  The vital nature, craves excitement and signs of
• 0:05
  progress, it feels like time spent reflecting relaxing, or
• 0:10
  contemplating may be wasted time.
• 0:14
  This is similar to the mindset. That sees a vacant piece of land
• 0:18
  with just plants flowers and trees on it as wasted as it has
• 0:24
  not been developed. If your window place has some
• 0:28
  perspective on this Viewpoint as he recognizes the importance and
• 0:33
  value of having the time and space for assimilation and
• 0:38
  integration of the new insights and Energies.
• 0:42
  And the ancient texts the imagery is shown as the ascent
• 0:45
  of a mountain and then a time needed for rest on the plateau
• 0:50
  before, moving to the next phase of the climb.
• 0:54
  For an integral yoga, that seeks the transformation of the
• 0:57
  nature. It becomes important not just to
• 1:01
  experience the force but to be able, to let it fill and build
• 1:06
  out the capacities of the Mind, life and body, thus a rhythm and
• 1:13
  sues, for the process whereby, there is an intense period of
• 1:17
  experience. Followed by a slower quiet,
• 1:21
  period. This mirrors, the peak and
• 1:25
  Valley wave patterns found in the electromagnetic spectrum and
• 1:30
  follows the law of the vibratory patterns of oscillation between
• 1:34
  the time for the peak flow and the time of the trough between
• 1:38
  the Peaks. When the Seeker begins to see
• 1:42
  and understand this Rhythm, there is less impatience.
• 1:47
  And the reg Asik, impulses are modulated Providing a deeper
• 1:52
  insight and overview of the processes of the yoga and
• 1:56
  encouraging the development of patience and persistence as core
• 2:01
  qualities for the long-term achievement of the goals of the
• 2:05
  yogic sadhna, SRI aurobindo writes, quote as regards, your
• 2:12
  own sadhna, and those of others I think it necessary to make two
• 2:17
  or three observations first. I have for some time, had the
• 2:22
  impression that there is a to constant activity and pressure
• 2:26
  for rapidity of progress and a multitude of experiences.
• 2:32
  These things are all right in themselves, but there must be
• 2:35
  certain safeguards. First there should be sufficient
• 2:40
  periods of rest in silence. Even if relaxation.
• 2:45
  In which there can be a quiet assimilation.
• 2:49
  Assimilation is very important and periods necessary for it
• 2:53
  should not be regarded with impatience as stoppages of the
• 2:57
  yoga. Care should be taken to make
• 3:01
  calm and quiet strength and inner silence, the basic
• 3:06
  condition for all activity. There should be no excessive
• 3:10
  strain, any fatigue disturbance or inordinate, sensitiveness of
• 3:17
  the nervous, and physical parts of which you mentioned certain
• 3:21
  symptoms in your letters should be quieted and removed as they
• 3:26
  are often signs of over strain or to grade an activity or
• 3:31
  rapidity in the yoga. It must also be remembered that
• 3:36
  experiences are only valuable as indication.
• 3:39
  And openings. And the main thing always is the
• 3:44
  steady harmonious and increasingly organized opening
• 3:47
  and change of the different parts of the Consciousness and
• 3:52
