The Role of Spiritual Experiences in the Change of Human Nature · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  The vital ego is attracted to the excitement of having
• 0:04
  experiences that are unusual or powerful.
• 0:09
  It therefore wants to find ways to repeat or expand upon them.
• 0:14
  Once they have had such an experience.
• 0:17
  In reality. However, there is very little of
• 0:20
  long-term value in this approach, the experiences come
• 0:25
  and they go and the individual remains essentially unchanged
• 0:31
  other them perhaps being distracted.
• 0:33
  Enough to want to chase. After experiences a spiritual
• 0:39
  experience can be valuable if it awakens the Seeker to a
• 0:43
  possibility or a direction, he should take It may also be
• 0:48
  useful if it brings forth a particular force, that is needed
• 0:53
  for the transformation of the nature.
• 0:55
  The issue comes down to what the secret does with this
• 0:58
  experience, and how he works to integrate The Beneficial aspects
• 1:04
  into his life. There is in that case, a dual
• 1:08
  process of a cent where the being Rises to a new level with
• 1:12
  a new experience and integration or consolidation where the
• 1:18
  experience is brought to bear on the ordinary nature of the
• 1:21
  individual and work is done to effectuate.
• 1:24
  True change in the nature. Your?

  SRI aurobindo declares in his epic poem savitri and Legend and
• 1:31
  assemble quote a moment, seize the ages toil to express end
• 1:39
  quote. It is like that.
• 1:42
  The experience, the vision, the spiritual Force comes and
• 1:47
  presents itself before the Seeker.
• 1:49
  This momentary experience must then be converted and
• 1:53
  implemented to change the mind, the Life Energy and even the
• 1:58
  physical body, the implementation process is not
• 2:02
  generally fast or easy. Requiring considerable effort
• 2:07
  over time. Bolstered by patience and
• 2:12
  perseverance and grounded in peace and certitude of the
• 2:16
  eventual success. This certitude is inherent in
• 2:20
  the soul, the psychic being and informs its aspiration.
• 2:27
  SRI aurobindo writes quote merely to have experiences of
• 2:32
  the higher Consciousness will not change the nature, either
• 2:36
  the higher Consciousness has to make a dynamic descent into the
• 2:40
  whole being and change it, or it must establish itself in the
• 2:44
  inner being down to the inner physical.
• 2:47
  So that the latter feels itself separate from the outer and is
• 2:53
  able to act freely upon it. Or the psychic must come forward
• 2:58
  and change the nature. Or the inner will must awake and
• 3:02
  force the nature to change. These are the four ways in which
• 3:07
  change can be brought about. In quote.
