Kindling and Increasing the Psychic Fire

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,300
The flame of aspiration is the
force that powers spiritual

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,700
growth.
Many people believe that the

3
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:13,900
association of a fire or flame
with the psychological stance is

4
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:18,500
purely some kind of poetic
device without any underlying

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:23,100
reality yet.
Human Experience shows us that

6
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,500
various modes of emotion, for
instance, can create a real

7
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:32,700
sense of heat or warmth in the
being or an optical suitcases, a

8
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:37,200
sense of cold or coolness, we
speak of warm-hearted and

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,100
cold-hearted.
Add people for example and this

10
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:45,000
is another instance where the
feeling is real and palpable the

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,400
mother explains us when she
describes the changes that occur

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,600
in the subtle physical body as
the aspiration develops and is

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,500
kindled up into a more intense
form.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
The fire of aspiration has
specific impacts on the being,

15
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,900
it adds focus and intensity to
the cooler logic of the

16
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,600
intellectual Pursuit.
It is age the individual and

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800
overcoming the obstacles that
arise and more subtly to

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,000
persevere through long periods
of Doubt, lack of visible

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,700
progress and the various
temptations that arise to

20
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:27,500
confuse or distract.
The Seeker the path to

21
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:30,700
effectuation of a real and
substantive change to human

22
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:36,200
nature is long and arduous and
it is aspiration, which keeps

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,000
the speaker on the path.
And brings to him, the various

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,300
powers that need to manifest for
the attempt to succeed.

25
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Thus The Vedic rishi's prayed
for the power of aspiration, as

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,900
the first Resort.
And as a constant companion,

27
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:58,200
along the way, who brings here
the gods as we find in the very

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,900
first Hymn of the rig Veda
invoking.

29
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:07,300
The fire of aspiration is needed
as otherwise we tend to live our

30
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,800
lives without a specific
intention for Spiritual

31
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,500
progress.
Seeking for Comforts see going

32
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,800
for entertainment and
distraction seeking for all

33
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,600
manner of external goals, that
do not involve the inner

34
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,300
development associated with
spiritual growth, SRI aurobindo

35
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,500
notes a psychic Fire Within must
be lit.

36
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:37,800
A disciple inquires isn't the
psychic fire always lit.

37
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,100
The mother answers.
It is not always lit.

38
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:46,700
The disciple asks, then how to
light it.

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,800
The mother responds quote by
aspiration by the will for

40
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,500
Progress by The Urge towards
Perfection above all.

41
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,200
It is the will for progress and
self-purification which lights

42
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,000
the fire.
The wheel for Progress, those

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,700
who have a strong will when they
turn it towards spiritual

44
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,800
progress and purification
automatically light, the fire

45
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,900
within themselves And each
defect one wants to cure for

46
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:23,400
each progress, one wants to
make, if all that is thrown into

47
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,900
the fire, it burns with the new
intensity and this is not an

48
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:30,000
image.
There's a fact in the subtle

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,900
physical one can feel the warmth
of the flame when can see in the

50
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,700
subtle, physical the light of
the flame and when there is

51
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:42,500
something in the nature, which
prevents one from advancing and

52
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:47,400
one throws it into this fire, It
begins to burn and the flame

53
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,800
becomes more intense and quote
reference SRI aurobindo and the

54
00:03:53,808 --> 00:03:58,100
mother growing within the
psychology of inner development.
