Evolution of Consciousness Through Time & Our Individual Role and Destiny

1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,640
Welcome.
Welcome, everybody.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,960
And we thank you for joining us
for this new Perspective series

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,680
on the science of living.
And of course, as always, we

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,520
welcome HP, the founder and
Chancellor of our university in

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Surat, India, and our
benefactor, the Lagraj Shiro

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Bindo Center here in Fountain
Inn, as well as our sister

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,520
center, Shrio Bindo Shrio Bindo
Center in Surat, India.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,560
And we also welcome members of
the faculty at our university.

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,120
I see Professor Joshi and others
coming on.

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,160
We appreciate you following the
series on the science of living

11
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:47,280
with us and and for joining and
participating in many of the New

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Perspective sessions.
So today our guest speaker is

13
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,480
Santosh Krinsky, who will
address the topic, the role of

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,040
the individual spiritual
aspirant in the process of the

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,000
evolution of consciousness.
And Santosh states Shir Bindo

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,200
and the mother have radically
redefined the objective of yoga

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,280
and the role and destiny of the
individual.

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,160
For those of you who follow
Cultural Integration Fellowship

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Sunday Zoom meetings, back in
early August, CIF hosted

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Santosh, who gave an
illuminating talk on a related

21
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,680
subject.
But for today, he says he has

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,480
further developed the topic,
adding a new focus, direction

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,720
and additional insights.
So we welcome you, Santosh.

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,480
We are always so interested in
hearing your perspectives on

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,720
such important topics and of
course, joining us from Hawaii.

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,720
We are especially appreciative
of you joining it at 44 AM your

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,520
time.
Santosh was just mentioning that

28
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,200
he actually was up by two or
three this morning and working

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,320
on podcasts and a few other
things that he does on a daily

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
basis, which we'll be mentioning
here in a minute.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,560
So welcome, Santosh.
So Santosh has been studying

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Shrivinda's writing since 1971,
and many of you know him through

33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,840
his daily blog, which I'll be
posting in the chat, and his

34
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,520
podcast.
Also I'll be posting the URL in

35
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,600
the chat.
He is a prolific author of 21

36
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,360
books and editor in chief at
Lotus Press, which carries many

37
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,760
of Shirvinda and the Mothers.
Of books.

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,160
The US editions and links to
ebooks of Shirbindo's writings

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,880
can be found at lotuspress.com
and he is also president of the

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,920
Institute for Holistic Education
in Hawaii, which is a non profit

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,760
focused on integrating
spirituality into daily life.

42
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,960
So once again, we welcome you
and we welcome all attendees.

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,840
There will certainly be time for
comments and questions and

44
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
dialogue with Santosh towards
the end.

45
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,320
In the meantime, if you want to
post any comments or questions

46
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,440
in the chat and we'll get to
them towards the end, but at

47
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,840
this time, I'd like to go ahead
and hand it over to you,

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Santosh.
I must stay.

49
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,760
So welcome everybody.
It is so wonderful to have an

50
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,080
opportunity to share Satsang
with devotees from around the

51
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,280
world.
Today, the subject is going to

52
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,600
be an interesting one for most
people.

53
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:09,000
It's about us, you and me, what
we're here for, what our destiny

54
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
is, what our role to play is
alive here on the planet Earth.

55
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,560
So where we are at present,
where we're going in the future,

56
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:33,000
and what we can do as part of
that process that Triora Bindo

57
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,960
and the mother have so
wonderfully described to us.

58
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Before we do that, I'd like to
go into a little bit what I

59
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880
would call, with all deference
to Stephen Hawking, A brief

60
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,280
history of Time.
But I'm not going to go back to

61
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:59,520
The Big Bang or before that.
Let's start with this, the

62
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,040
planet Earth.
And so we'll discuss that and

63
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040
we'll take this voyage the
Trioro Bindo describes in

64
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Savitri.
And I'll read a very brief

65
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,760
passage.
This is the sailor on the flow

66
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,720
of time.
This is world matters.

67
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Slow discoverer, who launched
into this small corporeal birth,

68
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:29,200
has learned his craft in tiny
bays of self, but dares at last

69
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,560
unplumbed infinitudes, a Voyager
upon eternities seas.

70
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,480
So scientists tell us that the
age of the Earth is somewhere

71
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,320
around 4 1/2 billion years.
And I'd like to go through a

72
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000
little bit of this history.
I'm going to skip a few steps,

73
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,480
but I think it's important for
us to recognize what

74
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,840
evolutionary time is.
Because we as human beings, we

75
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:09,960
have a lifetime of 70 or 80 or
90 or maybe even 100 years.

76
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,920
And we think that's a long time,
or maybe sometimes we think it's

77
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,920
a short time.
But either way, it's not even

78
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,880
the blink of an eye in
evolutionary time.

79
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:34,320
And I think that sets a context
for us of why and how we respond

80
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,960
to things.
So if the age of the Earth is 4

81
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,920
1/2 billion years and we look at
the first evidence of land on

82
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,280
life is like 3.2 billion years
ago.

83
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,480
This is the the first sign that
the vital force has evolved out

84
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,960
of matter.
And following Shrioro Bindo's

85
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:14,680
understanding that everything in
existence is not some kind of a

86
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,720
a random chance, when we look at
the the universe, we look at the

87
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,080
world and the planet and the
diversity and the energies at

88
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,600
play, can we really say that
this is just some kind of a

89
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,600
mistake?
If we want to build a building

90
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:43,880
and we look at dumping a whole
bunch of materials on the ground

91
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,960
in a certain place, the building
does not build itself.

