Even a Brief Glimpse of the Spirit Is Sufficient to Direct the Seeker to the Spiritual Path

1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:05,600
When an individual turns his
attention to the spiritual path,

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:09,700
he may experience along the way
certain doubts as to his

3
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:15,200
suitability, his capacity and
his ability to obtain the truth

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,000
described by those who have
experienced along the way and

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,800
who describe various steps and
stages, the way is long and

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,700
difficulties of bound, No Doubt.
But only those who have reached

7
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,100
a certain level of inner
development, even get a glimpse

8
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:38,200
of what lies ahead, the path,
then requires substantial,

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,400
patience and persistence.
And then all Abiding Faith in

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,100
the ultimate result, which is
after all in the hands of the

11
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:52,700
Divine not controllable.
By any human agency, we are

12
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:57,600
reminded by SRI aurobindo that
he who chooses the Divine has

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,300
been chosen.
Chosen by the divine.

14
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,700
And tree Krishna makes it clear
that there is no failure for

15
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,000
those who take up the spiritual
life.

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Even if they do not recognize
for themselves, the fruits of

17
00:01:11,408 --> 00:01:15,900
the effort in this lifetime.
As he indicates that no effort

18
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:19,700
towards spiritual realization is
ever lost.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,100
It should also be noted that
even, the briefest Glimpse will

20
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,700
have its impact on the life of
the individual.

21
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,600
What causes a young child?
For instance, to wonder about

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,700
his existence or to take up deep
study of Religion science

23
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,300
philosophy without any obvious
external pressure to do.

24
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,600
So What causes a child to take
birth in a family that is

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,200
spiritually awake and thus is
able to provide a suitable

26
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,000
atmosphere for the child to grow
in this direction.

27
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:58,200
The child does not necessarily
bring with him, the details of

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,600
past growth and experience, but
the Impressions guide, his

29
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,199
seeking in this lifetime we see
such examples and can recognize

30
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,200
that there was a calling already
existent in the child who

31
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:15,200
Bodies.
A soul that has reached a point

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,500
where it can now begin to attend
to these deeper existential

33
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:24,300
issues and not simply immerse
himself in the outer life.

34
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,900
The spiritual Force once active
in the individual will

35
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,300
eventually reach.
Its ultimate fruition.

36
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:37,800
As it is the most powerful force
active in the human being far,

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,900
more powerful than the material,
vital, or mental forces.

38
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:46,200
With which we are most familiar
in our limited human existence.

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,800
The mother notes quote.
It is enough to have had once

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,700
one minute of aspiration and it
will even if it be very fugitive

41
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,200
to become conscious of the
Divine to realize the Divine.

42
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,500
For it to flash, like, lightning
through the whole body, they're

43
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,100
even cells of the body which
respond.

44
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:15,400
This is not visible all at once,
but there is a response

45
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,900
everywhere.
And it is by slowly carefully

46
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,500
putting together, all these
parts which have responded

47
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,100
though it be.
But once that one can build up

48
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:31,100
something, which will be
coherent and organized and which

49
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:36,400
will permit ones action to
continue with Will sincerity and

50
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,800
perseverance.
Even if leading idea in a child

51
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,000
at a certain moment in its
childhood when the psychic being

52
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,800
is most in front, if it succeeds
in penetrating through the outer

53
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Consciousness and giving the
child just an impression of

54
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,400
Something Beautiful, which must
be realized it creates a little

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,300
nucleus and upon this, you build
your action.

56
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:07,000
There is a vast mass of humanity
to whom one would never say You

57
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,600
must realize the Or do yoga to
find the Divine.

58
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,100
If You observe, well, you will
see that it is a tiny minority

59
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:20,899
to whom this can be.
Said, it means that this

60
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:24,400
minority of beings is prepared
to do yoga.

61
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:29,700
It is that it is that there has
been a beginning of realization,

62
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,400
I beginning is enough.

inner development.
