Evolution of Consciousness and the Course of Time -- Individual Yoga or Yoga of Divine Manifestation
We look at yoga as an individual endeavor. We practice yoga, and we look for specific outcomes or results. It may be health, or it may be increased awareness, energy, power, and knowledge. It may be liberation from a world of illusion, it may be spiritual freedom, or it may be a realization of the Divine. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have radically redefined the objective of the yoga and the role and destiny of the individualA talk sponsored by the Cultural Integration Fellowship, San Francisco, August 3, 2025

00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,520
Welcome everyone, Welcome to the
Cultural Integration Fellowship.
2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:25,120
I'm very happy to have Santosh
back who's going to speak on
3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:34,480
matters concerning evolution and
how we can participate in this
4
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,560
evolution which is which is
going on.
5
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,560
I'm sure you're familiar with
this fact that integral yoga is
6
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,360
a world transforming yoga.
Of course, individual liberation
7
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,800
is extremely important.
The entire yoga is predicated on
8
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,520
that.
But the journey does not end in
9
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600
liberation.
It does not end in moksha,
10
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,680
there's still some travelling to
do.
11
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,080
In fact it is after that that a
profound collaboration with the
12
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840
force of the mother begins to
happen.
13
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:22,160
And it is from that perspective,
in its ultimate sense, that
14
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,400
individual and world
transformations has to be
15
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,920
undertook, taken.
But on that issue, it will be
16
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,320
Santosh who will be shedding
more light.
17
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,200

00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:55,520
8711 word Santosh Krinsky 871 So
before I hand over the screen to
30
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,600
santosh, I want to read a poem
from Doctor Haidas Choudhury's
31
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:08,640
collection The Rhythm of Truth
and the title of this poem is
32
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Creative action.
Truth is freedom and freedom is
33
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,480
joy.
Life is joyful expression of
34
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,920
truth and freedom.
Life is the rhythm of light
35
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:29,160
breaking through darkness.
It is the dance of spirit in the
36
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,120
heart of matter, the music of
silence beneath all surface
37
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,880
turmoil, the drama of the unseen
visible in tears and laughter.
38
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,720
When a glimpse is caught of the
formless light, when the message
39
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
is heard from the soundless
word.
40
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,400
When the path is cleared for the
gateless gate, the cup of life
41
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,680
is filled to the brim with the
ecstasy of creative action.
42
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:14,080
Let's meditate for a minute at
least, and then I will hand over
43
00:04:14,080 --> 00:05:13,720
the screen to Santosh.
Welcome back, Santosh,
44
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:30,950
over to you.
Well, thank you.
45
00:05:31,870 --> 00:05:36,750
I'd like to first of all,
welcome everybody who's joined
46
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:41,390
us here today.
And little housekeeping stuff
47
00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:45,470
looks like everybody's muted
your microphones, which is
48
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:50,080
great.
But we do expect to have some
49
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,920
time for what I find to be the
most interesting part of these
50
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,640
talks is some conversation
between all of us after the end
51
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,200
of the presentation.
So we'll leave some time for
52
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800
that.
We're going to do something a
53
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,960
little bit unusual this time.
You know, we sort of have these
54
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,240
formulae that we accept after
having studied Trioro Bindo for
55
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:22,600
many years, that the evolution
of consciousness developed forms
56
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,280
and basically there's this
evolution in process.
57
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,040
But I don't know, until recently
I wasn't really much concerned
58
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,120
about, well, OK, let's look at
the process and see what it
59
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,120
looks like and see how it begins
to correspond with what the
60
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,440
scientists have to say about how
these things happen.
61
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:52,120
So actually the the title for
the discussion today that I sent
62
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,680
in was the evolution of
Consciousness and the course of
63
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,800
time, our spiritual destiny, and
it turned into spiritual or
64
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880
collective destiny, which is
fine because that's where it was
65
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,800
going.
But we're going to spend some
66
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200
time going through a brief
history of time.
67
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840
With all due deference and
respect to Stephen Hawking,
68
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,040
we're not going to go back to
The Big Bang or beyond that to
69
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,480
whatever came before.
Let's start just with the age of
70
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,680
the earth when we get there.
So as Kundan mentioned,
71
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,080
historical yogic practice
focused on individual salvation
72
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,600
or liberation, and it was all an
individual effort and it didn't
73
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,400
really have an impact on anybody
or anything else specifically.
74
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,920
It wasn't geared towards that.
The integral yoga focuses on the
75
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,520
evolution of consciousness and
the transformations needed to
76
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,680
establish what Shri Aurobindo
calls the next stage of that
77
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,360
evolution, beyond the mental
level that we now experience and
78
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,160
share with each other.
And he called that the supra
79
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:21,360
mental beyond the mind.
So if we look back at the
80
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:29,280
history, first, let's let's
think about for a moment whether
81
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,159
all of this just happens
randomly, whether forms come up.
82
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:38,039
And because the forms develop
somehow, consciousness is
83
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:44,400
created by matter, which has
been a philosophical position
84
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,320
taken by many, many people over
many years.
85
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,320
In fact, there was a theory
called the infinite monkey
86
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,840
theory that said if you give a
monkey infinite time and a
87
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,240
typewriter, they're going to
recreate all of the works of
88
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Shakespeare.
OK.
89
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,800
And that theory actually held
some prevalence because under
90
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:17,000
the laws of random chance that
were held by this segment of
91
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,280
humanity, of course that is
possible.
92
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,840
And if there's infinite numbers
of universes and infinite
93
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,600
possibilities, well, you could
say, OK, it could happen.
94
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,400
Well, actually a few years ago
some scientists and
95
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:39,840
mathematicians in Australia did
some research on that and they
96
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,440
came out with a mathematical
model using the same underlying
97
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,600
mathematics that said that a
monkey could theoretically do
98
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,960
it, but it would take longer
than the lifetime of the entire
99
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,440
universe for that to happen and
therefore it was not a realistic
100
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,080
scenario.
Then they said, well OK, what
101
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,440
happens if we take all 200,000
monkeys that exist on the planet
102
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,400
and put them to work sort of
serially in parallel to each
103
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,760
other?
Could they do it faster?
104
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:25,800
And that also didn't work.
So I think we can put the
105
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,720
infinite monkey theory to bed
finally and understand that
106
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,680
forms do not create
consciousness, but consciousness
107
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:41,160
creates forms.
If we look at it, everything we
108
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,480
see around us, we don't put up
these square boxes with plumbing
109
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280
and electricity and in
everything and then say, oh,
110
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,720
well, maybe we can live in that.
It happens the other way.
111
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,840
We say we need a place to live,
so let's plan for how to create
112
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,800
a space that works for us, for
our bodies and our vital
113
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,920
energies and our needs.
And we build, we design, and
114
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,480
then we build houses.
So form follows function,
115
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,800
planning leads to structure, and
consciousness creates the
116
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:26,560
material forms.
With that background, we follow
117
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:33,400
what trioral window basically
said in in Savitri, and I'll
118
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,960
read a very brief passage here.
This is the sailor on the flow
119
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,600
of time.
This is world matters slow
120
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:49,000
discoverer who launched into
this small corporeal birth, has
121
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,280
learned his craft in tiny bays
of self, but dares at last
122
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:59,920
unplumbed infinitudes, a Voyager
upon eternity's seas.
123
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,280
And so let's voyage with Sri
Aurobindo and this sailor
124
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:15,960
through time.