92
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,120
It's not a matter of matter
getting together and saying

93
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,200
let's put up a building or it
just being some kind of random

94
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,160
chance.
Someone has to design the

95
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,000
building.
Someone has to organize the

96
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,600
steps involved in it and the
accumulation of materials and

97
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,320
the proper use of forms to
create that building.

98
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,280
Well, the whole universe is the
building within which

99
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,560
consciousness exists, and it's
created by consciousness.

100
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,960
And so, as Sri Rabindo points
out, consciousness is involved

101
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:35,720
in matter and has basically
designed the evolution.

102
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,440
Not that consciousness follows
material development, but that

103
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,560
consciousness creates the forms
it needs to express itself.

104
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:55,800
So the first signs of life, 3.2
billion years ago, OK, about 2

105
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,880
billion years ago.
The next evolutionary step in

106
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,040
the process takes place with the
development of what are called

107
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,440
eukaryotic cells, and these are
cells that have internal systems

108
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,400
that allow the development of
energy engines within the cells.

109
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,760
Chloroplasts for the conversion
of solar energy into life

110
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:29,040
energy, sexual reproduction.
This is what eukaryotic cells

111
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,960
allow.
Before that time, life was

112
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,920
basically single cellular.
About a billion and a half years

113
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,520
ago, these eukaryotic cells
split into the ancestors of what

114
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,560
we now know as plants, fungi and
animals.

115
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:57,480
This is 500 million years after
the first signs of life or the

116
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,880
the development of the
eukaryotic cells.

117
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:08,200
So we can begin to see what the
yoga of nature the Trioro Bindo

118
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,640
describes at various places
involves in terms of a time

119
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,440
frame.
The time frames in human

120
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:26,400
lifespans are enormous, and
about 890,000,000 years ago, the

121
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:32,920
first recognizable animals
appeared, and then it took

122
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:42,960
another 335,000,000 years before
animals were able to show their

123
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,160
own power of impulsion.
In other words, they could walk,

124
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240
they could fly, whatever it is
that they did for impulsion.

125
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:59,600
All of these time frames, I
think we can see there's a sort

126
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,840
of a pattern here.
The first steps of conversion of

127
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,120
pure matter, material form into
life forms took billions of

128
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,320
years.
Now the next steps of the

129
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:17,080
progression of animal
consciousness, the vital force

130
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,280
making itself felt, didn't take
billions of years, it took

131
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:28,560
hundreds of millions of years.
And we doubt move to the rise of

132
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:33,000
the dinosaurs, which is 250
million years ago.

133
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,160
And they ruled the earth until
about 66,000,000 years ago.

134
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760
So they were here for a long
time.

135
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,840
The early primates came about
just 55,000,000 years ago.

136
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,080
I say just, but in our frame
this is a long time, The higher

137
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:02,680
primates 40 million years ago,
and about two to 2.8 million

138
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:10,840
years ago the human genus came
forward, which you could say

139
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,440
represents a next phase in the
development of the vital.

140
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,240
And then the mental
consciousness.

141
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,720
And the modern human species
appeared about 300,000 years

142
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,480
ago, which is 2,000,000 years
later.

143
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:41,440
We still share 98.4% of the
genes of the chimpanzee even

144
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,040
after millions of years of
evolutionary divergent.

145
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:56,920
That's how humanity has been
built upon prior development of

146
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,040
you might call the evolution of
forms that are based on the

147
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,800
evolution of consciousness.
Human domination of the planet

148
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,520
means that the control of our
mental beings changing life and

149
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,320
matter consciously is only
11,000 years.

150
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,560
It may seem longer than that
with what we're doing to the

151
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,440
planet.
And in fact, some scientists say

152
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,760
we're engaged right now in the
6th mass extinction event, the

153
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:40,440
one that follows the demise of
the dinosaurs, mainly because of

154
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,720
the imbalances that our
development of the mental

155
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,440
consciousness have caused in
planetary life.

156
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,920
And a lot of that is based on
the ego, and we'll talk about

157
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:02,160
that later.
But every one of these major

158
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,160
transitions led to the
development of forms that could

159
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,920
hold and manifest the next
evolution of consciousness.

160
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,640
And that's, I think, an
important point to to think

161
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,640
about.
When Sri Ravindo and the Mother

162
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:26,320
talk about the evolution of
consciousness, they're looking

163
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,640
at this scale of evolutionary
time, what they call the yoga of

164
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,240
nature.
And they have pointed out

165
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:41,000
repeatedly that with the yoga of
nature, this next phase that

166
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,720
what we would call the Super
mental consciousness, this next

167
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,000
phase could take, who knows,
hundreds of thousands of years.

168
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:57,400
If we're sort of truncating the
time scale down from billions of

169
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800
years to hundreds of millions of
years to millions of years, we

170
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,800
may be now in the hundreds of
thousands of years.

171
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,320
And they look at it and say,
well, the imbalances that are

172
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,160
caused by the mental
consciousness being essentially

173
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:26,640
unchecked in the ego development
create that crisis that requires

174
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,040
something more and something
faster.

175
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:38,720
And that's why they develop what
we call the integral yoga, not

176
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:47,520
to lead to cessation of life or
escape from life or individual

177
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,720
liberation or entry into
Nirvana.

