The Complexity and Difficulty of Achieving Complete Sincerity in the Spiritual Path

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:06,700
Sincerity is not as simple as
believing in and meaning what we

2
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,000
say to others, this is what we
ordinarily.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,500
Consider to be sincerity, SRI
aurobindo and the mother have a

4
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,900
much more far-reaching idea of
sincerity relating to the

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,200
practice of yoga in the
furtherance of spiritual growth.

6
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,700
Sincerity represents the
coherence of the entire being

7
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:29,600
around.
The central focus of the

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:35,400
spiritual practice, such that
our thoughts, emotions vital,

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,800
impulses and physical responses,
all adhere to, and support this

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,700
Focus.
This becomes complicated because

11
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:48,300
the human being is made up of
different parts, which each have

12
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,100
their own function, their own
habits, and their own

13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:57,300
long-standing genetic and race
memory to contend with thus,

14
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:03,300
physical wants and needs vital
desires, the hearts emotional

15
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:08,400
responses, the mines processes
all try to achieve their own

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,300
ends, and they do not always
agree with one another.

17
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,400
The mind and the Heart may agree
on a spiritual sadhna, but this

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,800
does not mean that the vital
desires will suddenly agree to

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,800
give way and support the
process.

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,700
Further.
Even if the Mind generally

21
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,600
agrees or the heart, generally
supports, the spiritual sadhna,

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,600
this does not mean that it
always and in all situations

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,600
responds the same way.
What further complicates this is

24
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,400
the role of the vital and it's
desires.

25
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,500
The vital is able to manipulate
the Mind into supporting just

26
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:53,100
about anything and coming up
with plausible rationales for

27
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:56,500
why one does.
What one does even if it at

28
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:02,200
bottom contradicts the true
spiritual aspiration, SRI

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,200
aurobindo observes quote, men
are always mixed and there are

30
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,699
qualities and defects mingled
together almost any strict

31
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:14,600
kablooey in their nature.
What a man wants to be, or wants

32
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
others to see in him or what he
is.

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,200
Sometimes, on one side of his
nature, or in some relations can

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,900
be very different from what he
is, in the actual fact, or in

35
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:30,500
other relations, or on another
side of his nature.

36
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,600
To be absolutely sincere
straightforward open is not an

37
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,700
easy achievement for human
nature.

38
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:45,200
It is only by spiritual Endeavor
that one can realize it and to

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,300
do it needs a severity of
introspective self vision and

40
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:53,700
unsparing scrutiny of
self-observation of which many

41
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,100
sadhaks and yogis even are not
capable.
