Four Instruments for Attaining the Perfection of the Practice of Yoga

1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:06,400
People frequently seek for a
very specific directed form of

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,400
practice which will provide
Liberation and spiritual

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,400
Perfection.
They asked what is the best form

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,100
of practice.
SRI aurobindo takes a much more

5
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:22,400
flexible approach which is based
on the need and development of

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,800
the individual practitioner, the
unique capacities that Seeker

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,000
brings to the process at a
particular point in time.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,600
And the unique challenges, a
particular individual must face

9
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:39,500
given their pre-existing habits
and formations for this

10
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,000
approach.
SRI, aurobindo provides a

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
guideline as to the approach and
the available tools.

12
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:50,900
For Spiritual realization rather
than a fixed and formalize

13
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:56,800
program to be followed by all in
the synthesis of yoga.

14
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,700
SRI, aurobindo devotes an entire
chapter to an explanation of the

15
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:05,200
for AIDS which are briefly
outlined in the citation below

16
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,700
when he speaks of the shastra,
he is not referring to a

17
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:14,200
specific scripture or teaching
leaving the Seeker free to find

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000
guidance from whatever
Direction.

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Action actually suited to his
own situation.

20
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:24,200
The personal effort called for
involves the systematic

21
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,500
development within oneself of
the truths principles and

22
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:34,800
practices provided through the
guidance received It is not

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,100
sufficient to understand a
teaching intellectually.

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,700
It needs to become an integrated
element in one's life.

25
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,400
It is extremely difficult to
recognize the necessary and

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,300
correct steps along the way.
Particularly as the vital

27
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,700
Nature, has a way of achieving
its limited aims by actively

28
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:59,500
misleading, the mind and
engaging it to defend what the

29
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:04,100
vital desires.
Thus, the role of the teacher or

30
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,100
Guru is an important Aid in the
process.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,300
Patient and persistent effort is
required changing.

32
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,600
Human nature, is not something
that is accomplished in a day.

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,700
The habits and formations that
make up our normal human life,

34
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:24,500
and our reaction to
circumstances were formed over,

35
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:30,500
countless Millennia and thus
time is required. for further
