The Light and the Shadow in Each Individual Being

1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:06,300
It is easy to see the failings
of others while overlooking the

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,000
issues within oneself.
Jesus in his famous, Sermon on

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
the Mount recounted in the New
Testament of the Bible exhorted.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
His followers to not judge
others, but to look within and

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,900
noted quote, and why beholdest
thou?

6
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,600
The mote that is in thy
brother's eye, but considerest

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,800
not the beam that is in. and I
own, I and quote, for the

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,500
spiritual practitioner, there is
a recognition that changing

9
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:43,300
human nature takes place within
oneself, not by controlling, or

10
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:48,000
overpowering others, but by
effectuating, change in the

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,700
thoughts, emotions feelings,
actions and responses one has

12
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:58,000
two energies and events and
relations that impact one's own

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
life.
This is a constant ongoing

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,000
matter of review and change as
there are numerous aspects to

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,600
the being and they do not all
agree with one another and

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,900
sometimes vary from moment to
moment themselves.

17
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:19,400
Plus a constant observation and
vigilance is required.

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,500
The more one does this inner
review and the more one

19
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,400
recognizes the issues that lie
within oneself, the less apt one

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,000
is to judge others harshly or
condemn others for their

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,300
actions.
The mother writes quote one can

22
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:42,000
see when one studies oneself,
very attentively, for example,

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
if You observe yourself, you see
that one day you are very

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,800
generous, generous in your
feelings.

25
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:52,600
Generous in your Sensations,
generous in your thoughts.

26
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,400
And even in material things that
is, you understand the faults of

27
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,100
others, their intentions
weaknesses, even nasty

28
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:04,800
movements.
You see all this And you are

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,200
full of good feelings of
generosity.

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,800
You tell yourself.
Well everyone does the best.

31
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,700
He can like that another day or
perhaps the.

32
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:20,500
Very next minute, you will
notice in yourself a kind of

33
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:24,300
dryness fixity.
Something that is bitter.

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,900
The judges severely that goes as
far as bearing, a grudge has

35
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,900
rank or would like the evildoer
punished that almost has

36
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:40,800
feelings of Vengeance, just a
very opposite of the former One

37
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,900
day, someone harms you and you
say doesn't matter.

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,400
He did not know or he couldn't
do otherwise or that's his

39
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,400
nature.
Or he could not understand the

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200
next day or perhaps an hour
later.

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,200
You say, he must be punished, he
must pay for it.

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,100
He must be made to feel that he
has done wrong with a kind of

43
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,600
Rage.
And you want to take things you

44
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,500
want to keep them for yourself,
who have all the feelings of

45
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:16,000
jealousy Envy narrowness.
You see, just a very opposite of

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,200
the other feeling And quote,
reference SRI aurobindo, and the

47