So going back to the age of the
125
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,640
earth, you could say using
carbon dating and various other
126
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:28,000
techniques, scientists say that
that's about 4.5 billion years
127
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,000
ago.
And if we look at the first
128
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:44,400
evidence of life emerging, it
took 220 million years for the
129
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,600
first signs of life to come out
at 4.28 billion.
130
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Now please excuse me if you
know, I'm taking information
131
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,880
from scientists and there's a
rounding error here of 20 or 30
132
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,200
million years.
That's sort of inconsequential
133
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
in these timelines, so don't
hold me to it.
134
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,480
That exactly at 4.28 billion
years ago, the first signs of
135
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,480
life emerged.
The first signs of
136
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,040
photosynthesis were 3.4 billion
years ago, but it was without
137
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:27,360
oxygen and the first evidence of
life on land was 3.2 billion
138
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:34,880
years ago.
An important step happened 2
139
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,080
billion years ago.
That's 2 1/2 billion years after
140
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,360
the Earth was formed.
There was the development or
141
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,040
what are called eukaryotic
cells.
142
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Eukaryotic cells are cells with
membranes and a complex internal
143
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,320
structure.
And that's important because
144
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:02,440
that becomes the basis of all of
the beings that we later see
145
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,000
emerge.
Plants, fungi, animals,
146
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,760
everything need this kind of
complex cellular structure to
147
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,480
create within each cell energy
activity and various
148
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,800
functionality.
So the eukaryotic cells have
149
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,440
this internal development and
that includes things like
150
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,920
mitochondria, which are the
energy producing organelles,
151
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:41,760
chloroplasts which in plants are
the cells which convert sun
152
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:49,360
energy into their material
energy and their ability to
153
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:56,000
create plant forms and also the
basis for sexual reproduction
154
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,240
eventually.
So eukaryotic cells are
155
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:07,720
extremely important back about a
billion and a half years ago,
156
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:16,040
that's 500 million years after
eukaryotic cells develop, they
157
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:23,400
split into three different forms
that became the ancestors of
158
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
modern plants, animals and
fungi.
159
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:37,600
The first recognizable animals
890,000,000 years ago for the
160
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,600
power of impulsion, because we
always say, well, animals have
161
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,680
the power of impulsion, OK, They
can move under their own motion
162
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:54,360
565,000,000 years ago or
335,000,000 years after the
163
00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:01,200
first recognizable animals.
So plants came on land about
164
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:07,880
515,000,000 years ago, animals
500 million years ago and those
165
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,360
famous dinosaurs 250 million
years ago.
166
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,040
Warm blooded proto mammals
233,000,000 years ago.
167
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,400
The dinosaurs died off
66,000,000 years ago.
168
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Now they were coexistent with
these original mammals, but they
169
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,920
died off entirely with the
asteroid.
170
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,760
And what was the 5th planetary
die off?
171
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,440
And I didn't mention the earlier
planetary die offs because these
172
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,680
were basically still changes
taking place in the earth
173
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:54,600
structure that led to one or
another catastrophic changes in
174
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:01,280
the way life evolved.
The early primates developed
175
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,599
about 55,000,000 years ago, the
higher primates 40 million years
176
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:11,280
ago, and the great ape
diversification 15 to 17,000,000
177
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,359
years ago.
And out of that line of
178
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,839
development of the great apes
between 2 and 2.8 million years
179
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:27,560
ago, the first appearance of the
human genus, the Homo genus
180
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,600
appeared, and that was not
modern man.
181
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:39,200
Modern man, Homo sapiens, I use
that term advisedly, appeared
182
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:45,280
about 300,000 years ago, or
about two million years after
183
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,800
the first human species
appeared, and we still share
184
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,560
98.4% of the genes with the
chimpanzee.
185
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,640
After millions and millions of
years, about 11,000 years ago,
186
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,280
humans came to totally dominate
the planet.
187
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:17,360
And right now we're living
through the 6th mass extinction
188
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:22,720
event, human induced.
And that becomes important
189
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,480
because it provides an impetus
for what needs to happen next,
190
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,560
for the next stage of evolution
to occur and for humanity to
191
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,120
participate in that.
Because we're now in a race
192
00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:41,320
between what you might call love
and death.
193
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,160
Love in the form of the next
evolutionary stage, harmonizing
194
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,040
all of the disharmonies that we
face, and death in the form of
195
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
the six planetary extinction
that can take us with it.
196
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:10,080
So essentially, we're looking at
huge spans of time, and Trioro,
197
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,160
Bindo and the mother talk about
that.
198
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,800
People tend to disregard that.
They say, oh, the Super mental
199
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,640
has been fixed into the
consciousness of the Earth.
200
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,600
And I've heard people talking
about how they're on the way to
201
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,840
being super mentalized
personally.
202
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,680
And I think that's marvelous if
they can do it, But it's not
203
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,720
according to what Trioro Bindo
and the mother have said about
204
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,800
that.
OK.
205
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:46,520
Each major transition that we've
discussed led to changes in
206
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,160
consciousness that could
manifest.
207
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,880
The consciousness needed a new
form in order to hold and
208
00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:02,160
express that next level of
energy, that next level of
209
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,680
awareness and so.
We see that progression with the
210
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,040
timelines, that the times are
enormous and we have to keep
211
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,080
that in mind.
But the line of development is
212
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,520
pretty constant.
And the way these forms
213
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,080
developed, one is through what
you might call mutation, where a
214
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:32,280
former form is simply changed.
And our friend Charles Darwin
215
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,240
tells us that the evolution of
forms happens through survival
216
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,960
of the fittest and reproduction
among those who were the fittest
217
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,440
at that level, etcetera.
But another way that it happens
218
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,240
is through various lines of
development, conscious
219
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:58,960
development that join forces at
various level and become
220
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,320
symbiotic to one another.
Now human beings have become
221
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:10,080
symbiotic to plants.
We expel carbon dioxide which
222
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:15,280
they need to breathe and the
plants expel oxygen which we
223
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,720
need to survive.
So we are symbiotes, you could
224
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,400
say one being with the plants.
But it goes even deeper.
225
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,800
We talked about eukaryotic cells
earlier.
226
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,680
Well, one of the interesting
things that happened is, and I
227
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,800
don't know how deep into
science, everybody is gone, but
228
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,400
this is what I've spent my last
couple of weeks doing.
229
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,800
So you'll have to bear with me a
little bit on this stuff.
230
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,160
The mitochondria, the energy
cells within our cells that
231
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,120
convert nutrients into ATP,
which is the chemical cellular
232
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:59,320
energy that powers every cell in
our body.
233
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:07,480
They do not have human DNA, they
have bacterial DNA.
234
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,680
They are not human cells or cell
organelles.
235
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,440
They're called.
It appears that what happened is
236
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,160
that at some point the line of
development of beings of
237
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,880
bacteria that could convert
nutrients into chemical energy,
238
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,000
which we call mitochondria, were
absorbed into the multicellular
239
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,080
Organism, the eukaryotic cells
that power plants and animals.
240
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:50,120
And instead of dissolving them,
digesting them, we made sort of
241
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:54,800
a treaty with them.
And the treaty is we'll keep you
242
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,120
alive and give you a nice,
comfortable, warm environment to
243
00:22:58,120 --> 00:23:01,440
live in, and you create energy
for us.
244
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,000
Now, scientists say we enslaved
these bacteria to us, but I look
245
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240
at it more as a cooperative
venture.
246
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,640
Very similarly, none of us would
be able to digest any food
247
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,240
whatsoever if we didn't have a
what are called probiotic
248
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,760
bacteria in our intestines.