178
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,680
And you know, in the in the
Buddhist tradition, there is a

179
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:03,040
concept called bodhisattva.
And bodhisattva basically is an

180
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:09,960
individual who has carried out a
spiritual development to such a

181
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:17,560
point that that individual can
go and create for himself

182
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,000
liberation from this entire
sequence of life.

183
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,560
But he turns back and says that
until every last sentient being

184
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,800
achieves Nirvana, he won't enter
in.

185
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:41,520
Now the concept here is that
it's not about an individual

186
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,880
achieving something as an
egoistic personality, but about

187
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:53,360
the need for the entire sentient
universe to achieve that

188
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,080
liberation.
Now Shrioro Bindu and the mother

189
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:03,480
don't talk about liberation as
being the goal or the end

190
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,119
purpose of our existence.
They talk about the

191
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:14,319
transformation of life in the
earth consciousness.

192
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:25,560
So while the Bodhisattva vow of
every sentient being points a

193
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,400
way for us, it doesn't point a
way away from the earth.

194
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,840
It points a way into the
integral yoga.

195
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:49,520
We look at, if you will, our own
position in that, and Shiro

196
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Bindo and the mother want us to
understand that it's not about

197
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,520
us.
And this is a really hard

198
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,720
concept because we are so
wrapped up in our mental and

199
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,720
vital consciousness.
We're born into this, we're

200
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:16,240
educated into this, and we think
it's about me, me, me, and we're

201
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,240
going to achieve something.
I've heard people say that

202
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,640
they're devotees and they expect
to be super mentalized in this

203
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,400
lifetime.
And you know, maybe, I don't

204
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,560
know, miracles can happen, but
that's not the process of

205
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,560
nature.
I'd like to read a brief

206
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,800
citation from Sri Robindo about
this subject.

207
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,280
What we are doing, if and when
we succeed, will be a beginning,

208
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,760
not a completion.
It is the foundation of a new

209
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,960
consciousness on earth, a
consciousness with infinite

210
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:05,280
possibilities of manifestation.
The eternal progression is in

211
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,720
the manifestation and beyond it
there is no progression.

212
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,600
And he goes on to say that the
old yoga's, the original yoga's,

213
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,560
didn't believe in this
transformation.

214
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,680
That wasn't their goal.
They think that life is an

215
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,040
illusion.
They want to escape the illusion

216
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:41,880
to the reality.
So essentially it is only some

217
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,160
yoga's that aim at a
transformation of any kind

218
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,560
except that of ignorance into
knowledge.

219
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:55,600
And it is not intended to super
mentalize humanity at large, but

220
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,920
to establish the principle of
the Super mental consciousness

221
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:13,390
in the earth evolution.
And he goes on to say it would

222
00:20:13,390 --> 00:20:17,630
not be possible to change all
that in a moment we have always

223
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:20,560
said.
That the whole of humanity will

224
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080
not change the moment there is
the descent.

225
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,640
But what can be done is to
establish the higher principle

226
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,680
in the earth consciousness in
such a way that it will remain

227
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,920
and go on strengthening and
spreading itself in the earth

228
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,800
life.
That is how a new principle in

229
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,200
the evolution must necessarily
work.

230
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:49,120
This transformation cannot be
done individually in a solitary

231
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:52,760
way only.
No individual solitary

232
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,840
transformation apart from the
work for the Earth, which means

233
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,000
more than any individual
transformation, would be either

234
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,160
possible or useful.
Also, no individual human being

235
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,880
can by his own power alone work
out the transformation, nor is

236
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,120
it the object of the Yoga to
create an individual Superman

237
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,360
here and there.
The object of the yoga is to

238
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,600
bring down the Super mental
consciousness on earth, to fix

239
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,240
it there, to create a new race
with the principle of the Super

240
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,080
mental consciousness governing
the inner and outer, individual

241
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:44,320
and collective life.
So let's reflect on this for a

242
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
moment.
If it's not about creating

243
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,760
individual salvation, and it's
not about creating an individual

244
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:03,880
Superman, as he describes here,
but it's about every one of us

245
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,600
dedicating our lives as the
Bodhisattva dedicates his life

246
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,640
to the creation of that new
power of consciousness within

247
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:25,360
the earth, nature.
And this is really the crux of

248
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:28,240
it.
It's not about you, it's not

249
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,520
about me, it's not about any one
of us.

250
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,440
Now somewhere, and don't quote
me on this, but somewhere Srioro

251
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:44,520
Vindo, I, as I recall, said that
it could take 3 or 400 years for

252
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:52,880
the new race to emerge.
And that would be based upon

253
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,600
more or less the intensity of
the effort combined with working

254
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,440
out and overcoming the
resistance of the existing

255
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:16,120
egoistic nature, if you will, or
the resistance of matter and the

256
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,880
embedded instincts and habits of
the vital life.

257
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,280
All of these things have to be
modified.

258
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,080
It's something that I call the
texturing of the consciousness

259
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:37,560
of the earth, the idea that you
can't have a Unicorn appear, if

260
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,440
you will, in in sort of today's
modern business sense without

261
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:49,760
there being a basis in the
society for that form to survive

262
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,400
and thrive.
And so the development of an

263
00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:00,840
individual super mental being or
a collective group of super

264
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,400
mental beings is conditioned
upon not just the emergence of

265
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,200
that consciousness, but the
development of enough texturing

266
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:19,120
across the entire physical vital
mental sphere that it can

267
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:28,360
support that.
So where are we?

