Changing Outer Actions Is an Essential Aspect of Inner Development

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,500
When an action takes place in
the world, it has a number of

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,900
effects, both in the world and
in the psychology of the

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:14,900
individual, carrying out the
action, each action creates a

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:21,400
formation, a rhythm or a solid
result that tends to perpetuate

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,700
and repeat itself on an ongoing
basis.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,700
Thus, the more we carry out
specific forms of action The

7
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,400
more difficult, they are to
change or remove.

8
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:36,400
This is the secret of why
habits.

9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,600
Addictions and instincts are so
hard to change.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,700
For those individuals who wish
to effectuate a real change.

11
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:52,200
Therefore they must contend with
the pressure that habits and

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,100
concrete sized forms exerts upon
them.

13
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,300
Once brought into existence
through action, these external

14
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:05,400
formations have a momentum, and
a pathway to recreate

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,400
themselves.
In any attempt to change.

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Therefore the importance of
discontinuing support for an

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,500
overt manifestation of outer
actions cannot be over

18
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,400
emphasized.
An addiction cannot be broken as

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,100
long as it continues to be fed,
This is the case whether one is

20
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,800
speaking about a strong,
physical addiction such as

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Alcohol, Tobacco, or drugs, or
about other less traumatic

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,200
issues.
One is facing such as Cravings

23
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:42,200
desires or habit which are
otherwise deemed acceptable by

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,700
Society.
It is also true that to overcome

25
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:51,000
the force of such embedded,
outer manifestations, a will,

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,200
and an aspiration for change
must be present.

27
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:59,900
Aunt, so the fact of changing
the outer action implies changes

28
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,100
to the inner forces that
supported it in the first place.

29
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,900
It is of course, not simple to
change.

30
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,200
Deeply entrenched habits of
action outright suppression,

31
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,700
eventually can backfire.
If it increases the pressure and

32
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:21,000
force of the suppressed action,
which then returns with an

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,200
increased power, to the extent
possible, a process of

34
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,400
redirecting, the energy and the
focus toward other.

35
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Things can be much more
effective.

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,700
We see this occurring naturally
as a child, Those and interests

37
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,800
change.
And thus the child is able to

38
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,100
leave behind childish, Axe and
desires and the focus on

39
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:48,500
childish games and toys.
To redirect the attention to new

40
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:53,700
occupations and interest, a
strong spiritual aspiration has

41
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:56,300
the power to effectuate in the
Seeker.

42
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:01,900
A redirection of attention and
focus away from those actions

43
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,900
that are to be put aside or
changed.

44
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,000
The mother observes quote.
You must never say, I shall

45
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,300
first purify my thought purify
my body purify my vital and then

46
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,900
later, I shall purify, my
action.

47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
That is the normal order, but it
never succeeds.

48
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,900
The effect of order is to begin
from the outside.

49
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:32,300
The very first thing is that I
do not do it and afterwards.

50
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:36,800
I desire it no longer and next I
close my doors.

51
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,200
Completely to all impulses.
They no longer exist for me, I

52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,700
am now outside all that.
This is the true order.

53
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:53,600
The order that is effective
first not to do it and then you

54
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,900
will no longer desire and after
that it will go out of your

55
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:04,000
Consciousness completely and