We have entire colonies of
249
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,320
bacteria that live very
comfortably within us and carry
250
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,400
out much of the digestive
function that we need in order
251
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,840
to have the nutrients that
create our lives.
252
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,240
So we've created another
symbiotic relationship with
253
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:52,160
another species, you could say,
in order to exist.
254
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,640
Interestingly enough, they
recently have announced that
255
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:07,800
there is a sea slug in the ocean
that is able to do
256
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,760
photosynthesis.
This is the first animal they
257
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,600
found that could do
photosynthesis and the way it
258
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,640
happens is these sea slugs eat a
certain amount of the
259
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,920
microscopic plankton or algae
whatever it is in the ocean.
260
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:31,920
And instead of digesting the
chloroplasts, they incorporate
261
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:38,960
them into their eukaryotic cells
and they can go a year without
262
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,640
eating again based on the
photosynthesis that goes on.
263
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:49,360
Now, you may all wonder where
this is going and why we have to
264
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:54,480
go so deep into this, but the
next stage of evolution of
265
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,880
consciousness requires new
forms.
266
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,600
And the mother has made that
very clear.
267
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,160
She's in various places said,
well, maybe in the next stage of
268
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,480
evolution we're not going to
need to eat, or maybe in the
269
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,880
next stage of evolution there
won't be sexual reproduction.
270
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,240
In other words, there are
different ways that this can
271
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,640
happen.
Now, one of those ways is that
272
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,760
genes that we have within us
right now that are turned off
273
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,040
might be turned on.
And for example, there are
274
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,320
animals out there that can
regrow limbs when their limbs
275
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,560
have been cut off and their stem
cells go to work.
276
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,280
They know just what to do and
they recreate that limb.
277
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Well, those very same genes
exist within us, but we're not
278
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,800
using them.
And so when we lose a limb, it's
279
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,360
just we lost a limb and someone
goes out and creates one out of
280
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,000
metal or plastic or whatever
they do and attaches it to you
281
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200
and in hopes that you can do
something with that.
282
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:14,040
But we also see these symbiotic
relationships develop, and it
283
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,080
may be that one of them might be
that we incorporate something
284
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,200
like photosynthesis into
ourselves, just like we
285
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:29,160
incorporated bacteria to run the
cellular energy or bacteria to
286
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:35,760
run the digestive system.
So if we could do photosynthesis
287
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,800
and convert energy directly from
the sun, we wouldn't need to
288
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,360
eat.
Now, there's another way, and
289
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,080
that is that people have been
studying for many years the
290
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,280
movement of energy through what
we call the chakras, the energy
291
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,280
centers, the the subtle energy
centers.
292
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,440
And if we can learn how to open
those chakras and absorb energy
293
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,400
directly, we may not need
photosynthesis and we may not
294
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,200
need anything else.
We may become energy beings.
295
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Now this is all speculation, but
it's speculation with a purpose,
296
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:24,680
and that is that it is to push
us out of our normal everyday
297
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,120
way of looking at the world from
our own individual egoistic,
298
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:36,960
limited viewpoint and lifetimes.
Because evolution doesn't take
299
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,560
place within the span of one
human's life.
300
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,320
Everything we've talked about
took 10's and hundreds or
301
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:53,600
billions of years to occur.
And so to say we're going to
302
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:59,400
practice this yoga and become
super mentalized overnight is
303
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,080
not realistic, nor is it what
Trioro, Bindo and the mother
304
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:11,200
have to say about it.
So we are in a race with time
305
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,480
right now, and Trior Bindo gave
us an answer.
306
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:26,200
We human beings, as part of the
evolution, the manifestation,
307
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:33,680
the unfolding of the universal
creation, are now at a stage
308
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,120
where we can begin to
consciously participate in that
309
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,000
evolutionary process.
Up until now, the process was
310
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,960
driving itself through the
Divine's impulsion, through
311
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160
forms that were not
self-conscious.
312
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Now the Divine is driving that
process through forms that can
313
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:02,600
be self-conscious.
And by doing that we can begin
314
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,600
to consciously participate and
support that movement.
315
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,440
And as Rio Robindo has
mentioned, that means that we
316
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:22,800
could speed up the evolution.
Now, when you talk about
317
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:29,600
speeding up the evolution, they
don't talk in terms of, I don't
318
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,440
know, 50 years, 10 years, 20
years, OK?
319
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,320
They talk about hundreds of
years, maybe thousands of years,
320
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,040
which in itself would be
considered a miracle from the
321
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,640
side of the evolution of the
divine manifestation.
322
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,600
And the the real issue we
continually run into is we
323
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:04,280
believe that the world revolves
around us.
324
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,960
It's our yoga.
It's our realization, it's our
325
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,520
health, it's our Wellness, it's
our recognition of things, it's
326
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:20,400
our liberation.
But in reality, we are elements
327
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:27,800
of that larger evolutionary
process and we can't look at it
328
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,320
in terms of one individual
achieving realization.
329
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,480
We need to look at it in terms
of, and I like to use the
330
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,280
example of a relay race.
OK, you've got four people
331
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:49,640
running a relay race and they
run around the track and carry a
332
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,840
baton and then they give it to
the next person.
333
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,200
They carry the baton, the next
person carries the baton and
334
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,800
it's only the 4th person,
whoever reaches the finish line.
335
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,240
All the other three were
essential to the process of
336
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,720
reaching the finish line, but
they never get to see the finish
337
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,160
line.
All they did was carry the baton
338
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,880
for a while and move the process
forward.
339
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,720
And if we shift out of our own
egoistic personalities for a
340
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:31,000
moment and look at it from this
wider perspective of the
341
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,040
consciousness of time and
evolution, which is why we spent
342
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,520
so much time earlier going
through all those steps.
343
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:46,000
I left out a few, but
essentially, we are just
344
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,120
carrying the baton forward and
we may or may not even have
345
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,280
realizations.
Each one of us has a role to
346
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,240
play.
As Kundan mentioned at the
347
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:05,160
beginning, it's important.
And it's important because in
348
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,720
order for the next stage of
evolution to develop, there has
349
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:15,840
to be both a texturing of
consciousness in general among
350
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:21,560
humanity and a change and
updating of the forms that can
351
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,680
hold and manifest that new level
of consciousness.
352
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:32,520
And a receptivity to that energy
which is manifesting doesn't
353
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,840
come from us, it comes from the
divine.
354
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,560
So with that in mind, let's look
at what Trioro Bindo and the
355
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,720
Mother have to say.
And I'm going to read it just a
356
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,160
few quotes here from letters on
Yoga.
357
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,840
Trioro Bindo states it would not
be possible to change all that
358
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,960
the ordinary life on earth in a
moment.
359
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,800
We have always said that the
whole of humanity will not
360
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,120
change the moment there is the
descent.
361
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,240
But what can be done is to
establish the higher principle
362
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,240
in the earth consciousness in
such a way that it will remain
363
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,680
and go on strengthening and
spreading itself in the earth
364
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,280
life.
That is how a new principle in
365
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,920
the evolutionary must
necessarily work.
366
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,520
But what we propose just now is
not to make the earth a super
367
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:30,000
mental world, but to bring down
the Super mental as a power and
368
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,800
establish consciousness in the
midst of the rest, to let it
369
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,520
work there and fulfill itself as
mind descended into life and
370
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,480
matter and has worked as a power
there to fulfill itself in the
371
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,880
midst of the rest.
