Integral Purification of All Parts of the Being Is a First Preparation for the Integral Yoga

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,600
In the context of the practice
of yoga purification is not the

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,000
enforcement of some kind of
moral code or precepts.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,300
This is a common perception
based on religious tenants that

4
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:20,300
have a bounded Through the Ages
that set forth a moral code and

5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:25,500
try to both control the actions
of people and judge them based

6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:30,700
on their adherence to that moral
code. purification in a yogic

7
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:35,700
context is the creation of a
calm clear light of awareness in

8
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:41,600
the being Swami Vivekananda in
his lectures on Raja yoga.

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,200
Stresses the importance of
bringing the Mind stuff to a

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,900
state of quiescent and Stillness
as a preliminary for the deeper

11
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:57,100
practices of yoga because of the
interconnections between all the

12
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,600
different parts of the being,
the process of achieving

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,900
purification is one that
involves considerable awareness

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,400
and subtle view of the Nations
of the Mind, the emotions, the

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,700
Life Energy and the body.
In particular.

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,700
The vital life force has a way
of justifying its desires and

17
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:23,400
actions to the mind and getting
the mind to find excuses to

18
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,600
support them, the body, when it
gets out of sorts.

19
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,200
Also clouds The View and
disturbs the quiet awareness in

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,000
the being inflamed, emotions,
make rational, observation.

21
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,200
Virtually impossible.
The Mind itself when it gets a

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,200
particular bias or Creed tends
to see and analyze everything

23
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,500
through that colored lens.
At the simplest level.

24
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,700
If we are at peace nonreactive
to impulses that impinge upon us

25
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200
and have a quiet calm, view of
things.

26
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,700
We can expect the progress
towards purification can be made

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,500
while if we are upset
frustrated, angry and raged

28
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:17,500
passionate, fearful, or
overwhelmed by any other action,

29
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:22,400
which ripples the Mind stuff, We
can observe, where work toward

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,600
purification can be fruitful a
clear, mind can be a great help.

31
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400
In the purification of the other
members of the being, which is

32
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,300
why the idea of rooting around
in the subconscious, or the

33
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:39,600
unconscious and raising up all
kinds of dark stuff that

34
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,600
resides.
There is not the recommended

35
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,100
approach.
Once the higher aspects of the

36
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:50,300
being are strong and calm, they
can more easily address the

37
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,700
lower impulses that we bring
with us from our subhuman past

38
00:02:54,700 --> 00:03:00,200
evolutionary stage.
SRI aurobindo observes quote.

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
The first necessity of
preparation is the purifying of

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,700
all the members of our being,
especially for The Path of

41
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,100
Knowledge.
The purification of the

42
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:15,800
understanding, the key that
shall open the door of Truth.

43
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,000
And a purified, understanding is
hardly possible without the

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,500
purification of the other
members, a nun purified, heart

45
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,500
and unpurified.
Sense.

46
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,900
And unpurified life.
Confuse the understanding

47
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:38,500
disturbs its data distorts its
conclusions darken.

48
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:44,200
Its seeing miss apply its
knowledge and unpurified

49
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,300
physical system, clogs or chokes
up its action.

50
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,500
There must be an integral
purity.

51
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:52,900
Here.
Also, there is an

52
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:57,500
interdependence for the
purification of each member of,

53
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:01,600
our being profits by the
clarifying of every other, the

54
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,700
progressive tranquilization of
the emotional heart.

55
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,100
Helping for instance, to
purification of the

56
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:12,800
understanding, while equally of
purified, understanding imposes,

57
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,700
calm and light on the turbid and
darkened workings of the get imp

58
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,899
your emotions.
It may even be said that while

59
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:25,300
each member of our being has its
own proper principles of

60
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:29,800
purification yet.
It is the purified understanding

61
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,400
that in man is the most potent
cleanser of his turbid and

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,600
disordered being and most
Sovereign, Lee imposes, their

63
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,700
right working on his other
members.

64
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:45,400
Knowledge says, the Gita is The
Sovereign Purity.

65
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:51,400
Light is the source of you all
clearness and Anthony even as

66
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,800
the darkness of ignorance, is
the cause of all our stumblings
