  We observe in nature that certain plants turn towards the
• 0:04
  sun and follow the sun's position in the sky throughout
• 0:07
  the day. This phenomenon, heliotropism,
• 0:11
  is based on certain sensor cells in these plants that identify
• 0:15
  the location of the light and automatically Orient themselves
• 0:19
  towards it. Sunflowers, daisies, and others
• 0:23
  are known to display this phenomenon.
• 0:26
  The psychic being has a similar focus as it is drawn
• 0:30
  automatically toward the light, the truth of existence, and all
• 0:34
  that is good, beautiful, and uplifting to the spirit.
• 0:38
  The connection between the psychic being and the spiritual
• 0:41
  truth of existence is based on oneness.
• 0:45
  We could say that there is a type of quantum entanglement
• 0:48
  between the psychic being and the spiritual truth of
• 0:52
  existence, such that there is an automatic flow of energy that
• 0:56
  provides the psychic being with an innate sense of the truth and
• 0:59
  significance of its existence. As the psychic being develops,
• 1:05
  it is thereby able to distinguish truth from
• 1:08
  falsehood, light from darkness, just as the swan is symbolically
• 1:13
  said to be able to separate milk from water, Sviorobindo
• 1:18
  observes. Quote.
• 1:20
  It is the soul in US which turns always towards truth, good and
• 1:24
  beauty, because it is by these things that it itself grows in
• 1:29
  stature. The rest, their opposites, are a
• 1:33
  necessary part of experience, but have to be outgrown in the
• 1:37
  spiritual increase of the being. The fundamental psychic entity
• 1:42
  in US has the delight of life and all experience as part of
• 1:46
  the progressive manifestation of the Spirit.
• 1:49
  But the very principle of its delight of life is to gather out
• 1:53
  of all contacts and happenings their secret divine sense and
• 1:58
  essence, a divine use and purpose, so that by experience
• 2:03
  our mind and life may grow out of the inconscience, towards a
• 2:07
  supreme consciousness, out of the divisions of the ignorance,
• 2:11
  towards an integralizing consciousness and knowledge.
• 2:16
  It is there for that, and it pursues from life to life its
• 2:21
  ever increasing upward tendency and insistence.
• 2:25
  The growth of the soul is a growth out of darkness into
• 2:28
  light, out of falsehood into truth, out of suffering, into
• 2:33
  its own supreme and universal Ananda.