This will be enough to change
372
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,880
the world and to change nature
by breaking down her present
373
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:59,440
limits.
So the descent of the Super mind
374
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,080
is not intended to create a
patent universal medicine or
375
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,080
change everything in the twinkle
of an eye.
376
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,600
It isn't going to happen, the
mother emphasized.
377
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:14,320
The manifestation of the Super
mental upon earth is no more a
378
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,880
promise, but a living fact, a
reality.
379
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,960
It is at work here, and one day
will come when the most blind,
380
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,600
the most unconscious, even the
most unwilling shall be obliged
381
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,960
to recognize it.
And she continues.
382
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,639
This great change is the
appearance upon earth of a new
383
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,800
race, which will be for man what
man is for the animal.
384
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,280
The consciousness of this new
race is already at work upon
385
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,920
Earth to enlighten all who are
able to receive it and heed it.
386
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,000
Now let's say this we're we have
a short lifetime.
387
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,760
We're very impatient.
We want realizations.
388
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,040
We want to have our own
liberation.
389
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:07,960
We want to have experiences.
But some people get that.
390
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,240
Many people get that because
that's their role.
391
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:20,120
But what about those who are
here because some element of
392
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:27,040
human life, some element that is
blocking and obstructing this
393
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,000
energy simply needs to be worked
out.
394
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:36,000
Now they have this famous
apocryphal story that Thomas
395
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Edison had to fail 1000 times
making light bulbs until he got
396
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:46,080
one to work.
What if one of us is here to
397
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:51,080
overcome a certain force of
desire or a certain limit of the
398
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,520
ego, and we never, ever see an
experience because we're failing
399
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,320
and failing and failing and
failing, but moving the baton
400
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:06,920
around the track so that the
next generation can pick it up
401
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,080
and have a basis for it.
It's almost like your monkey #22
402
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,160
or #85 in the 100th monkey
theory.
403
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,440
OK, nobody recognizes that.
No one knows anything special
404
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,640
has happened.
But after that 100th monkey
405
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,920
happens and there's enough
texturing of the consciousness,
406
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,560
things can change and suddenly
it becomes a power of all of
407
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,440
humanity.
And So what we're called upon to
408
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:48,080
do, the individual destiny, is
to move beyond our limit within
409
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:59,080
the ego, move beyond our desired
ambition to realize, but to try
410
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:05,160
to do whatever we're called upon
within our hearts as devotees,
411
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:11,640
as awakened human beings, as
aspirants for something greater.
412
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:17,280
Do what we're called upon to do
and face all of those obstacles
413
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:25,520
and difficulties and issues and
concerns, whether or not we get
414
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,160
recognized for it, whether we
recognize it within ourselves.
415
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:36,000
We need to keep on keeping on
and do it if we can, cheerfully,
416
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:43,600
in spite of the difficulties and
the obstacles, and we become the
417
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:49,320
forerunners of that new race.
Well, not necessarily
418
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,520
participating in that in our
lifetimes, because after all,
419
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:02,360
you know, what's 1000 years in
the lifetime of the planet, as
420
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,520
we saw, it's not even a rounding
error. 20 million years is a
421
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,200
rounding error.
And for this to happen quickly,
422
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,440
we need to do a couple things.
One is we need to make
423
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,160
sufficient changes that we don't
destroy ourselves in the
424
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,720
interim.
And secondly, we need to keep
425
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:30,560
the aspiration alive and growing
and radiating within us and
426
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:38,040
around us so that we create the
texture and the opportunity for
427
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,360
that higher consciousness, that
super mental force which is
428
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:51,240
active on the planet to take
hold, to disseminate itself and
429
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:58,600
to create the holistic view and
the harmony that it is here to
430
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,720
resolve.
To overcome all of the
431
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:06,640
limitations and gridlock if you
will, That the mental
432
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,960
consciousness is created to
overcome the forces of the mind
433
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:17,040
that have LED us to our 6th
planetary extinction event
434
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:24,480
happening right now.
So in Savitri, Shrioro Bindo
435
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,040
inspires us with his vision of
the role of the individual and
436
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:35,240
the transformation process.
I saw the omnipotence, flaming
437
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:41,040
pioneers over the heavenly verge
which turns towards life, come
438
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:46,960
crowding down the amber stairs
of birth, forerunners of a
439
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,600
divine multitude out of the
paths of the morning star they
440
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,320
came into the little room of
mortal life.
441
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,200
I saw them cross the twilight of
an age, the sun eyed children of
442
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,280
a marvellous dawn, the great
creators with wide brows of
443
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,200
calm.
The massive barrier Breakers of
444
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,400
the world and wrestlers with
destiny in her lists of will.
445
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:21,560
The laborers in the quarries of
the gods, the messengers of the
446
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,520
incommunicable, the architects
of immortality.
447
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,560
Into the fallen human sphere
they came.
448
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,960
Faces that wore the immortals
glory still, voices that commune
449
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,680
still with the thoughts of God.
Bodies made beautiful by the
450
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,560
spirit's light carrying the
magic word, the Mystic fire
451
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,200
carrying the Dionysian cup of
joy approaching eyes of a
452
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,560
diviner man, lips chanting an
unknown anthem of the soul.
453
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,320
Feet echoing in the corridors of
time.
454
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,720
High priests of wisdom,
sweetness, might and bliss,
455
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,320
Discoverers of beauty, sunlit
ways and swimmers of Love's
456
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,080
laughing.
Fiery floods and dancers within
457
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,200
raptures.
Golden doors their tread one day
458
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,560
shall change the suffering earth
and justify the light on
459
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:48,480
nature's face.
Thank you, Santosh, so much to
460
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:55,360
absorb and thank you for taking
us on the journey of evolution
461
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:03,200
and talking about, you know, our
not only our existence, but even
462
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:11,400
our evolution needs to be
symbiotic and what has been done
463
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:16,360
earlier needs to be incorporated
so that we can develop further.
464
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,840
And this is very evident in how
the organisms have responded to
465
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:28,200
evolution in the past that, you
know, gave us a lot of evidence
466
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,440
for your persuasion.
I hope you are turning this into
467
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:36,800
a book, you know, which is,
which is absolutely fun,
468
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:44,680
beautiful in the sense that, you
know, it challenges the dominant
469
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:50,520
evolutionary theory of Darwin,
which is the survival of the
470
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,640
fittest.
And I personally feel that the
471
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,200
survival of the fittest can only
cause conflicts and disharmony
472
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,840
in the world.
And that's not a very good place
473
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,520
to be.
So, you know, the same data can
474
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,600
actually be interpreted from a
different theoretical framework,
475
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,920
which can be beautiful for the
humanity.
476
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,040
It's not, it's not the survival
of the fittest, but it is a some
477
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,800
a symbiotic association and
relationship amongst organisms
478
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:29,160
which has caused our evolution.
It is evident from what has
479
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:36,040
transpired in the in the past.
So as we dwell on this beautiful
480
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:41,400
topic, I want to open the floor
for others to come in, make
481
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,600
their comments and pose
questions if they have any.
482
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,560
Yes, Arunjit, please.
Hi Santosh, it was an excellent
483
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,720
talk.
I enjoyed your description of
484
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:59,560
the evolution and a lot of the
scientific facts.
485
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,360
While you were talking, I was
remembering an author I don't
486
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,240
know how many people know here.
His name is Peter Russell.
487
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,840
He has written the Physicist.
I think in the 90s he wrote a
488
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,800
book called Global Brain
Awakens.
