Contending With the Multitude of Beings That Exist Within Each Individual

0:02 Almost everyone has the experience from time to time of acting out a different personality. We may say that someone got out of bed on the wrong side. This morning when we see a normally cheerful and upbeat individual responding in a totally uncharacteristic way. We chalk this up to some mood or temporary circumstance, stress sleeplessness. Worried or some physical condition, or imbalance, or even some mental focus that distracts we have times of intense, mental focus or emotionally-charged aspects to our lives or times of vital or physical challenges that impact the way we respond to life.

0:52 If we observe closely, we can see that the changes we undergo are based on the variable effect of the Dominance and modifications, brought about by the three gunas, the qualities of nature impacting. The current aspect of the being that is in front. Whether mental, vital or physical, if we look, even more closely, we find that the mental being the emotional, being the vital being and the physical being are not unified, and that there are different aspects that come forward. Even Within These segments, then we have to examine the interaction of the different aspects. Such that there is a current predominant physical being combined with the current predominant vital or mental being the possible combinations.

1:46 Here are virtually endless. The mother concludes that those who have developed a highly developed individuality represent an amalgam of innumerable person. Mallet. He's and by no means are they all unified thus leading to Inner conflict or at least modification of the pure action of any one aspect of the being the process of observing understanding and unifying the being around a central focus. And goal is for such individuals, a difficult and lengthy one.

2:27 Those who have a less complex in her life are able to deal with their lives in a much simpler and easier manner. SRI aurobindo writes, quote. It is part of the foundation of yoga to become conscious of the great complexity of our nature, see the different forces, that move it, and get over it. A control of directing knowledge. A disciple inquires, quote, are these forces different for each person? The mother responds. Quote, yes, the composition is completely different. Otherwise everybody would be the same.

3:10 There are not two beings with an identical combination between the different parts of the being and the composition of these parts. The proportion is different. In each individual, there are people primitive men. People like the yet undeveloped races or the degenerated ones whose combinations are. Fairly simple. They are still complicated. But comparatively simple. And there are people absolutely at the top of the human ladder that Elite of humanity, their combinations become. So complicated that a very special discernment is needed to find the relations between all these things.

3:56 There are beings, who carry in themselves, thousands of different personalities. And then each one has its own Rhythm and alternation and there is a kind of combination sometimes their inner conflicts and there is a play of activities which are rhythmic and with alternations of certain parts which come to the front and then go back and again come to the front but when one takes all that it makes such complicated Combinations. That some people Truly find, it difficult to understand what is going on in themselves and yet these are the ones most capable of a complete coordinated conscious organized action. But their organization is infinitely more complicated than that of primitive or undeveloped men who have two or three, impulses and four or five ideas and who can arrange all this. Easily in themselves and seem to be very coordinated and logical because there is not very much too organized. But there are people truly like a multitude and so that gives them a plasticity, a fluidity of action and an extraordinary complexity of perception.

5:17 And these people are capable of understanding a considerable number of things as though they had at their disposal a veritable Army, which they move according to circumstance and need and all this is inside them. So when these people with the help of yoga, the discipline of yoga succeed in centralizing, all these beings around the central light of the divine presence, they become powerful entities precisely because of their complexity. So long as this is not organized, they often give the impression of an incoherent. They are almost incomprehensible one can't manage to understand. They are like that, they are so complex. But when they have organized, all these beings that is put each one in its place around the Divine Center, then truly, they are terrific for.

6:17 They have the capacity of understanding almost everything and doing almost everything because of the multitude of entities, they contain of, which they are constituted. And the nearer one is to the Emmett of the ladder, the more is it like that? And consequently the more difficult is it to organize ones being because when you have about a dozen elements, you can quickly compass and organize them. But when you have thousands of them, it is difficult and quote, reference SRI aurobindo in the mother, our many selves practical yogic psychology chapter 1 Our manifold being pages to 24.
