00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,800
What exactly is the meaning of
sincerity in the context of the
2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,800
integral yoga and what makes it
so essential to the successful
3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,700
practice of this yoga?
For most people sincerity is a
4
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:21,400
quality defined by adherence to
a specific idea or belief and a
5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,300
direct translation of that
belief into the external being
6
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:28,000
in its relationships to the
world.
7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,100
In other words, it is seen as a
transactional quality for
8
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:38,000
interacting with others without
duplicity or any form of
9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,900
intended DC in the integral
yoga.
10
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:45,900
However, sincerity is an inward
quality of creating coherence
11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,500
between the souls aspiration,
the mines knowledge, the action
12
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,500
of the Life Energy and even the
responses of the body
13
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,600
consciousness, The usual human
form of sincerity and dealing
14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,800
with others is, of course, a
natural consequence, but it
15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,700
represents only a small part of
the quality of sincerity and its
16
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,300
action in the life of the
practitioner of the yoga.
17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,600
One of the biggest obstacles to
achieving sincerity in the being
18
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,400
is the ability of the vital
nature, to get the mind to
19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,700
justify just about anything it
desires.
20
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:32,400
Plus sincerity is undermined by
this Dynamic and many things are
21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,500
done which are contrary to the
yogic development.
22
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,800
When the psychic being is
active, it can see through this
23
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,100
process and provide the Seeker,
both Clarity and direction in,
