  Whether we term it Divine will, synchronicity, coherence,
• 0:08
  quantum entanglement, cause and effect dependent origination,
• 0:13
  karma or the Law of Attraction, or any other terminology, there
• 0:20
  remains a truth that the specific time, place and
• 0:23
  circumstance we occupy in the world is due to a stream of
• 0:28
  energy interacting with other streams in a coordinated pattern
• 0:32
  that carries out the intention of the Universal Manifestation.
• 0:38
  For the practitioner of Integral Yoga, who by definition is
• 0:42
  focused on receiving the higher spiritual forces and
• 0:46
  transforming his life and his expression in the outer world to
• 0:49
  the divine intention, the intensity and one pointedness of
• 0:54
  the focus creates a link that allows these higher forces to
• 0:59
  manifest. The individual becomes a Nexus
• 1:03
  for that transformative action. Thus, as the evolutionary
• 1:08
  process requires old patterns and habits to either be thrown
• 1:12
  off or modified, they will necessarily be put before the
• 1:17
  individual to the extent and in the way that he can begin to
• 1:21
  address them. Not every individual gets the
• 1:25
  same set of tasks or has the same activity.
• 1:30
  The Nexus brings the right issues to the person who is
• 1:33
  meant to act upon them. This implies that each such
• 1:37
  individual has, in principle, the necessary capacity to
• 1:42
  address those very difficulties or concerns with which he is
• 1:47
  faced, the mother observes. Quote Be absolutely convinced
• 1:53
  that everything that happens, happens in order to give us
• 1:57
  precisely the lesson we needed, and if we are sincere in the
• 2:02
  Sadhna, the lesson should be accepted with joy and gratitude.
• 2:09
  Difficulties are always blessings if we know how to face
• 2:13
  them. End Quote Reference Srioro Bindu
• 2:18
  and the Mother Looking from Within, Chapter 4, Ordeals and
• 2:23
  Difficulties, pages 75 to 76.