268
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:36,880
The human being has its own
issues, We are struggling to

269
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:48,120
address those issues and any one
of us in our lifetimes is likely

270
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,320
not going to be transformed and
super mentalized.

271
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,840
I look at this as something like
a relay race.

272
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,520
Only the last runner in the
relay race gets across the

273
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,680
finish line.
All the others are just running

274
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,600
to move things forward.
Now if we look at it as let's

275
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:16,680
accept 3 year old windows #300
to 400 years, we're looking at

276
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:24,120
maybe 10 generations of humanity
before the 1st super mental

277
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,680
beings that can actually
manifest and live that

278
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:34,360
consciousness are able to
actually walk upon the earth or

279
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,240
whatever they do.
They may not walk, who knows.

280
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,760
The rest of us are basically
carrying that baton forward

281
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:52,560
through 10 generations, where
what we're doing is helping to

282
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,400
texture the consciousness and
prepare the ground, but not

283
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,320
ourselves individually getting
the immediate fruits of that.

284
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:13,400
Now let's say that if we take
repeated births and we continue

285
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:23,680
this process through our psychic
association through time, our

286
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:32,360
future psychic heirs of rebirth,
we'll be the ones to get the

287
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:36,640
benefit of that.
So maybe we're thinking like the

288
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Native Americans do about 7
generations down and what the

289
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,640
impact on that is all going to
be.

290
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:57,480
So if our goal is for immediate
transformation, with all due

291
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:04,160
respect, I think that we're not
focused on where we need to be.

292
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:12,480
What can we do?
Nature's methods, if you will,

293
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:20,400
are to combine benefits from
other aspects that have been

294
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,840
developed to more or less create
a new way forward.

295
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:33,000
And as an example, the energy
centers in the human body are

296
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,800
called mitochondria.
They're within the cells and the

297
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:47,440
mitochondria actually developed
from a bacteria that invaded the

298
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,640
cell.
And instead of the immune system

299
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,880
destroying it and the bacteria
creating a disease, they created

300
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:03,560
a symbiotic relationship whereby
the bacteria thrive and get fed

301
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:10,280
by the human system and they
provide energy back to the

302
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,160
system.
And we look also at our

303
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,840
digestive system.
Everyone, I'm sure, is aware of

304
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,640
what we call probiotics.
These are what we call the good

305
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:33,200
bacteria that reside in our guts
that actually carry out a huge

306
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,800
portion of the digestive process
without which we would really be

307
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,680
struggling.
And so looking at this, we say

308
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,040
that, well, what is the human
being?

309
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:57,400
We are a collective of various
pieces of natural evolution to

310
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,960
create a certain forward motion
or movement, a certain form that

311
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:14,800
works for what needs to be done.
The collective power of this

312
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,160
effort, even if it's not for our
own individual transformation

313
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,480
but to texture consciousness,
also comes within a context.

314
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:31,120
In 1956, the mother declared
that the Super mental descent

315
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:41,320
had occurred in matter.
And I suspect that it's not only

316
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,320
active, it's very active, but
it's active at ways that we

317
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,760
don't recognize.
And we don't recognize it

318
00:29:49,920 --> 00:30:00,440
because we don't observe the way
nature works. the Super mental

319
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:10,320
process is to open up what we
would call the truth

320
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,560
consciousness.
And what has happened in the

321
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,720
last 75 years or so is evidence
of that.

322
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,200
You've got all kinds of new
revelations coming about about

323
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,080
how humanity is dealing with the
planet, with the environment,

324
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,600
with each other.
All kinds of corruption have

325
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,360
been exposed.
All kinds of issues have been

326
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:45,120
brought forward into the light
that used to remain hidden and

327
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:51,160
the forces that oppose that have
a vested egoistic interest, a

328
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,880
vested long term embedded
habitual interest in not

329
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,680
changing and not allowing this
to occur because their power in

330
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,440
their minds would be reduced or
eliminated.

331
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000
These forces are up in arms
worldwide.

332
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,880
Everywhere.
Things are exploding, forces are

333
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:25,000
fighting, oppression is
happening, economic controls and

334
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,720
manipulations are stronger than
ever.

335
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:36,320
Technologies are being developed
to basically monitor and control

336
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:42,040
everybody, with the idea that
somehow brute force of the ego

337
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,720
can suppress a movement of
evolutionary time, the

338
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,120
development of the next phase of
consciousness.

339
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,920
It is the very fact that these
things are so prevalent and so

340
00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:02,320
heavily visible today that tells
us that in new forces working

341
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,520
that's irritating these
established forces very, very

342
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,680
much.
And so I see the opposition

343
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:19,320
arising as this as the most
obvious sign of the evolution of

344
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,520
the next phase of consciousness
fixed into the earth

345
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,680
consciousness.
Now, how long is this going to

346
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,480
take?
It might take several 100 years

347
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,760
for this opposition to get
worked out, but it will get

348
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:40,000
worked out.
And the reason is that souls

349
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:48,800
that have adhered to this
concept are taking conscious

350
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:55,320
birth on the planet.
And that itself is a marvelous,

351
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:02,880
amazing thing.
And we can see it in Savi Tree.

