• 0:01
  For Sri aurobindo truth of the spirit is to be lived not
• 0:06
  attained by abandonment of life in the world.
• 0:10
  He looks at the evolution of body life in mind as steps along
• 0:16
  the evolutionary process and each one of them represents an
• 0:21
  important stage in an ongoing development.
• 0:26
  The action of these instruments is to be uplifted and perfected
• 0:30
  as new evolutionary Powers enter into the world.
• 0:35
  The developed human being can participate consciously in this
• 0:38
  process and thereby Aid in bringing forth, these new powers
• 0:44
  and transforming the nature and thereby the life in the world.
• 0:50
  SRI aurobindo, recount, two primary mechanisms whereby the
• 0:54
  individual aligns himself with this development.
• 0:58
  The safest and easiest is the linking of the being with the
• 1:02
  inner psychic entity, the soul deep, within behind the heart.
• 1:08
  This brings a sense of devotion, compassion, Goodwill and
• 1:13
  aspiration. That helps to overcome all
• 1:16
  doubts fears and uncertainties along the way.
• 1:22
  For some individuals. However, the path of development
• 1:26
  and linkage lies primarily through the mental Center, this
• 1:30
  path. Involves the shifting of the
• 1:32
  standpoint to one of the witness of the nature and then exerting
• 1:37
  from there, the pressure to break through the habitual
• 1:40
  patterns of the external being eventually.
• 1:44
  Either way there must result. A Harmony between the inner
• 1:49
  being the aspiring soul. And the outer nature and actions
• 1:54
  so that the outer reflects the sense of the inner.
• 2:00
  SRI aurobindo observes quote. the other side of discipline is
• 2:05
  with regard to the activities of the nature of the mind of the
• 2:09
  LifeCell for Vital of the physical being, Here, the
• 2:14
  principle is to Accord the nature with the inner
• 2:17
  realization. So that one may not be divided
• 2:20
  into two discordant Parts. They are here several
• 2:24
  disciplines or processes possible.
• 2:28
  When is to offer all the activities to the Divine and
• 2:31
  call for the inner guidance, and the taking up of one's Nature by
• 2:35
  a higher power. If there is the inward Soul
• 2:39
  opening, if the psychic being comes forward, then there is no
• 2:44
  great difficulty, there comes with it, the psychic
• 2:48
  discrimination, a constant intimation.
• 2:52
  And finally a governance, which discloses and quietly, and
• 2:56
  patiently removes all imperfections.
• 3:00
  Brings the right mental and vital movements and reshapes.
• 3:04
  The physical Consciousness also, Another method is to stand back
• 3:09
  detached from the movements of the Mind, life, physical body to
• 3:14
  regard their activities as only a habitual formation of General
• 3:18
  nature in the individual imposed on us by past workings.
• 3:24
  Not as any part of our real being in proportion as one
• 3:28
  succeeds in this becomes detached sees mind and its
• 3:33
  activities as not oneself. Life in its activities as not
• 3:38
  oneself, the body and its activities as not oneself.
• 3:44
  One becomes aware of an inner being within us.
• 3:47
  Inner mental, inner vital, inner physical silent.
• 3:53
  Calm Unbound. Unattached which reflects the
• 3:58
  true self above and can be its direct representative.
• 4:04
  From this inner silent beam proceeds and rejection of all
• 4:08
  that is to be rejected and acceptance, only of what can be
• 4:12
  kept at, transformed an inner will to Perfection or a call to
• 4:18
  the divine power to do it. Each step, when it's necessary
• 4:22
  for the change of the nature, and can also open mind life and
• 4:27
  body to the inmost, psychic entity and its guiding influence
• 4:32
  where it's direct guidance. In most cases, these two methods
• 4:37
  emerge in work together and finally fuse into one, but one
• 4:42
  can begin with either the one that feels most natural and easy
• 4:46
  to follow. Finally in all difficulties were
