• 0:01
  When we read SRI, aurobindo Zafar ISM noted below.
• 0:05
  We tend to focus on the second part of the equation, the bar to
• 0:10
  achieving the higher result. There's an implication there by
• 0:14
  that we have already achieved the first part and that we are
• 0:18
  thus ready to proceed to the next phase or stage of inner
• 0:22
  growth. In some cases, we assign a moral
• 0:26
  value to the two states and try to apply this generally such
• 0:31
  that we treat desire and ego as bad things that need to be
• 0:35
  removed. And we may even go so far as to
• 0:39
  try to extrapolate this to others, not just for our own
• 0:44
  spiritual growth. SRI, aurobindo qualifies the
• 0:48
  phrases with the precursor of when we have passed Beyond?
• 0:54
  This implies that the second status only can be fully
• 0:57
  operative when we have utilized the first status to achieve a
• 1:02
  specific stage of development. Several questions.
• 1:06
  Arise, for instance, have we truly reached the stage of being
• 1:12
  fully conscious individuals that is brought about by the action
• 1:16
  of desire and ego as all of humanity.
• 1:19
  Reached that stage in the case that we as individuals or other
• 1:25
  individuals have not yet, become fully self-realized beings.
• 1:30
  We find a continued need and purpose to the action of desire
• 1:34
  and the Distance of ego to the extent that we have only
• 1:39
  partially achieved the stage ongoing development of the ego
• 1:43
  personality may still be required further.
• 1:47
  We can recognize that across all of humanity, there is a range of
• 1:51
  development and thus the action of desire and ego still has a
• 1:56
  very important role as the individualization process
• 2:01
  expands within the frame of human development.
• 2:05
  At the right point in time, each individual faces, the need to go
• 2:10
  beyond the limits of the action of Desire on the ego.
• 2:14
  At that point, the conditions arise for the soul, the psychic
• 2:19
  being to come forward and Lead one beyond the framework, which
• 2:23
  has helped shape him up to that point SRI, aurobindo writes,
• 2:29
  quote, when we have passed Beyond enjoying 's, Then we
• 2:34
  shall have Bliss. Desire was to help her desire.
• 2:39
  Is the bar. When we have passed Beyond
• 2:42
  individualizing, then we shall be.
• 2:45
  Real person's ego was the helper ego is the bar.
• 2:52
  When we have passed Beyond Humanity, then we shall be the
• 2:57
  man. The animal was the helper.
• 3:01
  The animal is the bar. The mother comments quote.
• 3:07
  It is the same principle expressed in all the activities
• 3:10
  are aspects of the being. It is obvious that in order to
• 3:14
  come out of the state of the original incontinence, desire
• 3:18
  was indispensable for without desire.
• 3:22
  There would have been no Awakening to activity but once
• 3:26
  you are born into Consciousness, this very desire which helped
• 3:30
  you to come out of the in conscience.
• 3:33
  Prevent you from living. Rating yourself from the bonds
• 3:36
  of matter and rising to a higher consciousness.
• 3:41
  It is the same thing for the ego, the self in order to pass
• 3:45
  on to a higher plane. One must first exist.
• 3:49
  And to exist, one must become a conscious separate individual,
• 3:55
  and to become a conscious separate individual.
• 3:58
  The ego is indispensable, otherwise, when remains mingled
• 4:03
  with all that lives around us. But once the individuality is
• 4:08
  formed if one wants to I Rise to a higher level and live a
• 4:13
  spiritual life. If one wants even to become
• 4:16
  simply a higher type of man, the limitations of the ego are the
• 4:21
  worst obstacles. And the ego must be surpassed in
• 4:26
  order to enter the true consciousness.
• 4:30
  And indeed, for the Ordinary Elementary life of, man, all the
• 4:35
  qualities belonging to the animal nature, especially those
• 4:39
  of the body were indispensable, otherwise man would not have
• 4:43
  existed. But when man has become a
• 4:47
  conscious mental being, everything that binds him to his
• 4:51
  animal origin, necessarily becomes a hindrance to progress
• 4:55
  and to the liberation of the being So for everyone, except
• 5:00
  for those who are born free and this is obviously very rare for
• 5:06
  everyone. This state of reason of effort,
• 5:10
  desire individualization and solid physical balance in
• 5:15
  accordance with the ordinary mode of living is indispensable
• 5:19
  to begin with until the time when becomes a conscious being
• 5:24
  when one must give up all these Things in order to become a
• 5:30
  spiritual being and quote, reference SRI aurobindo in the
• 5:36
  mother growing within the psychology of inner development.