352
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Sri Aurobindo inspires us with
his vision of the individual and

353
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,600
the transformation process.
And so I'll close with that.

354
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:23,080
I saw the omnipotence, flaming
pioneers over the heavenly verge

355
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:28,120
which turns towards life, come
crowding down the amber stairs

356
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:34,160
of birth, forerunners of a
divine multitude out of the

357
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,040
paths of the morning star they
came into the little room of

358
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:44,080
mortal life.
I saw them cross the twilight of

359
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:49,480
an age, the sun eyed children of
a marvelous dawn, the great

360
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,120
creators with wide brows of
calm, the massive barrier

361
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Breakers of the world and
wrestlers with destiny in her

362
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,160
lists of will.
The laborers in the quarries of

363
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:09,760
the gods, the messengers of the
incommunicable, the architects

364
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,159
of immortality.
Into the fallen human sphere

365
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:17,880
they came.
Faces that wore the immortals

366
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,719
glory still.
Voices that commune still with

367
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,679
the thoughts of God.
Bodies made beautiful by the

368
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:29,000
spirit's light carrying the
magic word.

369
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,239
The Mystic fire carrying the
Dionysian cup of joy.

370
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,560
Approaching eyes of a diviner
man, lips chanting an unknown

371
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:46,520
anthem of the soul, feet echoing
in the corridors of time, High

372
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:53,400
priests of wisdom, sweetness,
might and bliss, Discoverers of

373
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,880
beauty's sunlit waves and
swimmers of Love's laughing

374
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,680
fiery floods and dancers within
rapture's golden doors.

375
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:08,640
Their tread one day shall change
the suffering earth and justify

376
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:19,850
the light and nature's face.
Thank you Santosh so much and

377
00:35:19,850 --> 00:35:24,410
this is beautiful, especially
this ending actually defines

378
00:35:24,410 --> 00:35:26,170
everything what you wanted to
say.

379
00:35:26,570 --> 00:35:32,090
So basically your message is
that individual here is to help

380
00:35:32,090 --> 00:35:35,370
nature to evolve to the higher
levels.

381
00:35:36,010 --> 00:35:41,480
We are here the helpers of
nature's yoga and not here to

382
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,280
agrees to clearly try to develop
ourselves against nature or

383
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,240
against the whole world, just as
if we are the supreme beings.

384
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,360
This is that wrong Superman idea
of Nietzsche most probably,

385
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,200
which was mistaken for Sri
Aravinda's idea.

386
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,680
And of course.
Yes, I should mention one thing

387
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,640
in relation to that, and that is
that people want to have

388
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,680
spiritual experiences, they want
to have illumination.

389
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,280
But what if the role of some
people is to have that

390
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,080
experience as part of this
process?

391
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:31,080
And the role of other people is
to really just deal with the

392
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,160
stuff you know and, you know.
Poem called a God's labor.

393
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,120
Sri Aurobindo points out, I have
been digging deep and long in a

394
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,960
horror of filth.
Admire a bed for the golden

395
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,080
River song, a home for the
deathless fire.

396
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,480
Well, this isn't spiritual
illumination on the heights.

397
00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:00,360
This is dealing with all those
movements that anger the ego,

398
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:06,120
the pride, the vanity, the lust,
the greed, the egoistic self

399
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,280
dealing that are part of what
needs to be textured.

400
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,560
What if some of us are just
there to deal with that stuff

401
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,440
and we're not here to personally
experience the heights other

402
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,480
than possibly glimpses to give
us hope?

403
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,000
It's really a different way of
looking at things, and some

404
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,960
people get discouraged by that.
But some people say, well, OK,

405
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:42,000
let's roll up our sleeves and if
Sri or Ovindo can dig deep and

406
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,920
long and a horror of filth,
admire, well, I guess we can

407
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,720
sign up for that too, if
necessary.

408
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,840
Absolutely, I understand what
you mean.

409
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:57,800
I had once experienced, I
remember in Soviet Union looking

410
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,480
at 2 drunken men digging their,
their trench and you know, and

411
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,440
cursing and, and I was thinking,
how is that the divine created

412
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:12,640
this, you know, this formation,
why it is there, what it is for

413
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,840
Usually we condemn this people.
And then I thought, no, it's not

414
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,480
like that.
They are actually going deep

415
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:26,840
into the darkness with their
small lights, but those lights

416
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,280
inside them are actually
transmitting the greater light

417
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,800
into the darkness.
They are intermediaries who

418
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:40,280
dared to go down to forget
themselves, to to be lost in the

419
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,320
darkness.
And that is the greatest

420
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,280
sacrifice.
And it reminded me of this

421
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,000
statement of Jesus.
Those who are the last will be

422
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,680
the first in the Kingdom of my
Father.

423
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,840
So there's something mysterious
about this manifestation of the

424
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,960
Supreme in the human race, and I
understand what you want to say.

425
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,000
This is amazing.
Thank you so much.

426
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,320
Beautiful.
If anyone wants to say something

427
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,240
or reflect upon this or have
questions, please please say

428
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:20,720
it's time now.
Just to add what Santos has so

429
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:26,920
eloquently laid out the
evolutionary journey of human

430
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,160
being, I think what's here
Window has brought out and

431
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,920
mother has given away is that we
have to be conscious

432
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:42,640
collaborator in that
evolutionary journey of ours to

433
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:48,560
make the room for super mental
to work with us.

