The Divine Grace By Any Other Name…

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,400
It is human nature to want to
categorize and pigeonhole what

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,000
happens?
And make developments fit into

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,600
definitions of our choosing.
The same thing occurs when we

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,700
look at openings of the
spiritual nature and the

5
00:00:15,708 --> 00:00:21,000
development of or transformation
of Consciousness, not only do we

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
want to Define and categorize
but we want to Overlay, our own

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,300
preferred View and methods on to
other people and use that

8
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,100
template to try to understand
and judge others, their

9
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:37,600
spiritual practice and their
inner development.

10
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,400
SRI aurobindo reminds us that
each individual has his own way

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,500
to the realization, and we
cannot there by either judge,

12
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,600
that individuals progress in or
force them to accept our

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:56,000
definitions endless disputes can
thus be avoided SRI.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Aurobindo provides.
The example of how we understand

15
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:03,700
divine grace, those who do not
accept intellectually.

16
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:08,400
Any form of personal Divinity
will not accept the concept of

17
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:11,800
Divine grace looked at from
their Viewpoint.

18
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,700
However, SRI aurobindo finds a
way to reconcile.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
The Viewpoint of those who
accept a personal form of the

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,300
Divine and those who do not The
important thing here is not the

21
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:29,400
label, the definition, the
framework of understanding, but

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
the reality of an opening, and a
transformation of Consciousness,

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,100
however, it occurs through
whatever method attained, the

24
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,700
change is welcomed and
recognized as part of the

25
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,700
evolutionary development within
which all are involved.

26
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:53,600
SRI aurobindo, observes, quote,
each mind can have its own way

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,300
of approaching the Supreme truth
and there is an entrance for

28
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,900
each as well as a thousand ways
for the journey to it.

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,000
It is not necessary to believe
in the grace were to recognize a

30
00:02:06,008 --> 00:02:08,900
godhead different from one's
highest self.

31
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:12,700
There are ways of yoga that do
not accept these things.

32
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,500
Also for many, no form of yoga
is necessary.

33
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:21,600
They arrived at some realization
by a sort of pressure of the

34
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,800
mind or the heart or the will
Breaking the screen between it,

35
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,800
and what is it, once Beyond it
and it's on source.

36
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600
What happens after the breaking
of the screen?

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,500
Depends on the play of the
truth, on the Consciousness and

38
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,800
the turn of the nature.
There is no reason.

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,100
Therefore, y x is realization of
his being should not come, and

40
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:49,200
its own way by growth from
within not by the divine grace,

41
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,100
if his mind, objects-- to that
description.

42
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,700
But let us say by the
spontaneous movement of the self

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,000
within him for as to This Grace,
we describe it in that way

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,400
because we feel in the infinite
Spirit or self-existence, a

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,400
presence, or a being a
Consciousness that determines,

46
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,800
that is what we speak of, as the
Divine, not as separate person.

47
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:21,200
But the one being of whom our
individual self is a portion or

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,600
a vessel.
But it is not necessary for

49
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,100
everybody to regard it that way.
Supposing.

50
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,900
It is the impersonal self of all
only.

51
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:35,000
Yet, the upanishads says of this
self and its realization.

52
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,000
This understanding is not to be
gained by reasoning nor by

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,300
tapasya, nor by much learning,
but whom this self chooses to

54
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:50,700
him, it reveals its own body.
Well, that is the same thing.

55
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,800
As what we call the divine
grace, we can call it the self

56
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,500
within choosing its own hour,
and the way to manifest to the

57
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:02,100
mental instrument, on the
surface, we can call it the

58
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,700
flowering of the inner being or
inner nature into

59
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:08,800
self-realization and
self-knowledge as something in

60
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,500
US approaches it or as it
presents itself to us.

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,500
So, the Mind sees it, but in
reality, it is the same thing

62
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,700
and the same.
Process of the being in nature
