The Psychic Entity Knows the Purpose and Significance of Our Existence · Sri Aurobindo Studies

• 0:01
  When we live primarily or entirely focused on our external
• 0:06
  life via the instruments of the body life force and mind, we
• 0:11
  cannot determine nor recognize the purpose and significance of
• 0:16
  our existence. We may speculate, we may hold
• 0:21
  opinions. We may adhere to some Doctrine
• 0:25
  such as a religious Doctrine. Particularly, if we are members
• 0:29
  of a particular, Allure faith and have been trained in that
• 0:32
  faith. None of these things.
• 0:35
  However provide us any certainty as to this question, the mind
• 0:40
  the life and the body are not instruments of knowledge and
• 0:45
  thus they are tied to confusion error and misapplication of
• 0:51
  perceived facts. However adamantly we hold our
• 0:55
  views, we do not have the certainty of knowing knowledge
• 1:02
  is based on experience. When the soul the psychic being
• 1:07
  comes forward, it provides certainty as it is a direct
• 1:12
  knower of Truth. It moves the outer
• 1:15
  instrumentation to discover the truth and act upon it.
• 1:20
  It uses the suffering of the outer life as leverage to make
• 1:24
  the being ready for and receptive to the truth of its
• 1:29
  existence and the deeper meaning of one's life.
• 1:34
  The mother notes quote and it is only when one is found.
• 1:39
  You see found what he says. Found that one has a Divine self
• 1:44
  and the consequently one must seek to know this Divine self.
• 1:49
  This comes much later and yet, in spite of everything from the
• 1:54
  very moment of birth in a physical body, there is in the
• 1:58
  being in its depth, the psychic presence which pushes the whole
• 2:03
  being Words this fulfillment. But who knows it and recognizes
• 2:08
  it this psychic being that to comes only in special
• 2:12
  circumstances and unfortunately, most of the time, these have to
• 2:17
  be painful circumstances, otherwise, when goes on living
• 2:21
  unthinkingly, And in the depths of ones being is the psychic
• 2:26
  being which seeks cease seeks to awaken the Consciousness and
• 2:32
  re-establish. The union one knows nothing
• 2:35
  about it. Essentially, it is only when one
• 2:39
  has become aware of one's Soul has been identified with one's
• 2:43
  psychic. Being that one can see, in a
• 2:46
  single Flash, the picture of one's individual development
• 2:50
  Through the Ages. Then indeed one begins to know
• 2:56
  but not before then indeed I assure you, it becomes very
• 3:01
  interesting, it changes one's position in life and quote,
