Distinguishing the Ordinary Motives of the Vital Being from Spiritual Motivation

1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:05,100
The vital Nature has an innate
drive towards fulfillment and

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,200
satisfaction of desire since
most individuals are oriented

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,500
towards the outer life.
The Fulfillment comes through

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:17,000
attaining desirable objects of
the vital Focus.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,600
This can be accumulation of
wealth, it can be family fame or

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,400
achievement of certain goals.
One sets for oneself.

7
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:31,600
For some people, this can shift
into the arena of charitable

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,000
work.
Volunteer efforts to help create

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600
a better environment or improve
other people's lives.

10
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,400
The motivation behind this
however remains for the most

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,100
part the satisfaction of the
vital Nature's push for

12
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,300
fulfillment in summer, Inna or
another.

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,200
The standpoint is that of the
ego personality and the ambition

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,700
is Fueled by the quality of
rajas for the most part, even

15
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:05,200
if, as is usually the case
there's an inter mixture of

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,400
SEPTA or Thomas to change the
nature of the desire or the

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,700
action into a lighter or darker
mode.

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,400
For those who are called to the
spiritual path, the element of

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,100
fulfillment of Desire remains so
long as the standpoint is based

20
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:30,300
in the ego personality.
And when references I mine me as

21
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:37,100
the actor and recipient of the
fruits of the action As we see

22
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,000
in the teachings of the
bhagavad-gita, the issue is not

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,700
the outer form of work done, but
the inner motivation and focus,

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,500
what the Gita teaches is that
the entire standpoint should

25
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:54,700
shift away from the ego
personality and it's wants and

26
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:59,000
its fulfillment to that of the
spiritual standpoint.

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Where the individual is a Nexus
of certain forces and actions.

28
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:10,100
But the work is actually
directed inspired guided and

29
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:15,500
carried out by the Divine the
issue then becomes how

30
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:19,400
effectively the individual can
carry out that higher guidance

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,400
without reference to individual
benefit, fame, or Glory wealth,

32
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:31,400
or success, an interim phase as
long as one is still tied to the

33
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,000
ego personality. used to carry
out the action with a dedicated

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,400
mind and heart and not be
concerned about the fruits or

35
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,400
results of the action, which is
left up to the new Vine and

36
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,500
dedicated to the divine SRI
aurobindo observes.

37
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:56,000
Quote men usually work and carry
on their affairs from the

38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,100
ordinary motives of the vital
being need desire of wealth or

39
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:07,300
success or position or power or
fame, or the push to activity,

40
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,400
and the pleasure of manifesting
their capabilities, and they

41
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,500
succeed, or fail, according to
their capacity, bility power of

42
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,000
work and the good or bad
fortune.

43
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,600
In which is the result of their
nature and their karma.

44
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,700
When one takes up the yoga and
wishes to consecrate one's life

45
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:32,200
to the Divine, these ordinary
motives of the vital being have

46
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,600
no longer their full and free
play.

47
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:39,900
They have to be replaced by
another a mainly psychic and

48
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:45,200
spiritual motive, which will
enable the Sadiq to work with

49
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,900
the same Force as before no
longer for himself.

50
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,300
But for the Divine and quote
reference SRI aurobindo, and the

51
00:03:56,308 --> 00:04:01,000
mother growing within the
psychology of inner development.