434
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,160
So we have to be conscious
collaborator with it and that's

435
00:39:53,720 --> 00:40:03,400
how we can keep moving forward.
And that will help also hasten

436
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,480
the evolutionary process and
manifestation, manifestation of

437
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,080
super mental being actually,
because we have to be part of

438
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:18,360
that evolutionary process.
And in the Basis of Yoga, which

439
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,880
is the current blog post, we
just went over sort of this

440
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,960
subject.
Sri Rabindo advises someone, you

441
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,360
spend too much time focused on
all your deficiencies and

442
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,920
problems and everything.
The real work is to aspire and

443
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,840
be receptive and accept the
grace and the forest as it

444
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,440
enters, because it's the yoga of
nature that we're facilitating,

445
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,400
not an individual achievement.
So thank you, Yes.

446
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,080
Thank you, Poonam.
You wanted to say something.

447
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:01,360
Oh, OK, I'll wait.
Yeah, I just wanted to when

448
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,960
Santosh mentioned about the
probiotic.

449
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,040
You went muted.
Sorry, I accidentally muted you.

450
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,440
I was trying to get your hand
down.

451
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,880
Sorry Pruna, you'll have to
unmute yourself.

452
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,960
And I'm doing it, yeah.
So no, Santosh had said that

453
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,920
talked about the probiotic which
are in Nagas.

454
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,400
So I remember reading in one of
the journals that there are

455
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,720
millions of good bacteria in the
large intestines particularly

456
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,160
which keeps which fights all the
the diseases.

457
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,840
That's all I wanted to say.
Thank you.

458
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,600
Yes, please, rather you wanted
to.

459
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,480
Yes, I, I was just going to
comment.

460
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,000
First of all, thank you so much
Santosh.

461
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,560
That was absolutely excellent
and explained and illustrated

462
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,680
some very important concepts in
terms of our evolution and the

463
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,800
Super mental power and
consciousness you had.

464
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:10,600
You had mentioned that, you
know, we don't really know or

465
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,680
understand how nature works.
We can't really see and

466
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,000
appreciate it all the time.
And when you were commenting

467
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,240
that the Super mantle has
already come down and touched

468
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:26,560
the Earth and working in the
Earth nature, you know, it

469
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,320
reminds me that a lot of of what
we're seeing, not just not just

470
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,560
the wars, but the other
destructions that we're seeing

471
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,800
with the natural elements, the
fire and the Tornadoes and the

472
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,720
Hurricanes.
This is churning perhaps that

473
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,400
that Mother Nature is doing
under the impetus of the Super

474
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,480
mental in order to begin to
create or awaken even the the

475
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,120
consciousness, the nature, the
consciousness within matter or

476
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,400
within nature.
So just wanted to share that

477
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,800
thought and get your comments on
it.

478
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:04,760
Well, I think that's very good.
I, I believe that if all of us

479
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,800
reflect on what we see and what
we experience, both in terms of

480
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,240
what we're seeing outside with
all this churning you're you're

481
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:20,600
mentioning and also the very
hopeful signs, the light, the

482
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,960
people awakening and the vast
increase of people interested in

483
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,400
yoga and spirituality.
And I mean, all these things

484
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,480
work together to show that there
is both the positive, if you

485
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:43,920
will, side of that process of
awakening consciousness, and on

486
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,360
the other side that what you
might call the negative side,

487
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:54,320
the opening up and churning, as
you mention it, of the material

488
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,760
world, the vital world, and the
mental world that has ruled the

489
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:07,920
earth heretofore.
So basically we are all here

490
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,840
workers on the indifferent
niches of the we have different

491
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,160
tasks.
Some of us are the workers

492
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,800
without wages for delight.
Others are closer to the more

493
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:27,400
conscious kind of evolution or
to say that at least ascribe

494
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,720
themselves for that thinking
that they are that.

495
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,880
But truly speaking, we are all
working for one particular

496
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,760
reason to go forward, to move
forward.

497
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:42,040
Those who resist, they also
resist for the reason they

498
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:48,440
intensify the divine
intervention and also highlight

499
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,880
all those problems which have to
be dealt with.

500
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,200
You mentioned beautiful this in
this beautiful quotation, the

501
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,440
resistance, many of we have to
face that resistance also and

502
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,120
not only to, to promote forward,
but to meet the resistance, to

503
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,360
face it, to deal with it.
And many of us are dealing with

504
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,400
it.
And of course, we we do not

505
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,120
speak of them highly of those
people who are in the trouble

506
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,120
and dealing with resistance, but
they are workers of this

507
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,960
evolution.
This is a beautiful image which

508
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,080
includes everyone in this
journey.

509
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,600
Thank you, Sangeeta.
You wanted to say something.

510
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,360
I just want to apologize.
My Wi-Fi is not amazing.

511
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,600
That's why I'm not, I'm not
opening my video.

512
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:45,840
I really wanted to thank Santosh
and always I'm very grateful to

513
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,840
La Grasse.
Thank you, Vladimir Andrade.

514
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Santosh, I completely resonate
with what you're saying and we

515
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,080
are actually on very similar
paths because the work that I'm

516
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,960
doing right now is very much
aligned with what you've

517
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:12,280
described of helping and
facilitating the Super mental to

518
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,160
to connect more deeply with
nature.

