The Development of the Human Being and the Transcendence of the Human Being: Personal Growth and Inner Growth Defined

1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:06,100
Personal growth and integrals
the enhancement of the human

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:11,100
being and its capabilities and
the Transcendence of the human

3
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:15,600
being to develop a being awake
and active, with a new level of

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,800
Consciousness are not in
conflict, with one another, the

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,700
human being must develop to a
certain degree to truly

6
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:27,600
effectuate, the Necessities for
Transcendence.

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,600
At the same time, in the
integral yoga where the purpose

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,200
is not abandonment of life, but
the transformation of Life, the

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,000
two processes actually go
hand-in-hand and complement one

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,600
another dr.
Dalal observes quote, the

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000
difference from the Viewpoint of
yoga between personal growth and

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,100
inner growth, may be restated in
somewhat different words.

13
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:59,000
Thus personal growth consists in
the development of the

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,700
individual as a human being,
whereas inner growth, which is

15
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:08,000
the aim of yoga lies in
transforming, and transcending

16
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:15,100
the human state of consciousness
SRI aurobindo writes quote yoga

17
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:19,200
is not Perfection of the human
nature as it is but a psychic

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,500
and spiritual transformation of
all the parts of the being

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,700
through the action of an inner
Consciousness and then of a

20
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,700
higher Consciousness which works
on them, throws out their old

21
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:35,100
movements or changes them into
the image of its own.

22
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,800
And so transmutes lower into
higher nature.

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
It is not so much the Perfection
of the intellect as a

24
00:01:43,008 --> 00:01:47,600
Transcendence of it, the
transformation of the Mind, the

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,200
substitution of a larger greater
principle of knowledge.

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,300
And so, with all the rest of the
being and quote, the mother adds

27
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:01,400
quote, the higher Perfection is
the spiritual Perfection.

28
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Integral Union with the Divine
identification with the Divine

29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,600
freedom from all the limitations
of the lower.

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,700
World that is spiritual
Perfection.

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,300
The Perfection that comes from
yoga.

32
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,200
And the lower Perfection is to
be able to make the human being

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,200
in his present form and in his
body, in his relation with all

34
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,100
terrestrial things, do the
utmost.

35
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,200
He can.
This is the case of all Great,

36
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,500
Men of Genius, artistic genius,
literary, genius, genius and

37
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,300
organization.
The great rulers, those who have

38
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:45,000
carried physical capacities to
their maximum perfection.

39
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,100
Human development to the limit
of its possibilities.

40
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,700
And from every point of view,
from the point of view of

41
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:58,700
physical strength of
intellectual, realization of the

42
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:03,800
physical qualities of energy,
and courage of disinterestedness

43
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,100
goodness, charity, all human
qualities.

44
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:13,900
Carried to their utmost limits,
that is the lower Perfection and

45
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:19,000
quote.
Dr. Dalal concludes quote, an

46
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400
important point to note in the
above quoted passage, is that

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,600
even moral development, which is
often confused with spirituality

48
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,300
is part of growth that belongs
to the human state.

49
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,300
It does not constitute inner
growth, which aims at a state of

50
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:42,400
the being beyond the human ego
