The Individual Seeker and the Best Path Forward in the Practice of the Yoga

1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:05,800
As each individual tries to
understand his life and purpose,

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,900
he begins a process of
observation review, and

3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:15,500
experimentation.
At this stage, many Seekers have

4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:20,200
little clue about the path.
That is best suited for them and

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,000
they may try to find out
different approaches.

6
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,500
Once a path has been identified,
they believe in many cases, this

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,700
is the best path and they begin
to recommend it to others.

8
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:37,200
It is however frequently the
case that what suits one

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,100
individual will not suit the
next one.

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Either there is a temperamental
difference, a developmental

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,000
difference, or a different
starting point where life,

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,200
circumstance, that requires each
to find his own unique Way

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Forward.
And follow his own path to

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,300
realization and transformation
of the nature.

15
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:04,400
Thus, there is no one absolute
Way Forward and each path has

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,300
its own obstacles and
difficulties along the way and

17
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:12,400
relies on different aspects of
the being To progress along the

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,400
way, the common theme is the
need to overcome the basic

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,400
limitations of the human
individual as presently

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,400
constituted with the drag of the
physical limitations, the

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,500
workings of desire and the vital
nature and the limits of the

22
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,200
mentality.
And it's narrow and very limited

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,600
view as well as its openness to
the influence of the desire,

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,800
soul to bias the decisions, it
makes worse.

25
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:45,200
Supports the mother writes
quote.

26
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:49,900
Everyone must follow his path in
accordance with his own nature.

27
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:54,300
And there is always a preference
for one way rather than another

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,600
For one who follows the path of
action, it is much more

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,600
difficult to feel that the human
personality does not exist.

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,400
And that only the Divine Force
works For one who follows The

31
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,300
Path of Knowledge, it is
relatively very easy.

32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,200
It is something one, discovers
almost immediately for one who

33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,700
follows the path of love, it is
Elementary since it is by giving

34
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:24,200
himself that he progresses.
But for one who follows the path

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,500
of action, it is much more
difficult and consequently for

36
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,200
him, the first step is to do
what is said, here in the

37
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,800
passage of the synthesis of
yoga, which we have just read To

38
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,000
create and himself this complete
Detachment from the fruit of

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,900
action to act because this is
what must be done to do it in

40
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:49,300
the best possible way and not to
be anxious about the

41
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:53,600
consequences to leave the
consequences to a will higher

42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,200
than his own.
SRI aurobindo writes in the

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,000
synthesis of yoga.
It is then by a transformation

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,500
of life and it's very principled
not by an external manipulation

45
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:11,000
of its phenomena that the
integral yoga proposes to change

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,100
it from a troubled and ignorant
into a luminous and harmonious

47
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,300
movement of nature.
There are three conditions which

48
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,200
are indispensable for the
achievement of this Central.

49
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Inner Revolution and a new
formation, none of them is

50
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,500
altogether.
Sufficient in itself.

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
But by their United threefold
Power.

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,500
The uplifting can be done.
The conversion made and

53
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:43,400
completely made for first life
as it is is a movement of desire

54
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:46,100
and it has built-in us as its
Center.

55
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,000
A desire Soul?
Which refers to itself all the

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Motions of life and puts in
them.

57
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,800
Its own troubled Hue and pain of
an ignorant half-lit baffled

58
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,600
endeavor.
For a Divine living, desire must

59
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,800
be abolished and replaced by a
pure and firmer Motive Power.

60
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,900
The tormented soul of Desire
dissolved and in its stead,

61
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,700
there must emerge.
The calm strength happiness of a

62
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,399
true vital being now, concealed
within us.

63
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,800
Next life as it is, is driven or
LED partly by the impulse of the

64
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,500
life-force partly, by a mind,
which is mostly a servant and a

65
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,600
better of the ignorant life
impulse.

66
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,900
But in part also it's uneasy and
not to luminous or competent

67
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:43,100
guide and Mentor for Divine
Life.

68
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,400
The mind and the life impulse
must cease to be anything but

69
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,400
instruments and the inmost
psychic being must take their

70
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,800
place.
As the leader on the path and

71
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,300
the indicator of a Divine
guidance.

72
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,700
Last life as it is, is turn
towards the satisfaction of the

73
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:06,900
separate of ego, ego must
disappear and be replaced by the

74
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:11,300
true spiritual person.
The central being and life

75
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:15,400
itself must be turned towards
the Fulfillment of the Divine in

76
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,000
terrestrial existence.
It must feel a Divine Force

77
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,700
awaken within it and become an
obedient instrumentation of its

78
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:29,800
purpose.
The mother continues quote.

79
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,700
One can't make a general rule
for the order of importance of

80
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:37,000
the paths.
It is an exclusively personal

81
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Affair and there is a time when
one understands very well it is

82
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,800
apparent that no two paths are
alike.

83
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:50,700
No two paths can be alike.
And that every man follows his

84
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:56,800
own path and that this is the
truth of his being one can.

85
00:05:56,900 --> 00:06:00,600
If one looks from a sufficient
height, see a difference in the

86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,900
speed of advance.
But it does not always conform

87
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,500
to the external signs and one
could say a little humorously

88
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:16,400
that it is not always the wisest
who goes fastest and quote