519
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,840
I was just going to request you
if, if you're amenable to it, to

520
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,920
share your e-mail contact.
If that's possible, I would like

521
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,520
to reach out and connect with
you please.

522
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Sureitssantoshk@msn.com.
Okthankyousantoshk@msn.com.

523
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,360
Yes.
Thank you.

524
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:43,800
Thank.
You Nova.

525
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,520
I've also put out there
Santosh's blog and his YouTube

526
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,920
in the chat for those that want
to follow.

527
00:46:52,360 --> 00:47:01,840
Thank you, Roddy.
Once, since nobody speaks.

528
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,800
Once I was puzzled by a mother's
statement when they came to her

529
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,960
and said, you know, this, this
person is not really for

530
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,760
integral yoga here.
And why do you keep him, you

531
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,200
know, and his family in the
ashram?

532
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,280
And she said, but, you know, he
is a very good worker.

533
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,800
And this is the quality needed
for the constellation of all,

534
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,160
you know, engagements of all
different kinds.

535
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:36,120
One of them has to be a good
worker to cover something very

536
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,800
basic for the rest of moving
forward.

537
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:48,960
It's amazing, if you think of
it, no more judgement of who is

538
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:54,320
spiritual, who is not.
And you remember there was one

539
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,120
American who lived on the
island, most probably you know

540
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:06,280
him, I forgot his name, who was
drunken always and under the and

541
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:12,320
drugs and so on.
And they people resisted and

542
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,560
said why do you keep him here?
He is not really for the ashram.

543
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,480
And she says he took on to
himself the vulgarity of

544
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:26,080
American people, the whole
vulgarity took unto himself.

545
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,120
It was his yoga.
And this is something amazing to

546
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,680
think.
It's really something only

547
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,040
mother can see.
What is really happening.

548
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,360
You know, we can't see.
We do not know.

549
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,360
Well, the texturing of
consciousness has to happen at

550
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:48,720
every level.
So whether people are

551
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,760
consciously doing it, whether
they're moved unconsciously, or

552
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,000
whether they're simply
progressing along the path of

553
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:05,200
the yoga of nature, every
sentient being on the planet is

554
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,600
involved in this process
somehow.

555
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:14,040
And you know, we we all talk
about all the ego is bad and we

556
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,280
need to get rid of the ego.
And Trior Vindo said the ego is

557
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:23,720
the helper, the ego is the bar.
And there is actually a role for

558
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:28,760
the ego and we shouldn't
minimize that.

559
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,960
It becomes for us and this is
part of the process of what we

560
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:40,400
can do, OK.
It becomes an opportunity for

561
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:48,520
nature to create a self aware
and conscious receiving device

562
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:55,680
and Nexus if you will, so that
when people get to that stage,

563
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:00,920
they can begin to tune their
focus towards the higher energy

564
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:07,480
centers and bring down and
radiate that force consciously.

565
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:14,080
And until that was there, you
had this amorphous energy moving

566
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,760
through almost like
instinctively.

567
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,160
So now you've got self-conscious
individuals such as those of us

568
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:29,240
who who participate in these
type of programs, whose job it

569
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:34,680
is really to tune ourselves to
the higher vibrational centers

570
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,720
and to let that force work
through us.

571
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,520
It's not that we're doing the
yoga, it's that the yoga is

572
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,880
doing us, and the ego provided
the platform for that to even

573
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,880
start to occur.
Or to face resistance.

574
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,000
Exactly.
Sangeeta wants to say something

575
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,640
you handed.
Up I just want to comment that,

576
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:06,040
you know, the indigenous peoples
all over the world through, I

577
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,960
believe through their ceremonies
are actually doing this and

578
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,320
they've been doing it right
since the beginning.

579
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:18,760
And even I, I feel that with,
with the Indian indigenous

580
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:25,320
systems of heaven and all the
Ayurvedic, you know, ceremonies

581
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:30,920
and rituals that is also being
used to bring in the Super

582
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,240
mental consciousness into the,
the, the, the earth.

583
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,600
And it was always like that,
probably from the beginning.

584
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:47,520
That's what Santosh was showing
us, that the whole design was

585
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,480
from the beginning could not
build the foundation for the

586
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:57,600
building, which is not coming.
So absolutely thank you.

587
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,920
Somebody else say, I see many
faces, many familiar faces.

588
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,960
Sharon Kinshuk, who wants to add
to it?

589
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:12,840
Rick, please go ahead.
I'm reminded of a writing in

590
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:18,800
Adventure of Consciousness by
Satprene wherein he describes

591
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:26,040
that in 1926 is the older mind
descended, the saddocks in the

592
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:36,120
ashram were disrupted, and I
draw a parallel to today's

593
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:43,280
situation where we see the world
perhaps in chaos and increasing

594
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:50,200
disruption following the descent
of the supermoon in 1956.

595
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,800
Just that parallel.
Wonderful.

596
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,680
You know, maybe again, since
nobody's raised their hand, I'll

597
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,600
share something here that I was
just looking for.

598
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,760
I read recently and it kind of
goes back to your comment,

599
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,240
Santosh, about nature and how
nature works.

600
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:20,520
And there was a writing that was
published in the Aria back in, I

601
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:27,000
think, 2015, 19/15/1970 by
Shriya Binda.

