, it maintains the direct and instant connection
- 0:55with the Universal Consciousness and thus has and can utilize
- 1:00this power of instant response. When unforeseen circumstances or
- 1:05events arise, the Mother reminds us that there is no time to call
- 1:10forth this aid. Everything must be ready,
- 1:13responsive and in place at the time of the event, accident or
- 1:19circumstance occurs. Thus, the greatest protection
- 1:24one has in going through life is the active presence of the
- 1:28psychic being that is connected directly to the divine
- 1:32consciousness. The Mother observes Quote.
- 1:36There's a moment for choice even in an accident.
- 1:40For instance, 1 slips and falls. Just between the moment one has
- 1:45slipped and the moment one falls, there is a fraction of a
- 1:49second. At that moment one has the
- 1:52choice. It may be nothing much, it may
- 1:56be very serious. Only the consciousness must
- 2:00naturally be wide awake, and one must be in contact with one's
- 2:05psychic being constantly. There is no time to make the
- 2:08contact. One must be in contact between
- 2:13the moment 1 slips and the moment 1 is on the ground.
- 2:17If the mental and psychic formation is sufficiently
- 2:20strong, then there is nothing. Nothing will happen.
- 2:24Nothing happens. But if at that moment the mind
- 2:29according to its habit becomes a pessimist and tells itself, oh,
- 2:34I have slipped, That lasts the fraction of a second.
- 2:38That doesn't even take a minute. It is a fraction of a second.
- 2:42During a fraction of a second, one has the choice.
- 2:46But one must be so awake every minute of one's life.
- 2:51For a fraction of a second, one has the choice.
- 2:55There is a fraction of a second in which one can prevent the
- 2:59accident from being serious, can prevent the illness from
- 3:02entering in. One always has the choice, but
- 3:07it is for a fraction of a second and one must not miss it.
- 3:12If one misses it, it is finished.
