Sincerity Is the Only Protection in the Development of the Spiritual Life

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,100
if we consider what the most
important quality is for

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:09,600
progress in spiritual growth, we
generally come up with a number

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,000
of different ideas, including
devotion strong mind, or will

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Faith dedication aspiration We
rarely named sincerity thus the

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,700
quality most required.
Yet the mother stresses the

6
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,300
importance of this generally
underrated quality without

7
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:35,700
sincerity all the other
qualities tend to fail at some

8
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:40,200
point.
A disciple asks what is the

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,300
fundamental virtue to be
cultivated in order to prepare

10
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:48,700
for the spiritual life?
The mother writes quote, I have

11
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,500
said this many times, but this
is an opportunity to repeat it.

12
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,900
It is sincerity a sincerity
which must become total and

13
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:03,800
absolute for sincerity alone is
your protection on the spiritual

14
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,700
path.
If you are not sincere at the

15
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:11,200
very next step, you are sure to
fall and break your head.

16
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:17,500
All kinds of forces.
Whilst influences entities are

17
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,100
there on the lookout for the
least little Rift in the

18
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,300
sincerity, and they immediately
rush in through that Rift and

19
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:28,400
begin to throw you into
confusion.

20
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:34,200
Therefore before, doing anything
you getting anything, trying

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,400
anything be sure.
First of all, that you are not

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,600
only as sincere as you can be.
But have the intention of

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,300
becoming still more.
So for that is your only

24
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:51,200
protection.
SRI, aurobindo clarifies.

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,800
What sincerity is quote?
Sincere is simply an adjective.

26
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Meaning that the will must be a
true will, if you simply think I

27
00:02:02,808 --> 00:02:06,400
Aspire and do things
inconsistent with the

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,900
aspiration, or follow your
desires or open yourself to

29
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,900
contrary influences, then it is
not a sincere.

Will In quote, reference SRI
