- 0:02Within the framework of our mind and the experience of our Vital
- 0:06existence. We are inculcated in the belief
- 0:10that everything is subject to duality of good and bad happy
- 0:16and unhappy, light and dark. We cannot generally conceive of
- 0:21an existence that is not subject to these pairs of opposites.
- 0:27We believe that we cannot appreciate. eight happiness,
- 0:30without the experience of sadness or that we cannot truly
- 0:34gain any measure of knowledge, without a corresponding
- 0:38experience of ignorance, or that light cannot be valued unless we
- 0:44have gone through Darkness, We experience Our Lives as a series
- 0:49of alternations between these states and believe there cannot
- 0:54be any other way. We do not generally consider
- 0:59that the experience of the dualities is due to the way we
- 1:02perceive the universal creation, under the circumstances
- 1:07attendant upon our current mode and level of conscious
- 1:10awareness. If we reflect on the existence
- 1:14of the Stars our own Sun, it does not alternate within our
- 1:21ability to observe between light and dark.
- 1:25There is no on/off, switch, their it generates continuous
- 1:30light. It is the framework of Life on
- 1:34this plane and our limitation that creates The Duality of
- 1:39light with Darkness. Just as there are vital States
- 1:45Of Consciousness that thrive upon the experience of Duality
- 1:50and seek to achieve what they conceive to be as positive
- 1:53experiences. So there can be States Of
- 1:56Consciousness that achieve a form of equality, as well as
- 2:01statuses that do away with the Duality entirely.
- 2:07When Consciousness is one and Universal.
- 2:11When all awareness is quantum entangled to such a degree that
- 2:15it experiences, the entire manifestation as unified.
- 2:20And carrying out the intention of the creation, there can come
- 2:25about a status in, which all is known the one and the many and
- 2:30the relativistic conclusions about good and bad.
- 2:34Happy and unhappy, Darkness and Light.
- 2:37Lose all meaning. Such a Consciousness knows the
- 2:41unity while at the same time, recognizes the multiplicity in
- 2:47the play of forms, dr. Dalal notes, quote, the term
- 2:53super mind is apt to convey the sense of a super eminent mind,
- 2:58which is far above the ordinary mind.
- 3:01However, SRI aurobindo means by it as supercontinent plane of
- 3:06being, which is Not only above the mind, but also Beyond mind
- 3:12and radically different from it. It is beyond indifferent, not
- 3:16only in relation to the ordinary mind.
- 3:19But also in comparison with the supercontinent Plains of Mind,
- 3:23namely higher mind, illumine mind intuition and over mind for
- 3:30whereas all these supercontinent planes of Mind are blends of
- 3:35light and darkness knowledge, Ignorance supermind is the truth
- 3:40Consciousness, totally devoid of ignorance.
- 3:45SRI aurobindo writes quote, the super mind, isn't it?
- 3:49Very essence of Truth Consciousness.
- 3:52A Consciousness always free from the ignorance which is the
- 3:56foundation of our presence natural or evolutionary
- 4:00existence and from which nature in US is trying to arrive at
- 4:05self-knowledge and World Knowledge and a right
- 4:08Consciousness and the right use of our existence in the
- 4:12universe. The super mind because it is a
- 4:16truth Consciousness has this knowledge inherent in it and
- 4:21this power of true existence its course is straight and can go
- 4:26direct to a team. Its field is wide and can even
- 4:31be made illimitable. This is because its very nature
- 4:35is knowledge. It has not to acquire knowledge
- 4:39but possesses it in its own right.
- 4:43It's steps are not from nescient sore, ignorance into some
- 4:47imperfect light but from truth to Greater truth from right
- 4:53perception to deeper perception from intuition to intuition from
- 5:00illumination to utter and boundless luminousness from
- 5:05growing wideness, has to the utter vasts and to very
- 5:10infinitude. On its Summit, it possesses the
- 5:15Divine omniscience and omnipotence but even in an
- 5:20evolutionary movement of its own graded self manifestation by
- 5:25which it would eventually reveal its own highest Heights.
- 5:29It must be in its very nature essentially free from ignorance
- 5:35and error. It starts from truth and light
- 5:39and moves always in Truth and light and quote reference SRI
