Spiritual Realisation Goes Beyond All Scriptures

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:07,100
We live in a dynamic evolving
Universe, not one that is static

2
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,400
and unchanging.
All teachings of the past.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,300
Therefore have their limitations
in his essays on the Gita SRI

4
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:20,600
aurobindo reminds us that all
scriptures have both a temporal

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,700
element specific to their time
and their circumstances, and an

6
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,900
eternal element, which speaks to
the principles or truths of

7
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:35,000
existence and are not limited by
immediate societal ideas or

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,100
norms.
Even the most universal of past

9
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:42,800
teachings, tends to have their
limits in so far as they are a

10
00:00:42,808 --> 00:00:47,600
product of The evolutionary
status and trend of the time of

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,600
their creation and cannot
thereby fully incorporate and

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,100
communicate the elements
specific to the Future evolution

13
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:59,700
of Consciousness, and
development of the universal

14
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,200
manifestation, it would be
relatively useless for them to

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,700
focus on Concepts and
directions.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,600
That have no obvious basis in
the time and Social Development

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,800
in which they arise.
It is therefore essential that

18
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,300
the practitioner of the integral
yoga with a goal that

19
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,900
transcends, the specific
directed objectives of many,

20
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:28,800
other Paths of spiritual growth,
understand and be prepared to go

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,500
beyond the scope and limits of
the scriptures of the past.

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Even as do cognizance is given
to their aid along the way and

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,600
their value as signposts in the
long process of evolution.

24
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:44,800
Evolutionary growth and
development.

25
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:49,900
Spiritual realization comes not
from a book, or a specific

26
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:55,200
teaching, but from experience
and a process of growth and

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,700
maturation.
SRI, aurobindo observes, quote,

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,700
for the Sadiq of the integral
yoga.

29
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:06,200
It is necessary to remember that
no written shastra.

30
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,100
However, great its Authority or
however, large it Spirit can be

31
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:15,600
more than a partial expression
of the Eternal knowledge.

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,600
He will use, but never bind
himself even by the greatest

33
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,700
scripture where the scripture is
profound wide Catholic.

34
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,000
It may exercise upon him and
influence for the highest good

35
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:36,800
and of incalculable importance.
It may be associated in his

36
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,500
experience with his Awakening to
crowning verities and his

37
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,200
realization of the highest
experiences.

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,100
His yoga may be governed for a
long time by one scripture or by

39
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:53,700
several successively. if it is
in the line of the great Hindu

40
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,600
tradition by the Gita, for
example, the upanishads the

41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Veda, Or it may be a good part
of his development to include in

42
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,300
its material.
A richly varied experience of

43
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:11,700
the truths of many scriptures
and make the future opulent with

44
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:15,400
all.
That is best in the past but in

45
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,300
the end he must take his station
or better still if he can always

46
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,300
and from the beginning he must
live in his soul beyond the

47
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,900
written truth.
Shoved.

the Sadiq of a book or of many

He is a Sadiq of the infinite.
