00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,500
And in a central role in the
Spiritual Development, they
3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,100
described the flame of
aspiration.
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,700
The knower of all things.
Born the Mystic fire is the
5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,900
starting point for spiritual
growth.
6
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:24,000
This flame resides in the
psychic.
7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,200
Being the sole hidden deep
within the Mystic Heart Center.
8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
And making itself felt to the
external formation of the Mind
9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,100
life body until eventually.
It becomes the leader of the
10
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,900
powers of the external being
guiding and directing them
11
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:45,100
through multiple births and
countless steps of growth along
12
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:51,000
the way dr.
Dalal notes, quote, in Sri,
13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,300
aurobindo shoga, the Supreme
Consciousness truth or reality
14
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:00,300
is spoken of as the divine As
described by SRI aurobindo
15
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,800
directly quote, the Supreme
Being from whom all have come
16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,300
and in whom all are in the
portion of the Divine
17
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:13,500
Consciousness, which develops in
the process of evolution is
18
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,800
called the soul or the psychic
Essence, it grows and becomes a
19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,700
distinct individuality referred
to.
20
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:25,000
As the psychic being, it is
through the psychic being that
21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,200
the evolutionary dynamism
inherent in the Consciousness
22
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,800
brings about the inner growth of
the individual explaining, the
23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,200
nature of the psychic entity,
and the process of its Evolution
24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:46,700
and quote SRI aurobindo writes,
quote at the beginning, the soul
25
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,500
in nature, the psychic entity,
whose unfolding is the first
26
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:55,300
step towards a spiritual change
is an entirely veiled part of
27
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:57,800
us.
Although, it is that, by which
28
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,600
we exist.
And persist as individual beings
29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,200
in nature, the other parts of
our natural composition are not
30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,900
only mutable but perishable but
the psychic entity in our spur.
31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Persists and is fundamentally
the same always it contains all
32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,600
the essential possibilities of
our manifestation but is not
33
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,600
constituted by them.
It is not limited by what it
34
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,800
manifests not contained by the
incomplete forms of the
35
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,300
manifestation not tarnished by
the imperfections and impurities
36
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:39,800
the defects and deprivations of
the surface being It is an Ever
37
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,200
pure flame of the Divinity and
things and nothing that comes to
38
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,400
it.
Nothing that enters into our
39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,400
experience can pollute, its
Purity or extinguish the flame.
40
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,500
The spiritual stuff is
immaculate and luminous, and
41
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:58,700
because it is perfectly
luminous.
42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,800
It is immediately, intimately
directly aware of truth of being
43
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:10,000
and truth of nature.
It is deeply conscious of Truth
44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
and good and Beauty.
Because truth and good and
45
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Beauty are akin to its own
native character forms of
46
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,200
something that is inherent in
its own substance.
47
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,700
It is aware also of all that
contradicts these things of all
48
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:30,000
that deviates from its own
native character of falsehood
49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,900
and evil and the ugly and the
unseemly.
50
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,100
But it does not become these
things, nor is it.
51
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,400
Touched or Changed by these
opposites of itself which so
52
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,800
powerfully affect its outer
instrumentation of Mind life and
53
