Impatience and the Practice of Yoga

1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,100
Impatience is endemic to
modern-day Society.

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:12,200
We expect everything immediately
if it does not come we exhibit,

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,700
frustration, annoyance anger,
and a disturbed energy, which

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:22,700
impacts the body.
The Life Energy, the nervous

5
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:28,100
envelope and the mental state
impatience, therefore, create an

6
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,900
energetic state.
That is diametrically opposed to

7
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,300
that required for yogic
development.

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Impatience is rooted in the ego
personality?

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,300
And it's desires.
The action of the desire soul in

10
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:45,100
the vital is one of the main
impediment to progress in yoga

11
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,200
and a focus on immediate
results.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,300
With the rise of impatience.
That accompanies, this Focus

13
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:58,700
actually retards, the yogic
process, Swami Vivekananda in

14
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,600
his lectures on Raja yoga,
describes the chitta or mind

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,900
stuff.
And it's disturbances the

16
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,800
practices of Raja yoga work to
bring the Mind stuff to a state

17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,400
of Tranquility whereby, it can
reflect the higher Divine

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,000
reality without distortion.
He also points out the intimate

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,900
connection between the breath
and the status of the nervous

20
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:30,000
sheath and the mind stuff and he
recommends the practice of

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,900
pranayama as a means to achieve
the needed state of Tranquility.

22
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:40,000
These practices May provide an
aid to gaining control over the

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,100
force of impatience, but the
true underlying necessity, is

24
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,200
for the secret to begin, to
observe the reactions within the

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,500
being to the circumstances of
life and reorient.

26
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,200
The way he responds, this
involves a complete change in

27
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,600
levels of expectation concerns
for the Fulfillment of vital

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,800
desires.
The attempt to achieve results

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,100
in the outer world in the the
form of ambition, power wealth,

30
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:13,900
or status of any sort, each of
these things act upon the

31
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:17,800
psychology to develop impatience
in its various forms.

32
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,400
None of these realizations or
the steps to actually put them

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,300
into practice occurs overnight.
It is a process over the course

34
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,200
of time as the secret gained
success of understanding of the

35
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,000
subtlety of his mind, his
emotions, his vital nervous,

36
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,400
reactions and even his bodily
needs and tendencies SRI.

37
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,500
Aurobindo writes, quote
impatience is always a mistake,

38
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,200
it does not help, but hinders a
quiet.

39
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:55,300
Happy faith.
And confidence is the best

40
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,600
foundation.
Ation for sadhna for the rest.

41
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,400
A constant opening wide of
oneself to receive with an

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,200
aspiration, which may be
intense, but must always be calm

43
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,300
and steady.
Full yogic realization, does not

44
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,500
come all at once it comes after
a long preparation of the attar,

45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,700
which may take a long time.
The power needed in yoga, is the

46
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:26,700
power to go through effort
difficulty or trouble without

47
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:32,600
getting fatigued, depressed,
discouraged or impatient, and

48
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,900
without breaking off the effort
or giving up one's aim, where

49
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:42,000
resolution whatever method is
used persistence and

50
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,600
perseverance are essential for
whatever method is used the

51
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,700
complexity of the natural
resistance will be there to

52
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:54,700
come.
