The Growth of the Soul

1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:06,900
We become so used to all of the
dark Tendencies hurtful energies

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,900
and bad faith.
Displayed throughout the world

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,200
that we sometimes believe that
this is the unchanging way.

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,300
That life is meant to be.
What we often do not see is the

5
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:25,500
secret evolutionary development
of the Soul through time and

6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,700
Circumstance as it weaves its
way through its various

7
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,100
lifetimes of growth and
development.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,700
And the interactions that occur
with those who are at different

9
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:41,500
stages in their own evolutionary
progression, all of which

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,700
together creates the mixed
energetic reality, that we see

11
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,500
around us.
Sometimes we believe that what

12
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:54,200
we see around us the way people
act and respond.

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,100
The terrible energetic
relationships of jealousy, Envy

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:06,600
hatred lust greed, misogyny
racism bullying, lying

15
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:11,700
self-dealing are simply the way
to act and respond when

16
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,200
confronted with difficult
situations.

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Yet for those who have begun the
spiritual Quest, it soon becomes

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000
clear that such actions and
reactions are temporary

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,700
transitory.
Phenomena of a stage of

20
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,200
evolution through which Humanity
collectively is passing.

21
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,100
And that just as there are
people who embody these

22
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,900
Tendencies.
There are also those who are

23
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:43,200
advancing and moving beyond the
framework within which these

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,500
things occur.
The choice for the spiritual

25
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,100
Seeker who does not want to
interact in.

26
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,500
These ways comes down to either
avoidance through withdrawal

27
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:59,600
from the world or conscious
adoption of new ways of relating

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,100
to society and the World At
Large.

29
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:07,400
In the past spiritual aspirants
are frequently chosen the path

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,000
of withdrawal from the world to
further their individual

31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,800
spiritual Liberation.
Many of them have found solace.

32
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,200
While others have recognized
that they continue to carry the

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,100
world with them wherever they go
until they work through and

34
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:30,100
change the thoughts.
Emotions vital responses habits

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,800
reactions that occur.
Within their all-too-human

36
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,100
frame.
Three aurobindo and the mother

37
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,900
focus on The View that in the
evolutionary cycle, the

38
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:46,600
transition to a higher spiritual
energetic, status can, and does

39
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,400
come about as the secret turns
his Focus, towards the

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,900
expressions of the higher forces
that manifest as light Harmony

41
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:02,300
Joy, Goodwill compassion, Etc.
These expressions are the

42
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,000
essential response of the
psychic being the sole that

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
carries out the evolution of
Consciousness through time and

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
across multiple lifetimes, as
the soul increases in, its

45
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,500
ability to manage the Mind life
body, complex, and make its

46
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,700
natural choices for the higher
energies that are available to

47
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,200
counteract.
The darkness.

48
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:29,200
It begins to take a lead role in
working to change the

49
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,300
heretofore.
Standard human nature into what

50
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:39,800
we may call the divine nature.
SRI aurobindo observes quote.

51
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:44,200
It is the stolen us, which turns
always towards truth.

52
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,100
Good and Beauty because it is by
these things that it itself

53
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:56,000
grows in stature the rest, their
opposites are necessary, part of

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,900
experience, but have to be
outgrown in the spiritual

55
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:04,600
increase of the being The
fundamental psychic entity in

56
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,800
us, has the Delight of life and
all experience as part of the

57
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,100
progressive, manifestation of
the spirit, but the very

58
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:19,300
principle of its Delight of life
is to gather out of all contacts

59
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,200
and happenings their secret
Divine sense and Essence, a

60
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,700
Divine use and purpose.
So that by experience our mind

61
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:34,900
and life may grow out of the the
in conscience towards a supreme

62
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:38,800
Consciousness out of the
divisions of the ignorance

63
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,800
towards an integral izing,
Consciousness and knowledge.

64
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,900
It is therefore that and it
pursues from life to life.

65
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:54,400
It's ever increasing upward
tendency and insistence the

66
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,100
growth of the soul is a growth
out of Darkness into light out

67
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:04,700
of falsehood, into truth out of
suffering, into its own Supreme
