The Process of Changing Human Nature

1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,200
When we take up the question of
how to go about changing human

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,300
nature, we are confronted with
the difficulty of that attempt,

3
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:16,100
instincts, habits, train
responses, nature, and nurture,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,600
all conspire to maintain the
status quo.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,400
When we attempt to make any
change, we run up against the

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,400
opposition of this status quo
within ourselves.

7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,000
And the fact that the vital
being can influence the mind to

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,400
justify, whatever it wants to
do, even if those things are

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,300
diametrically opposed to The
evolutionary attempt, Albert

10
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,100
Einstein noted at one point that
one cannot solve a problem with

11
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:49,600
the same Consciousness that
created that problem.

12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,300
Thus, it is necessary to
transcend, the framework of the

13
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,800
Mind, life body complex, and
it's a bitch or patterns in

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,000
order to effectuate real and
Lasting change.

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,500
Yet the process of transcendence
is held back by the very nature

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,600
that we would like to modify and
transform.

17
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,300
This situation makes the change
process one that requires

18
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:21,700
patience perseverance and the
shift of standpoint as long as

19
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,200
we remain fixed in the normal
human standpoint rooted in the

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800
body.
Life mind, we cannot expect any

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,200
substantive change to occur
spiritual experiences to the

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,900
extent, they show us the reality
of another level or form of

23
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:41,000
Consciousness are helpful to the
economy.

24
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:46,100
Extent, they support our faith
and widen our understanding at

25
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,000
some point.
However, the Consciousness needs

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,400
to shift to a new basis in the
soul, the psychic being which

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,400
can observe the functioning of
the human instrument and guided

28
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,300
into new directions without
attachment or involvement.

29
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,300
The shift allows the individual
to begin to exercise control

30
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:12,100
over the outer nature and it's a
bitch will actions reactions

31
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:18,200
patterns and processes.
SRI, aurobindo observes, quote

32
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,400
to change.
The nature, is not easy and

33
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,800
always takes time, but if there
is no inner experience, no,

34
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,100
gradual emergence of the other
pure Consciousness that is

35
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,500
concealed by all these things.
You now see it would be almost

36
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,800
impossible, even for the
strongest.

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,800
Will you say that first, you
must get rid of all these

38
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,000
things, then have the inner
experiences, but how is Is that

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,500
to be done these things anger
jealousy?

40
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:55,600
Desire are the very stuff of the
ordinary human vital

41
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600
Consciousness.
They could not be changed.

42
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,100
If they were not a deeper
Consciousness within, which is

43
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:06,900
of quite another character.
There is within you a psychic

44
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:12,200
being which is divine directly,
a part of the mother, pure of

45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,900
all these defects It is covered
and concealed by the ordinary

46
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,600
Consciousness and nature, but
when it is unveiled and able to

47
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,900
come forward and govern the
being, then it changes the

48
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:30,700
ordinary Consciousness throws.
All these on Divine things out

49
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:33,700
and changes the outer nature
altogether.

50
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,200
That is why we want the sadhaks
to concentrate to open this

51
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,200
concealed consciousness.
It Is by concentration of

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,000
whatever kind and the experience
is it brings that one opens and

53
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,600
becomes aware within and the new
Consciousness and nature begin

54
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,700
to grow and come out.
Of course, we want them also to

55
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:02,700
use their will and reject the
desires and wrong movements of

56
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:07,000
the vital for by doing that the
emergency of the true

57
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Consciousness becomes possible,
but rejection alone cannot

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,700
succeed, It Is by rejection, and
by Inner experience and growth

59
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:24,000
that it is done in quote,
