The Greatest Difficulties Signal the Greatest Strength for the Yogic Practitioner

1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:06,000
When an individual is called to
The Yoga of transformation, he

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,400
comes with all his strengths
weaknesses developed, and latent

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,400
capacities, and habitual ways of
dealing with things, as well as

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:23,100
his familial social economic,
and educational background,

5
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:26,900
these frame.
The starting point for the

6
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:31,500
individuals, yogic practice, As
he begins to shift to the

7
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,200
standpoint of the witness of the
nature, he begins to identify

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,500
issues, patterns, concerns, and
obstacles to the practice.

9
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:46,400
Some of these may be physical
limitations nervous,

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,500
disturbances were emotional or
mental blockages.

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Some may be Perkin, preconceived
ideas or emotional relations

12
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,600
that shut him off in some way
from a wider View and a more

13
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,700
powerful action.
Eventually, he may come to

14
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:09,900
recognize that in actual fact.
There are deep and very specific

15
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:13,500
issues that confront him and
hinder his progress.

16
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,100
For some, it is Vanity or
ambition for others, Greed, for

17
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:25,000
still others, sexual pressures.
For others, a form of laziness,

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,600
or lack of dedication and
concentration.

19
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:32,200
It turns out that these things
can be seen as the greatest

20
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,100
opportunity for the individual
and represent the unique set of

21
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,400
circumstances that individual is
called to work out.

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
As the road to the full
realization.

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,300
The mother notes, quote, the
nature of your difficulty,

24
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,000
indicates the nature of the
victory, you will gain the

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,100
victory.
You will exemplify in yoga.

26
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,500
Thus, if there is a persistent
selfishness, it points to a

27
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:08,000
realization of universality as
your most prominent achievement

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,300
in the future.
And when selfishness is there,

29
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,000
you have also the power to
reverse this very difficulty

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,400
into its Opposite of victory of
utter wideness.

31
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,500
When you have something to
realize you will have in you

32
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,900
just to characteristic which is
the contradiction of that

33
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,800
something.
Face to face with the defect the

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,600
difficulty you say oh I am like
that how awful it is but you

35
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,900
ought to see the truth of the
situation.

36
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:46,000
Say to yourself, my difficulty
shows me clearly what I have

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,800
ultimately to represent to reach
the absolute negation of it

38
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:57,100
quality at the other pole.
This is my mission Even in

39
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,800
ordinary life, we have sometimes
the experience of contraries, he

40
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,600
who is very timid and has no
courage in front of

41
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:11,200
circumstances, proves capable of
bearing the most to one who has

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,600
the aspiration for the Divine,
the difficulty, which is always,

43
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,900
before him is the door, by which
he will attain God in his own

44
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:24,900
individual manner, it is his
particular path towards the

45
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:29,300
Divine realization.
There is also the fact that if

46
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:33,300
somebody has 100 difficulties,
it means he will have a

47
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:38,400
tremendous realization provided.
Of course, there are in him,

48
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,900
patience and endurance and he
keeps the aspiring flame of

49
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:45,700
ogni.
Burning against those defects.

50
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,800
And remember, the grace of the
Divine is generally proportioned

00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:58,200
to your difficulties and quote
