Is It Realistic to Expect Instant Transformation of Human Nature?

1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,500
We live in a time where we
expect everything to happen,

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,500
instantly, we want to take a
pill and Achieve instant

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,800
Enlightenment.
Life is speeding up with

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,500
enhancements to Communications
travel and devices that make us

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:23,200
react faster everyday.
Life itself seems to have

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,300
speeded up and days disappear
quickly.

7
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:31,300
It is no wonder then that we
seem to be Be more impatient.

8
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:36,300
And even when it comes to
spiritual practice, we expect

9
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,800
immediate results.
We must reckon with the fact

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,100
that it is taken many Millennia
of evolution to develop the

11
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:50,800
current state of humanity.
Our instincts habits reactive

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,300
impulses Etc, If we choose to
transform these long-standing

13
00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:00,600
predilections, rather than,
simply find a way to abandon

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,500
life, and The Human Condition,
we must appreciate that.

15
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:09,300
We are not going to be able to
change all these unconscious,

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,900
subconscious semi-conscious, or
reactive responses, right away

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,900
to accomplish this.
Even in one lifetime would be

18
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:26,000
considered, miraculous.
What is then required as a

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,800
patient and persistent effort?
Without discouragement without

20
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,400
flagging of energy, to move,
forward toward the long-term

21
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,400
transformation, and with
concentration, focus and energy,

22
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,300
address these issues as they
arise within us.

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,200
And at the same time, appreciate
the need for time and therefore,

24
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:56,300
endless amounts of it's there
are those who promise you

25
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:02,100
immediate results take this pill
and be enlightened follow this

26
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:06,900
path and Achieve realization
practice this technique and your

27
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:10,699
life will be revolutionized.
Real change.

28
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:16,800
However, does not work this way.
SRI, aurobindo notes, quote.

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,300
It is certain that an Ardent
aspiration for the Divine helps

30
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:27,100
one to progress, but patience is
also needed for.

31
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:31,400
It is a very big change that has
to be made and although there

32
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,300
can be moments of great
rapidity, it is never all the

33
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:39,300
time.
Like that old things try to

34
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:43,300
stick as Much as possible.
The new that come have to

35
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,700
develop and the Consciousness
takes time to assimilate them

36
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,300
and make them normal to the
nature.

37
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,400
The sadhna is a difficult one in
time, should not be grudged.

38
00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:00,700
It is only in the last stages
that are very great and constant

39
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:05,500
repetitive progress can be
confidently, expected.

40
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,400
Determination is needed and
affirm patient's not to be

41
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
discouraged by this or that
failure.

42
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:17,800
It is a change in the habit of
the physical nature.

43
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,100
And that needs a long patient
work of detail and quote
