Glimpses and Experiences of the Inner Being, and the Shift of the Consciousness from the Outer to the Inner

1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,900
If we focus on the experience of
our normal daily lives, we will

2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,500
find that.
It can be characterized by a

3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:15,100
specific feeling or quality that
we know as our usual experience.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,500
While each individual may have a
different characterization of

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:25,400
this experience, some happy,
some sad, some joyful, some

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,500
filled with pain the
preoccupation with the external

7
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,400
body Life Energy.
And Find the perceptions of the

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,300
sentence.
The relationships we have with

9
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,400
others and our experience of the
environment, within which we

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,100
live, are the primary factors
for virtually everyone.

11
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:50,400
There are times when we may have
an experience which we recognize

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,300
is not part of our usual daily
routine.

13
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,200
We tend to try to minimize or
dismiss these experiences as

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,900
something abnormal or
unimportant.

15
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:05,000
Yet they may have a subtle
impact that stays with us.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,900
The tendency to dismiss them
comes from our lack of

17
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:15,000
familiarity or comfort with such
experiences or our inability to

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,200
understand what they are.
And what significance, they may

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,900
hold an example is provided by
dr.

20
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:26,100
De la, when he describes the
difference between ordinary

21
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:31,500
dreams and those that may hold
some deeper sense to them, when

22
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:35,300
we wake from a dream that holds
some real meaning, we know,

23
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:40,800
intuitively that it is not
something usual or ordinary and

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,200
we tend to dwell on the dream,
try to understand it, explain it

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,800
or seek help and Standing it
yet.

26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,700
It is not just in a dream state
that we can experience something

27
00:01:52,700 --> 00:01:56,100
different.
How many times do we enter a

28
00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:00,500
place that suddenly makes us
feel reverence or deep sense of

29
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,100
peace?
Or a prayerful feeling?

30
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:08,699
We do not necessarily know how
or why such an experience arises

31
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:12,100
in that place where time, But we
sense it.

32
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,800
Nevertheless, if we are embedded
deeply into our external

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,300
Consciousness, we try to explain
it away with some superficial

34
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:26,600
sense of its meaning, but if we
are receptive, we begin to

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,900
appreciate that.
This is the influence of the

36
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,600
deeper inner being the sole
beginning to make itself known

37
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,900
and provide us with an opening
to our greater possibilities

38
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,000
beyond what we Day-to-day.
It is said that the experience

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,500
of the sage is the opposite of
what we normally understand to

40
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:54,200
be the nature of our experience.
There is a reversal of day and

41
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,400
night, such that what is day or
an awakened State.

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,200
For the sage is dark and close
to our ordinary Consciousness.

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
While what is day wherein,
awakened state for our normal

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,700
external being is like night to
the phage.

45
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,200
The difference is the
predominant, standpoint of

46
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,000
living, either in the surface
being or living in the inner

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,900
being Dr. Dalal writes, quote,
in the normal State of

48
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,800
Consciousness in which we are
identified with the outer being

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,600
the body, impulses and feelings.
And the mind we are almost

50
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,900
totally unconscious of the inner
being and of its constant

51
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:42,600
actions on the surface
consciousness. we sometimes

52
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,100
awaken into the consciousness of
the inner being during the sleep

53
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,700
of the body and occasionally
bring back to the normal waking

54
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:53,800
consciousness, some of our
experiences of the inner

55
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,900
Consciousness during sleep in
the form of lucid symbolic or

56
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:04,400
premonitory dreams though, most
of our dreams, which are

57
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,200
confused or incoherent pertain
not to the inner Consciousness,

58
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,400
but to the subconscient The
subconsciousness called the

59
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,200
unconscious in modern
psychology.

60
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,399
We also get glimpses of the
inner Consciousness, through

61
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:25,900
certain images, perceived either
spontaneously or during the

62
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:31,400
practice of visualization and in
rare cases through Visions or

63
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,500
inner voices.
In the state of meditation to.

64
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:40,700
We sometimes become aware of the
inner being, as detached calm

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,900
and observing consciousness.
Apart from these occasional

66
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,200
momentary and fragmentary
experiences.

67
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:54,400
The inner being is shut out from
the outer by the thick wall or

68
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
veil of the normal surface
Consciousness.

69
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:02,400
The process of inner growth.
Consists in the gradual breaking

70
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,900
down of the wall or the lifting
of the veil and Awakening to the

71
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:12,000
consciousness of the inner being
in quote, as SRI, aurobindo

72
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,400
writes quote.
There are always two different

73
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,700
Consciousness has in the human
being one outward in which he

74
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:24,200
ordinarily lives, the other
Inward and concealed of which he

75
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,500
knows nothing.
When one does sadhna, the inner

76
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:33,000
Consciousness begins to open in
one, is able to go inside and

77
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,200
have all kinds of experiences
there.

78
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:40,600
As the sadhna, progresses one
begins to live more and more in

79
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,900
this inner being and the outer
becomes more and more

80
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:48,400
superficial at first.
The inner Consciousness seems to

81
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,200
be the dream and the outer the
waking reality afterwards.

82
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,400
The inner Consciousness becomes
the reality and the outer is

83
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,500
felt by many as a dream or
delusion or else a something

84
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:05,300
superficial and external in
quote.
