00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,500
With careful observation, we can
understand that an individual's
2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:10,200
greatest weaknesses and
difficulties represent the
3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,600
opportunity and specific need
for Progress.
4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,600
For spiritual growth.
Each individual faces, his own
5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,700
unique challenges in many cases,
the Confluence of the souls
6
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:29,100
pressure, the outer societal,
expectations and framework The
7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,900
circumstances into which one is
born, even physical hereditary
8
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,700
factors will create for the
soul.
9
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:41,700
The specific Focus that needs to
be delved into for substantive
10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
long-term, progress to take
place.
11
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:51,100
The progress has both its
Dynamic developmental aspect and
12
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:53,700
it's integration and
consolidation phase.
13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,900
The developmental aspect
represents the spiritual
14
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:03,400
experience, Has the progress,
the inner growth, the aspiration
15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,900
of the individual sold.
The consolidation effort needs
16
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:13,600
to incorporate the insights, the
progress, the aspiration into
17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,800
the rest of the being and
stabilize it there, this can
18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,600
only be done.
If the effort is made to review
19
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,100
and clear out old habits,
predilections instincts, and
20
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:32,000
reactions from Outer being.
This is the process of
21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,400
purification that tree aurobindo
and the mother described.
22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,800
The mother writes quote, I have
known people many, not only a
23
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,600
few, I mean, among those who do
yoga, I have known many who,
24
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,200
every time they had a fine
aspiration, and their aspiration
25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,500
was very strong.
And they received an answer to
26
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:02,100
this aspiration every time the
very same day, or at the latest
27
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,700
the next day.
They had a complete set back of
28
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:10,300
Consciousness and were facing
the exact opposite of their
29
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:15,100
aspiration such things happen.
Almost constantly.
30
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,800
Well, these people have
developed, only the positive
31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,900
side, they make a kind of
discipline of aspiration.
32
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:27,300
They ask for help, they try to
come into contact with higher
33
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:33,100
forces, they succeed in this,
they have experiences but they
34
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,800
have completely neglected,
cleaning their room, it has
35
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,100
remained dirty.
I as ever and so naturally when
36
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:45,800
the experience is God, this dirt
become still more repulsive than
37
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
before.
One must never neglect to clean
38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,500
ones room.
As it is very important in her
39
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,900
cleanliness is at least as
important as outer cleanliness.

00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Vivekananda has written.
I don't know.

The original.
I have only read the French
42
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:07,600
translation.
One, must every morning, clean
43
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,800
one, soul and one's body.
But if you don't have time for
44
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,200
both, It is better to clean the
soul, then clean the body.