489
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,200
I read that long back.
I think I still have a copy.
490
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,280
So in that he connects with some
of the facts you were telling in
491
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,160
the beginning, then looking at
all the living beings and living
492
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,200
organisms.
And if you look at the earth,
493
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:37,600
earth itself is a living
Organism because it knows how to
494
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,120
men obtain the percentage of
oxygen at a constant level, but
495
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,600
to support the life and in a way
self sustain.
496
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,960
So from that point he develops
and then the whole solar system
497
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,800
is a living Organism, whole
universe is a living Organism.
498
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,920
And he connects that with
Upanishadic statements.
499
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,840
In fact he he is he is one of
the book is translated
500
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,960
Upanishads also with somebody
else.
501
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:10,440
So that is an interesting
development in terms of
502
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:15,520
evolution there.
One more, the question I was
503
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:21,600
asking is when we look at the
global warming and the facts you
504
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:28,400
mentioned about reduction in
biodiversity, it looks like it
505
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,760
is, it is engendered by human
activities.
506
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,960
So in that respect, it looks
like the collective
507
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,000
consciousness is coming down
because humanity as a whole is
508
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:46,400
not able to look at those facts
or look able to maintain the
509
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,880
biodiversity which is created by
nature in billions of years.
510
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,520
So with that fact, when in that
book Global Brain Awakens, Peter
511
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,080
Rosa shows a chart that if you
look at humanity in the last 50
512
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,480
years, there's a chart in the
last 25 years, the consciousness
513
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,880
level is rising very fast.
I was wondering, is that really
514
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,880
true?
Because the way things are
515
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:16,480
happening last 50 years at least
global warming and you know,
516
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,480
reduction of biodiversity is
going the opposite direction.
517
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,720
So what do you comment on that?
Well, you know, last night I
518
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:26,840
looked out the window and I saw
the moon.
519
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,120
I said, oh, the moon is half
full.
520
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,000
And my wife said, why did you
say it was half full and not
521
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,880
half empty?
I said, because I'm an optimist.
522
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:46,680
So looking at it this way every,
I mean, let let's start from our
523
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,760
own lives.
If everything is wonderful and
524
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,840
peaceful and joyful, we tend to
sit back and relax and enjoy it
525
00:46:54,840 --> 00:47:00,080
and say, well, that's cool, OK.
It's only when we're put under
526
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,960
stress of having to deal with a
situation that we Marshall our
527
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,720
resources, focus the
consciousness and take steps to
528
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:13,640
fix it.
So the mental evolution has its
529
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:18,680
benefits up to a certain point,
and when it reaches a certain
530
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:24,200
stage, it reaches its own
limits, its limitations, and you
531
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,560
get to what we call gridlock,
where nothing can move and no
532
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,760
solutions can come out.
And we're stuck in all the
533
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,080
problems we've created with our
unintended consequences.
534
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:46,160
That becomes, to me a sign of
the crisis that humanity needs
535
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,240
to now solve.
And if it wasn't for that
536
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:54,560
crisis, we would not be taking
the steps that we're taking, and
537
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,160
we wouldn't take them as
effectively and as urgently as
538
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,360
we're going to take them, as we
are taking them.
539
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,400
So to me, this is part of the
process.
540
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,800
Sri Aurobindo talks about the
thesis and the antithesis
541
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,680
leading to a new synthesis.
And so if the thesis is the mind
542
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,840
and the antithesis is the
gridlock and limitations of the
543
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:25,880
mind, the synthesis is to
develop a new super observer, if
544
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,040
you will.
I used this example recently
545
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:32,640
with someone and it went right
into their brains.
546
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,800
I said there's a famous
experiment about 5 different
547
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,960
people who observe an automobile
accident from different angles
548
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,920
and they all have different
stories what caused it, how it
549
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,600
happened, whatever.
And I said they're all going to
550
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,440
argue with each other.
However, there's that sixth
551
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,400
person who's sitting six stories
up in a building observing the
552
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,960
five observers and the accident,
who can integrate the positions
553
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,400
of the other five and find the
solution as to what caused the
554
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,360
accident, because they can see
it from a different, totally
555
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,520
different, higher perspective.
So when humanity reaches
556
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,520
gridlock, when we reach this
stage where everything we're
557
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:25,240
doing is destroying that
biodiversity, it's really time
558
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,720
for a new consciousness and a
focus and an urgency towards a
559
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:34,040
new consciousness to come out.
Now, as I said at the beginning,
560
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,920
I'm an optimist.
There are pessimists who just
561
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,280
say we're going to destroy
ourselves and it's all going to
562
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:45,920
just go away and we'll have to
wait for the next incarnation of
563
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:52,000
the next Yuga to bring forward a
new civilization and start all
564
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,520
over again.
Well, that's what a pessimist
565
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:01,120
might say, but I'm an optimist.
Yeah, thank you.
566
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,200
Yeah, I think just at the the
biodiversity reduction, it is
567
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,520
mind boggling.
I think every I forget the
568
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,600
number every day something a
thousands of species are gone
569
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,760
every day.
And some of that may be the
570
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,840
intended process of nature and
some of that may be because
571
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,120
there has always been a certain
amount of that.
572
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:29,920
And some of that may be
resulting from human caused
573
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,960
changes.
And we need to then adapt to
574
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,800
that and find out what the next
phase is.
575
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,560
I mean, are we intended to be
pure energy beings and not have
576
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,320
a food chain under us?
And maybe all these animals that
577
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,320
provided a food chain and all
these plants that provided a
578
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,640
food chain are totally
unnecessary and we're going to
579
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,360
go into becoming pure energy?
Well, OK, well, maybe that's
580
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,160
some people would say that's
where we're heading.
581
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,240
I don't quite believe that, but
who knows?
582
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:09,960
You know, we can all speculate.
I want to bring in an important
583
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:17,520
piece of information here.
You know, people who follow yoga
584
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:22,400
of of any kind, you know, have
this understanding that the
585
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:28,400
yogi's, the genuine ones that
is, develop the capacity to look
586
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,040
into the past, present and the
future simultaneously.
587
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:38,600
The Mother and Sherbinder
definitely have that capacity.
588
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:45,960
And in terms of world affairs,
Sri Arvinder has made certain
589
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,400
predictions.
You know, in fact, during the
590
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,880
Second World War, as he was
holding discussions with his
591
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,360
disciples, he would make some
immediate predictions and they
592
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,520
came true.
So one of his predictions is
593
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,000
that there would be a Third
World War.
594
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:10,840
And in that Third World War, you
know, there would be an axis of
595
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:18,000
communist China with some
Islamic nations who would attack
596
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,520
India.
And it seems that, you know,
597
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,680
that things are sort of
unfolding in that direction.
598
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,800
Now.
This was just a prelude to what
599
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,920
I want to say.
Now.
600
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,880
There is a particular text, you
know, which was written about
601
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:46,840
600 years ago by some
practitioners in Puri who have
602
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:53,480
spoken about certain world
events that would begin to
603
00:52:53,480 --> 00:53:00,760
unfold after 29th March 2005,
2025.
604
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:09,520
And these have been captured in
the text called Bhavishya
605
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,800
Mallika Puran.
You know it's one of the Puranas
606
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:18,760
and Bhavishya basically means
the future amongst many things.
607
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,480
What has been what what has been
predicted is that all the five
608
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:33,000
elements of the nature for the
next 6-7 years would become
609
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:39,240
very, very active and they would
cause destruction in the world.
610
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,240
We are seeing, you know, these
wildfires already.
