How to Develop New Powers of Action · Sri Aurobindo Studies

  One of the ways we tend to limit ourselves is to decide in
• 0:05
  advance that we cannot succeed at something, that we don't have
• 0:10
  the education, the experience, the skill, or the necessary
• 0:15
  training to accomplish that task.
• 0:19
  We imprison ourselves within our narrow range by this type of
• 0:23
  mental restriction. Instead of experiencing life
• 0:28
  trying to do new things, we give up before we start.
• 0:34
  The disciple asks. Sometimes there are latent
• 0:37
  powers in us which we are unaware to do a work.
• 0:42
  How is 1. To know whether one is capable
• 0:44
  of doing it or not? The mother observes.
• 0:48
  Quote. How can one know whether one is
• 0:51
  capable of doing it or not? By trying.
• 0:55
  That's the best thing. And if you do not succeed
• 0:59
  immediately, persevere. And you must know that if a
• 1:04
  strong urge, a very strong urge to do something comes to you,
• 1:09
  that means this work has something to do with you and you
• 1:13
  are capable of doing it. But one can have powers which
• 1:17
  are so well hidden that one has to dig long before finding them.
• 1:22
  So you must not get discouraged at the first set back.
• 1:27
  You must persist. End Quote reference Sri or
