Elements Common to the Paths of Inner Growth

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,600
In patanjali, yoga sutras there
eight limbs or steps

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:09,800
systematically presented as the
basis for the practice of yoga.

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,000
The first two of these known as
young has and neom has present

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,800
preliminary practices to purify
and stabilize the being to

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,700
prepare for the practice of
yoga.

6
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:24,800
Many people consider these to be
moral precepts.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,400
But in reality they are simply
ensuring that the, physical

8
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,700
vital and mental being can
effectively, hold and utilize

9
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:38,200
the force without becoming
imbalanced, or misusing the

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,000
force for unintended purposes.
Long experience has shown that

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,700
failure to undertake this
purification Tory activity can

12
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,200
lead to Grievous harm and
destroy the benefits of the

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,200
yoga.
A force.

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,700
If it happens to come to the
being at the conclusion of the

15
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,800
Preparatory phase, the body will
be solid and healthy.

16
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,300
The vital force will be balanced
and steady and able to hold and

17
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,800
transmit.
The more intense energies that

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,200
result from the practice.
And the mind will be clear and

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,400
harmonious not getting disrupted
or disturbed as it undergoes the

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,300
pressure of the yogic process.
A natural result of these

21
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,800
practices is the creation of the
status of being that one may

22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,900
call observational, rather than
reactive the status permeates

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,800
all the activities of life and
is not restricted to a special

24
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,300
time or function for yogic
practice or meditation of some

25
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:45,000
sort.
Dr. Dalal observes quote,

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,600
though, the different paths vary
greatly in their methods and

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,600
processes.
Certain elements are common to

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,800
them all one.
Such Universal element is a

29
00:01:54,808 --> 00:01:58,100
certain preliminary cleansing or
purification of the outer

30
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,900
nature.
Consisting of the physical

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,900
vital, and mental Consciousness,
and attempt to enter into the

32
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:09,300
inner Consciousness, without
adequately reading, the outer

33
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,000
consciousness of its turbidity
is up to fail.

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,200
If at all one succeeds in some
measure, one is most likely to

35
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,800
be confused misled were
overwhelmed by the experiences

36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,600
of the inner Consciousness,
without a sufficient Foundation

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,900
of a calm Purity in the outer
being a second element, common

38
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,200
to all Paths of inner growth
consists in developing and in

39
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,700
gathered attitude a state of
inner concentration which

40
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,600
progressively replaces the state
of outer.

41
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:49,000
Characteristic of the normal
Consciousness, the in gathered

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,800
state is most often sought to be
inculcated through the practice

43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,800
of meditation.
That is why too many people.

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,500
The spiritual life is almost
synonymous with the practice of

45
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:04,200
meditation.
The mother notes, when they

46
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
think of the spiritual life,
they immediately think of

47
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,300
meditation.
Such an attitude tends to lead

48
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,600
to a false compartmentalization
of Life, a division and

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,600
antagonism between the spiritual
life and the ordinary life.

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,900
However, true, spirituality
lives not in any form of

51
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:31,400
practice, but in living in a
certain State of Consciousness,

52
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,100
pervading, all life and
activities Meditation, in the

53
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,900
sense of a set, practice is not
indispensable for cultivating.

54
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:46,500
Such a spiritual state of inner
concentration, action and work.

55
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,300
Done with the right
Consciousness.