611
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:51,040
We are seeing storms, you know,
where none occurred before.
612
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,080
We are seeing floods where none
occurred before.
613
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:05,720
So, you know, as per this text,
there's a transition, a massive
614
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:09,680
1 at that, which is in the
process.
615
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,440
Maybe, you know, this is one of
the ways in which the nature is
616
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:21,720
going to set things right.
And interestingly, this text
617
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:25,360
also talks about the Third World
War.
618
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:34,000
It has named countries which
certainly did not exist, you
619
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,440
know, 600 years ago.
It's pretty fascinating.
620
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:47,240
So, you know, the the reason why
I brought this into the mix is
621
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:57,600
because the text also says that
the people who would have a good
622
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:04,560
spiritual practice would
transition to the next phase in
623
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:10,960
evolution.
So let's watch out for these
624
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,240
seven years.
And you know, and I have been
625
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:20,600
observing data in terms of those
predictions and the predictions
626
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,920
are coming true.
Actually they are unfolding.
627
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,200
So there is this consistency
between the predictions and what
628
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:33,440
has been unfolding since the
29th of March 2025.
629
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:39,760
Well, that's fascinating, Yeah.
And you know the passage that I
630
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:46,560
read at the end from Savitri,
the preface to that is a giant
631
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,680
dance of Shiva tore the past.
There was a Thunder as of worlds
632
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,600
that fall.
Earth was or run with fire and
633
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,880
the roar of death clamoring to
slay a world his hunger had
634
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,000
made.
There was a clangor of
635
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,400
destructions wings.
The Titans battle cry was in my
636
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,200
ears.
Alarm and rumor shook the
637
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:12,640
armored knight.
And then I saw the omnipotence
638
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:18,760
flaming pioneers.
So there is some precedence for
639
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:24,600
what you're saying in in Savitri
as well, that these things are
640
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,440
part of the necessary pressure
because we don't change
641
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,440
historically, we don't change
without pressure.
642
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:42,320
Yeah, sorry.
I see that your hand is up.
643
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,840
Please come in.
Yeah.
644
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,920
Well, first in regard to what
you just said, Kundan and
645
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:57,440
Santosh's first description of
the periods of time 1 can't help
646
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:05,120
but note that each subsequent
change came in a very, very much
647
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:09,760
shorter period.
So we need to keep that in mind
648
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:17,360
as we show patience.
But but my, my, my question went
649
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:22,480
to well, in your Savitri quote,
there was God's laborers read
650
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,200
that we are God's laborers or
divine laborers.
651
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:33,600
And we, we need in addition to
working for realizations to
652
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:38,600
understand all this, the these
processes.
653
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,400
I, I feel that our
responsibility is to take action
654
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:48,320
in this world.
That person up on the 5th floor
655
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:54,040
observing it, it wouldn't mean
anything unless he utilized it
656
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,800
in some way, unless he, he acted
in, in the, in the world.
657
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:06,160
So there's a lot of tremendous
amount of Thomas and in, in the
658
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,480
inertia in, in, in our actions
in the world.
659
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:16,440
We, as so many of us stand by
and, and and watch.
660
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,440
So would would you in this
context of, of your talk, could
661
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:28,440
you speak to our responsibility
for action, taking action in
662
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:33,920
this world with discernment, of
course, but as best we can, but,
663
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,000
but we need to act to, to, to
make things happen.
664
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,680
You know, participating in,
well, this, this group is an
665
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:48,480
exception, but for participating
in study groups and, and, and
666
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:52,840
talking about things all the
time and, and going on to the
667
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,760
next study group without acting
in the world.
668
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:02,080
And is, is doesn't seem like
enough or it isn't enough.
669
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,520
So would you could you speak to
what I'm trying to get at here?
670
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:13,120
Sure, you know I've I've never
been known for being inactive
671
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,320
so.
I guess you could.
672
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:23,680
But actually, I take a somewhat
nuanced view of this, if you
673
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,080
will.
If somebody is called upon
674
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,920
because you know, there's,
there's like 8 billion people on
675
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:35,120
the planet, everybody is called
upon to do different things.
676
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,600
We're not all called upon to do
the same things all the time.
677
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:45,040
So some people, if they're able
to become inwardly receptive to
678
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:50,760
change the energetic flow, to
overcome certain forces of ego
679
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:57,440
and desire within themselves and
to radiate that force out, that
680
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:03,080
may be more valuable to help
texture the consciousness and
681
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,880
create the change.
Then someone going out and
682
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,640
running a food kitchen or
helping sick people or whatever,
683
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:15,400
which all needs to get done.
But within the context that I
684
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,520
think in one of his aphorisms,
Sri Aurobindo pointed out that
685
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,520
the French Revolution occurred
because a Yogi in the Himalayas
686
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,320
in a cave was meditating on
freedom.
687
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:33,880
And so action needs to be seen
as possibly being very subtle.
688
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:39,000
And I, I try not to judge people
based on their outward form of
689
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,000
action, but on really let them
do what they need to do, what
690
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,320
they're moved to do, what baton
they're meant to carry in that
691
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,200
relay race, whether or not
they're out there invisible and,
692
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:58,480
and doing something that we
think is from our viewpoint
693
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,240
essential.
So there's both.
694
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,000
And hopefully there's plenty of
volunteers to do each of those
695
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,680
steps so that they all get done.
Yes.
696
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,880
And and that's that's why I use
the word discernment because we,
697
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,680
we each have to try to do our
best to discern what we are
698
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,280
called to do, what our, what
our, what our task is.
699
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:28,040
And of course, that's that's the
big, the big challenge we we
700
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,040
face That's that's the task.
Yeah, thank you.
701
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,240
If.
I may add, you know, to this
702
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:40,280
ongoing conversation.
I also feel that apart from Ego
703
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:47,560
and Thomas, the kind of yoga
that we are invited to do
704
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:58,200
experiences a lot of hostility
to truth, you know, and I am
705
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:03,480
getting to realize that the only
way to defeat those forces is by
706
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:10,880
increasing the quality of our
own yoga, because those forces
707
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,640
are very, very strong.
You know, I have, I have
708
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,120
experienced them quite
extensively, you know, because
709
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:24,960
my area of transition or
transformation, if you will, you
710
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:31,040
know, has been India and you
know, for, for, for, for the
711
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,480
last thousand years or so, the
kind of void that was created in
712
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,320
India because of external
forces.
713
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:45,560
There has been a massive
suction, you know, of hostile
714
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:52,280
forces, you know, to, to the to
the civilization, to, to its
715
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,000
original civilization, if you
will.
716
01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:02,040
And in order to transform all of
that, you know, I personally
717
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:07,160
feel that it requires, it
requires very sophisticated yoga
718
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:13,240
on my part.
And so, you know, the focus come
719
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,240
keeps coming back to me.
You know, if I'm able to raise
720
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,840
my own yoga, maybe I will be
able to deal with those with
721
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,800
those forces.
But if I don't do that, you
722
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:27,960
know, those forces will prevail.
I wish, you know, we're just ego
723
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,520
And Thomas, you know, they're,
they're forces far more
724
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:36,120
sinister.
So yes, Margaret, you know.
725
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,120
I'm going to be following up
something that you were saying
726
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:47,840
there, Kunda.
This would it came from the Sri
727
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:55,720
Rabindo society, but it was a
discussion about equanimity and
728
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:00,040
Sri Rabindo was saying kind of
along what you were saying,
729
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:05,600
Santosh, that with equanimity
it's, you know, very important
730
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,800
to have equanimity.
