1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,120
Enormous forces are at work in
the universe.
2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,080
Vast numbers of stars and their
planetary groupings move at high
3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,400
speed radiation of various sorts
streams throughout the universe.
4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,440
There is a cosmic background
radiation that scientists can
5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,160
now measure as they develop ever
finer instrumentation to try to
6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,840
understand the universal
creation.
7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,480
Here on Earth, we exist due to
the radiation provided by the
8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,040
sun, which provides the energy
needed to sustain life on the
9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,280
planet.
We are subject to gravitational
10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,760
forces, including the influence
of the moon.
11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,480
We recognize some of these
forces ourselves to some degree.
12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,080
When we deal with sunburn, UV
rays impacting our vision, et
13
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,760
cetera, we harness electricity
to run much of our lives.
14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,640
These unseen forces are now able
to be measured, quantified and
15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,520
harnessed to a great degree.
These are the universal cosmic
16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,320
forces at the material level of
the creation.
17
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,800
They are also similarly
universal forces that operate on
18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,640
the vital, the mental, and
indeed other planes of existence
19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,280
that we cannot see, but which we
can experience in their impact
20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,080
on our lives.
Those who take up spiritual
21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,040
practices tend to develop
awareness of many of these more
22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,760
subtle forces.
Just as we have found ways to
23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,960
identify and measure material
forces of the universe, we are
24
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:47,800
finding ways to identify and
measure these other, more subtle
25
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,320
levels of vibration and their
impacts, Sri Aurobindo writes in
26
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,160
his epic poem Savitri, A Legend
and a Symbol.
27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Book 1 Canto 3 quote awakened to
the lines that nature hides.
28
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,199
Attuned to her movements that
exceed our can, he grew one with
29
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:13,320
a covert universe.
His grasp surprised her
30
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,280
mightiest energies.
Springs.
31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,760
He spoke with the unknown
guardians of the world's forms.
32
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,600
He descried our mortal eyes.
See not his wide eyes, bodied
33
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,960
viewless entities.
He saw the Cosmic Forces at
34
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,320
their work and felt the occult
impulse behind man's will.