602
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,600
And what he was doing was really
taking the Darwin, the Western

603
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:37,440
concept of evolution and point
by point by point discussing how

604
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,920
there is truth in each, but
those truths are subordinate to

605
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,920
a larger truth.
And one of the things that one

606
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,280
of those points that he was
mentioning was that it looks to

607
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:55,080
us as we look back over time
that evolution is taking place

608
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:59,920
very slow, very steady.
He says very minute graduations.

609
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,160
But then, and I'll, I'll read
this.

610
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:06,480
It's it's a little lengthy, but
I think it's absolutely on

611
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,400
point.
He says, now evolution

612
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,920
suggested, let me see, instead
of slow, steady, my new

613
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,560
graduations, right, It is now
new steps and evolutions are

614
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:25,280
rather affected by rapid and
sudden outbursts, outbreaks, as

615
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,000
it were, of manifestation from
the unmanifest.

616
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,480
Shall we say that nature,
preparing slowly behind the

617
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,040
veil, working a little
backwards, working a little

618
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:42,400
forwards, one day arrives at the
combination of outward things

619
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:47,360
which makes it possible for her
to throw her new idea into a

620
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,440
realized formation suddenly,
with violence, with a glorious

621
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,000
donning, with the grandiose
stride.

622
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,560
And that would explain the
economy of her relapses and her

623
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,280
reappearances of things long
dead.

624
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,520
She aims at a certain immediate
result, and to arrive at it more

625
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:12,160
quickly and entirely, she
sacrifices many of her

626
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:16,360
manifestations and throws them
back into the latent, the

627
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,640
unmanifest, the subconscious.
But she has not finished with

628
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,960
them.
She will need them at another

629
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,600
stage for a further result.
Therefore she brings them

630
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,480
forward again and they reappear
in new forms and other

631
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,520
combinations and act towards new
ends.

632
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:40,120
And so evolution advances.
And so we don't see actually

633
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,040
what nature is is doing and we
don't think of it as a sudden

634
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,240
outburst as these violent
reactions that are happening.

635
00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:50,520
But this is actually the
birthing and the opportunity for

636
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,040
new forms and new consciousness
to come forward.

637
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,840
So I thought it was just
absolutely beautiful when I read

638
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,360
that a few days ago.
And I think anyone who is

639
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,840
interested in, you know,
Shirvindo's other concepts of,

640
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,800
of evolution, I would encourage
you to to read that which is now

641
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:12,240
in a little pamphlet.
And actually Shirvindo elsewhere

642
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:15,080
talks about the evolutionary
saltus.

643
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:19,960
Where things get prepared to a
certain stage and then there's

644
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:26,200
like a sudden jump or leap that
occurs because it's all been

645
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,120
prepared as you're pointing out
here.

646
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,880
Yeah, amazing.
Absolutely amazing.

647
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,720
There is the whole passage in
Savitry and believe shall be not

648
00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:44,160
till the work is done.
So there's something about the

649
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,400
sudden appearance or
manifestation of which we'll

650
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,480
take in our reveal.
We all believed that it will

651
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,760
come suddenly, so we don't have
to do much for it.

652
00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:03,520
We just have to follow the trend
and then it will come in spite

653
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,280
of us rather than with our help
for something.

654
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,160
Yes, yes we shall.
You wanted to say something.

655
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:19,880
Yeah, just what's that game?
Your mother says that, and I'm

656
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,800
just quoting her.
There are people who love

657
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:27,120
adventure.
It is these I call and I tell

658
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,680
them this.
I invite you to the great

659
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,920
adventure.
It is not a question of

660
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,680
repeating spiritual,
spiritually, what others have

661
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,240
done before us, for our
adventure begins.

662
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:46,360
Beyond that, it is a question of
a new creation, entirely new,

663
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,600
with all the unforeseen events,
the risks, the hazards entails,

664
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,240
a real adventure whose goal is
certain victory, but the road to

665
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:01,800
which is unknown and must be
traced out step by step and the

666
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:06,280
unexplored.
This is so beautiful because we

667
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,320
are all connected.
She has called us and we have

668
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,720
chosen to participate.
So not I think, as was

669
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:19,240
mentioned, from an egotistical
standpoint, but just the joy of

670
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,040
participating, I think is so
tremendous.

671
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,120
And then I think the other part
was and mother also say that,

672
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,440
you know, this is it is through
the heart, right?

673
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,440
Not through the head that you
become closer to this force.

674
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:41,080
So that I just want to share.
Thank.

675
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,200
You I just wanted to say
something.

676
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:53,640
I loved the image of passing the
baton and carrying the baton

677
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:59,440
knowing that you'll never cross
the finish line and it just

678
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:05,240
brought up deep gratitude for
all the people that have passed

679
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:26,360
the baton to me, so thank you.
Wonderful.

680
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,200
Thank you.
Yeah, I think we, we have all

681
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:38,520
been so, so moved today as
Sharon and and all of us Santosh

682
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,440
for what you've shared and what
others have shared here today.

683
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,960
So we just, we just thank you
very, very much for this

684
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,720
session.
And, and, and Satsang, as you

685
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,240
called it when you were were
opening.

686
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,680
It's, it was very wonderful that
we could all come come together

687
00:59:56,080 --> 01:00:02,360
and share in our thoughts and
our ideas and, and, and, and

688
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,200
continue to carry the, the, the
torch, if you will.

689
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,560
For the Integral Yoga and for
progress.

690
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,000
So thank you so much, very much
appreciate it.

691
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,520
Thank you all.
Thank you, Namaste.
