Transcript
- 0:01As long as we remain rooted in the awareness of Mind, life
- 0:06body, we see the world and our existence as a fragmented
- 0:11collection of separate objects beings and forces, and we act,
- 0:17as if we are separate and distinct from everything else,
- 0:23the spiritual transformation of Consciousness, involves a shift
- 0:26of standpoint to, that of Oneness.
- 0:30We can see and experience the unity of the entire creation and
- 0:36can act from the deeper intention of that unified
- 0:39existence. The lynchpin of the change in
- 0:43Awareness is the shift from the surface being of Mind, life body
- 0:49to the inmost, being the sole or psychic being which is the
- 0:54aspect within us that is in touch with the Divine and which
- 0:59thereby allows us us to transcend the surface ego
- 1:03consciousness. Dr. Dalal writes quote in
- 1:08spiritual experience. There exists One, Soul being
- 1:12one, sole existence, which Embraces all beings and existing
- 1:16things in the universe and which in spiritual realization is
- 1:21experienced as the oneself of all things and creatures.
- 1:27But in our ordinary experience, we perceive the world as
- 1:31inhabited, by a plurality of beings and things existing,
- 1:36outside what we felt to be our self, this is because our true
- 1:41self described previously. As the purusa, who is one with
- 1:46the self of all things and beings has identified itself
- 1:51through ignorance with prakruti, its outer instrumental Nature
- 1:56Made. Tup of body life and mind this
- 2:00identification of purusa with prakruti has led to the
- 2:04formation in US of an ego physical, vital and mental,
- 2:10which gives us the sense of a self that is separate from the
- 2:14rest of the universe. Thus, it is the ego that gives
- 2:19rise to the distinction, ingrained, in our ordinary
- 2:22Consciousness between, what we feel to br, Yourself and the
- 2:28rest of the universe, which is perceived as not self.
- 2:33Also, it is the ego physical vital and mental, which due to
- 2:40its complexity and heterogeneity leads to the formation of
- 2:44multiple selves, or personalities, causing division,
- 2:49conflict, disharmony, and disorganization in our outer
- 2:55being Harmonization. And unification of the outer
- 2:59being can be brought about only by discovering our inmost, being
- 3:05chaitanya, purusa or the psychic being and organizing the outer
- 3:11being around the psychic as its Center and governing principle.
- 3:18The aim of spiritual quest in the past has generally been to
- 3:22obtain Liberation from the bondage to suffering caused by
- 3:26the illusory sense of a separate self.
- 3:29The ego and thereby escape from the Perpetual cycle of birth and
- 3:35death. According to Sri aurobindo the
- 3:39farther goal of spiritual Evolution Beyond Liberation
- 3:43consists in the transformation of the instruments of the
- 3:47spirit. It's mine life and body.
- 3:51So as to establish the kingdom of the spirit on Earth, it is
- 3:56when the outer being is Unified and governed by the psychic
- 4:00being that the transformation of Mind life and body becomes
- 4:05possible as SRI. Aurobindo State quote, the
- 4:10psychic being supports the Mind. Vital body Grows by their
- 4:15experiences carries the Teacher from Life To Life.
- 4:21At first, it is veiled by mind vital and body.
- 4:24But as it grows, it becomes capable of coming forward and
- 4:29dominating the Mind, life and Body in the ordinary man.
- 4:34It depends on them for expression and is not able to
- 4:38take them up and freely use them.
- 4:41The life of the being is animal or human and not divine.
- 4:47When the psychic being can buy sadhna, become dominant and
- 4:51freely. Use its instruments.
- 4:54Then the impulse towards the Divine becomes complete and the
- 4:59transformation of Mind, vital and body, not merely their
- 5:03Liberation becomes possible and quote reference SRI aurobindo in