But is that enough, right.
731
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:16,480
And he was saying bringing in,
of course, the Gita, where it's
732
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:22,960
clear that it is one must fight
the forces.
733
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,000
And you were talking about this
Kundan, those forces.
734
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:31,400
And Andrew Rabinow says
something like the forces that
735
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:37,640
would darken or or obliterate
the truth or hurt the children
736
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,480
of light.
He's very direct, very similar
737
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:49,240
to what you're saying, Kundan.
And so again, it is nuanced, but
738
01:04:49,240 --> 01:05:00,480
it's also being clear eyed about
what our mission is, that is to
739
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:05,920
serve the truth or to radiate
and support the forces of truth.
740
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:10,040
So anyway, it's interesting that
we're coming all coming at this
741
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:24,160
and saying very similar things.
Yes, Finchman, you're you're on
742
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:25,600
mute.
Please unmute yourself.
743
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,960
Please unmute yourself.
Yes, thank you.
744
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,840
Thank you.
Yeah, I'm a new face here.
745
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,720
Welcome.
I'm glad that you have started
746
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,080
joining us.
Yeah.
747
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,600
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate this group
748
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:50,880
and actually I graduated with my
PhD in East West psychology
749
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,640
about 2-3 years ago.
And then actually I'm writing a
750
01:05:55,520 --> 01:06:01,480
book in Mandarin and I talk
about the integral yoga
751
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:09,600
psychology and I use the so
we're about talk about the
752
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:18,040
centric concentric conscious
system and a vertical system and
753
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,160
a triple transformation.
Yeah, I use this totality of
754
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:27,560
human consciousness as the
theoretical foundation for the
755
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,440
inner child work, actual
actualizing our essential child.
756
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:38,560
So because I read the ceramic
talk about the natural attitude
757
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:43,360
on the psychical being, is it to
fear itself as a child, the son
758
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:48,240
of the God and the bhakti, it is
a portion of the divine one in
759
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:52,800
essence.
So I just put it, you say that
760
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:58,400
the inner child work to
actualize our descent child.
761
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:04,760
So to today's lecture, I would
like to get some feedback to see
762
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,040
if I understand it right.
I heard that talk about the
763
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:21,480
symbolic symbiotic relationship
and can we look at the from the
764
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:26,960
central being to two being and
the inner being?
765
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:32,560
Outer being is the different
different portion of our
766
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:40,120
consciousness which is in the
unity of the oneness of the of
767
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,560
our consciousness.
And all these different portions
768
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:54,000
are in the symbiotic
relationship with each other
769
01:07:54,840 --> 01:08:01,560
because if the form is the
manifestation of the
770
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:11,200
formlessness, so and so the
individual psychic being and or
771
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:17,960
child in a child is an
expression manifestation of the
772
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,040
original measure.
Yeah.
773
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:29,640
And the if the physical vital
and mental being and the
774
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:37,319
spiritual aspect of us, they are
also symbiotic relationship with
775
01:08:37,319 --> 01:08:42,319
each other as one is of the
consciousness.
776
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:49,439
And because I create some
guiding meditation in Mandarin,
777
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:52,760
for sure, I'm not so competent
with my English.
778
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,399
That's why I'm when I'm talking,
I'll be able to be stressed.
779
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:02,600
Yeah, so and I created some
guiding meditation in Mandarin
780
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:16,319
to to guiding from the our
original matter and connecting
781
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:23,160
with our essential child and the
vulnerable child and our
782
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:27,120
protective child, which is our
outer personality for sure.
783
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:38,160
So when I create this is I'm the
the intention for me is to try
784
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:45,880
to create the connection in
between our different parts of
785
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:52,399
consciousness and create the
linkage and Harmons, harmonies,
786
01:09:52,960 --> 01:10:01,000
harmony, Harmon harmony in US.
So I would like to get her to be
787
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:06,160
feedback because I cannot find
any because that's right in
788
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,600
Mandarin.
And I don't know where I can get
789
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:14,920
a support to make sure what I'm
doing is in the in the direction
790
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:20,200
which match to the through
indoor teaching.
791
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:22,680
Yeah.
Yeah, Santosh, please.
792
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:28,600
Well, thank you.
I'm very appreciative of what
793
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:33,800
you're trying to do.
And the idea you bring in that
794
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,280
the different parts of the
being, the physical, the vital,
795
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:42,840
the mental and the spiritual are
symbiotic to one another is, you
796
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,760
know, a very interesting
paradigm.
797
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:51,400
Because they each have their own
framework of how they function
798
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:55,120
and what they do.
And each of them has to be
799
01:10:55,120 --> 01:11:01,160
adapted when the next phase
becomes active because they need
800
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:05,080
to find how to live together, so
to be, so to speak, in one
801
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,040
being.
And that's that symbiotic
802
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,120
relationship.
And it's more or less what we
803
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,760
were talking about.
When the new phase of
804
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:18,760
consciousness comes in, it needs
to make adjustments to the
805
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:25,080
physical, the vital, and the
mental beings so that it can
806
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:30,600
take hold and radiate and bring
a new level of harmony and
807
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:35,440
integration into these different
parts that right now are not
808
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,200
functioning well together in
certain ways.
809
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:44,680
So I like your paradigm and I
hope you keep developing this.
810
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:52,240
I know it's difficult to do this
in English for you, but I think
811
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,840
I picked up what you were trying
to say and I very much
812
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,920
appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
813
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:05,200
And I would like to say that I,
I use this model in the in the
814
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:11,000
work because I'm working with
people in in China or in Taiwan.
815
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,240
Now I don't have many clients
yet because I still focus on
816
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:21,760
writing, but I I do some do some
work and. 11 very good resource
817
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:27,640
for you would be this
compilation by Doctor AES de Lal
818
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:34,400
called our many selves.
You know, so these different
819
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,480
aspects that you were talking
about, these different aspects
820
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:42,880
of the outer personalities, how
they can be integrated around
821
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:47,040
the central being, you know,
which is the psychic being is
822
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:52,280
very beautifully explicated, you
know, in in that collection our
823
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,440
many selves.
Our.
824
01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:59,400
Many and if you want to.
Get if you want to get access to
825
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:04,080
that.
The blog that we do daily that
826
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:11,560
Kundan gave in the announcement
has a folder called Our Many
827
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:18,120
Selves and we went page by page
through that book with the
828
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:22,640
citations from each page and a
discussion about it.
829
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,040
So it's available to you free of
charge just to go out there.
830
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,760
Of course it's in English, but
some of the translation engines
831
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:37,240
may help you.
I did some work with ChatGPT and
832
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:41,840
it's not perfect, but it's
better than not having a
833
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:46,480
translation at all so.
I can read the English no
834
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:50,000
problem, It's just like time for
me to write and to follow.
835
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:51,760
Up, of course.
Yeah.
836
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,120
Well, if you go out to the blog,
Sri
837
01:13:56,120 --> 01:14:02,520
orobindostudies.wordpress.com,
on the right side there are a
838
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,720
number of folders for different
books that we've done the study
839
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,880
on.
And one of those is our Many
840
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,600
Cells by the compilation by
Doctor Dalal from Srioro Bindu
841
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,960
and the Mother's Works.
And every page of that book is
842
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,880
set forth day after day with a
commentary.
843
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,520
So it's available to you
wherever you are.
844
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:28,520
OK.
Sure.
845
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,840
Very good, Very good.
Thank you so much.
846
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:35,200
Yeah.
You're welcome.
847
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,640
You're welcome.
More comments, Questions.
848
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:48,600
So I have one more question.
The so like what I'm I'm I'm
849
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,880
doing to create a linkage
between different parts of
850
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:59,480
consciousness.
I look at it in a way is to
851
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:11,840
integrate the concentric system,
another vertical system, and I
852
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,920
mean psychical transformation
and a spiritual transformation
853
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:22,960
and the Super mental
transformation because the most
854
01:15:23,480 --> 01:15:28,880
the most center is I use the the
original matter, the source of
855
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:34,200
our life and I interpreted it as
the father serial original talk
856
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:39,320
about the define matter.
It's the the origin of our life
857
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,640
and so it's kind of bringing the
use our mental.
858
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,280
It's still in a mental plan, I
understand, but we we exercise
859
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:57,760
our mental plan plan to to
awaken our super mental
860
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:02,200
consciousness and bring into
connection with the the
861
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:04,760
different parts of our
consciousness.
862
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:11,320
So it's a can I look at it as a
a part of the Super mental
863
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,640
transformation?
Yeah, Santosh.
864
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,960
Yes.
So I, I think the approach
865
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,160
you're taking is obviously
helpful in what you're doing.
866
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:31,960
The new energy that has fixed
itself into the earth
867
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:37,120
consciousness, the Super mental
force is slowly working or
868
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,480
quickly working if you will.
And it's so you, you might call
869
01:16:41,480 --> 01:16:51,120
geographic time scale, not human
time scale, to modify to, in
870
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:56,520
integrate and to harmonize the
mental, the vital and the
871
01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:02,600
physical levels so that they can
hold that force and express that
872
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,960
force.
It's a, it's a harmonizing
873
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,760
process like you're talking
about.
874
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:13,760
And so anything that's done to
widen the mental being and the
875
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:20,320
vital and physical being, to
accept a new energy, a new
876
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:25,520
force, a new understanding, and
to find a way to harmonize its
877
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:31,520
action is very helpful.
If you know, if I may add to
878
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:37,880
this, I actually teach a course
on Shirvinder's Integral Yoga at
879
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,400
Sofia University and one of the
books that I use for this
880
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:46,440
purpose is this compilation by
Doctor Dalal called The Greater
881
01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:50,120
Psychology.
Now, if there's one area, you
882
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,640
know, where I do not agree with
him and I personally feel that,
883
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:58,200
you know that he makes my work
very difficulties by
884
01:17:58,440 --> 01:18:04,200
representing these planes, you
know, in A2 dimensional and
885
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:08,960
three-dimensional manner.
The the mother has spoken on
886
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:12,640
this, you know, quite a few
times where she says that, you
887
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:17,880
know, there's more to the four
dimensions that we have come to
888
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:22,280
know and realize.
And all these planes, you know,
889
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:26,840
are certainly not arranged in a
two or three-dimensional manner.
890
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,800
Because see, what happens is
that you know that when you
891
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:35,560
begin to visualize these planes
in an hierarchical fashion, you
892
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,440
know, particularly when you look
at this care, the staircase
893
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:46,120
model that he has created, you
begin to invite this, this
894
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:53,760
entire diatribe, you know, of
academia as far as hierarchy is
895
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,280
concerned.
And unfortunately, you know, Ken
896
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:04,440
Wilber has contributed massively
to this problem, which does not
897
01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:08,120
really exist in the world view
of the mother and Shivar Bindar,
898
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,840
you know.
So yes, these planes are there,
899
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:19,360
We can, we can go till there.
But these planes are not
900
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,400
arranged in A2 dimensional or a
three-dimensional manner.
901
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,800
In order, you know, to really
know and experience how these
902
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,680
planes are placed, we will
basically need to develop a
903
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,920
yogic vision in us.
All that we can do at this point
904
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:40,800
in time is to know that you know
that these are distinct planes
905
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,000
in our existence.
They have certain
906
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:47,000
characteristics.
They influence our consciousness
907
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:51,760
in distinct ways.
And by becoming aware of, you
908
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:57,360
know, of, of their
characteristics, we can work on
909
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,480
their transformation.
But if we begin to get into
910
01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:05,760
this, you know, into this binary
of whether these planes are
911
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,480
placed in an hierarchical
fashion or, you know, or they're
912
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:13,200
on a, on a flat plain, there
will be a problem.
913
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,480
You know, since you're a student
at the East West Psychology
914
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:22,640
department, you know, you have,
you have one framework or
915
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,120
paradigm.
In integral psychology at this
916
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,280
point in time, which is coming
from Ken Wilber, you know, which
917
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:34,400
is which is hierarchical and
then you have this framework of
918
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:39,520
participatory, you know,
practice coming from fairer.
919
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:44,760
And very unfortunately, you know
these two frameworks are at war
920
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,160
with the with the with each
other.
921
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:51,040
And when you look at the
framework of Mother and Sherwin,
922
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,720
though, there basically is no
conflict whatsoever.
923
01:20:55,240 --> 01:21:01,240
You know, this yoga has been
participatory right from the
924
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,880
very beginning, you know, right
from its very inception.
925
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:11,320
And the planes have a certain
kind of an arrangement, but they
926
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,800
are certainly not hierarchical
in a three-dimensional manner.
927
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,640
So once again, you know, the
ignorance of human beings have
928
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:25,000
basically invaded this this
beautiful cosmology that has
929
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,160
actually been presented to us.
So I would say, you know, my
930
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:33,280
suggestion to you is if you can
set aside, you know, these two
931
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,440
frameworks and not get into
them, it will be better, you
932
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:41,360
know, so.
Well, I'll add one thing to
933
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:46,720
that, and that's that scientists
recently found out that they
934
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:52,400
could do something with light to
touch 37 dimensions at one time.
935
01:21:53,440 --> 01:21:59,400
And if you read in the titanium
Upanishad, the what I call the
936
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:05,480
calculus of bliss, human bliss
is at the bottom of that range.
937
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:11,040
And then there's like 10 or 12
ranges above that of further
938
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:16,640
integrated planes or beings or
forces, whatever that are far
939
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:23,760
beyond our human perception.
And so the human being tends to,
940
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:29,440
with the mental forces, we get
to gridlock, we get to arguments
941
01:22:29,440 --> 01:22:34,840
and fighting and positions that
we take, but we need to move
942
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,960
beyond that.
And the Super mental force is
943
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:43,320
meant to harmonize all those
different views into a
944
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:49,320
comprehensive holistic view that
is not argumentative but
945
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:57,120
integrative.
Yeah, sometimes I don't use the,
946
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:03,600
the the original model essential
model supplemental consciousness
947
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,960
because it just doesn't happen
at that moment.
948
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:11,960
Then I don't, I don't use it and
I I use it only when I feel
949
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:17,600
there is something and kind of
isn't kind of a timing.
950
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:23,400
Then I, you then, then I try to
do a little bit doesn't remind
951
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:28,320
how, how, how is the original
mother was said to you.
952
01:23:28,480 --> 01:23:33,680
This is a hurtful child.
And then sometimes you just
953
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:39,120
click and something harmonized,
nourished and something changed
954
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:44,760
something just kind of something
kind of a repaired the outer
955
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,920
personality get repaired.
So sometimes it happens,
956
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,840
sometimes it's not, but isn't it
doesn't matter.
957
01:23:52,400 --> 01:24:01,400
I I just follow the floor.
OK, on that note, why don't we
958
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:05,880
