00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,100
As long as we remain rooted in
the awareness of Mind, life
2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:11,700
body, we see the world and our
existence as a fragmented
3
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:17,800
collection of separate objects
beings and forces, and we act,
4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,000
as if we are separate and
distinct from everything else,
5
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:26,700
the spiritual transformation of
Consciousness, involves a shift
6
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,500
of standpoint to, that of
Oneness.
7
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:35,900
We can see and experience the
unity of the entire creation and
8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,400
can act from the deeper
intention of that unified
9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,200
existence.
The lynchpin of the change in
10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,400
Awareness is the shift from the
surface being of Mind, life body
11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,500
to the inmost, being the sole or
psychic being which is the
12
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:59,200
aspect within us that is in
touch with the Divine and which
13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000
thereby allows us us to
transcend the surface ego
14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,800
consciousness.
Dr. Dalal writes quote in
15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,000
spiritual experience.
There exists One, Soul being
16
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:16,900
one, sole existence, which
Embraces all beings and existing
17
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,900
things in the universe and which
in spiritual realization is
18
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:26,000
experienced as the oneself of
all things and creatures.
19
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:31,800
But in our ordinary experience,
we perceive the world as
20
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,300
inhabited, by a plurality of
beings and things existing,
21
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:41,700
outside what we felt to be our
self, this is because our true
22
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:46,900
self described previously.
As the purusa, who is one with
23
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:51,200
the self of all things and
beings has identified itself
24
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,800
through ignorance with prakruti,
its outer instrumental Nature
25
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,100
Made.
Tup of body life and mind this
26
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:04,000
identification of purusa with
prakruti has led to the
27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,699
formation in US of an ego
physical, vital and mental,
28
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,200
which gives us the sense of a
self that is separate from the
29
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,100
rest of the universe.
Thus, it is the ego that gives
30
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:22,400
rise to the distinction,
ingrained, in our ordinary
31
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,300
Consciousness between, what we
feel to br, Yourself and the
32
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,600
rest of the universe, which is
perceived as not self.
33
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:40,100
Also, it is the ego physical
vital and mental, which due to
34
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:44,700
its complexity and heterogeneity
leads to the formation of
35
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:48,800
multiple selves, or
personalities, causing division,
36
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:55,100
conflict, disharmony, and
disorganization in our outer
37
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:59,900
being Harmonization.
And unification of the outer
38
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:05,200
being can be brought about only
by discovering our inmost, being
39
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:11,700
chaitanya, purusa or the psychic
being and organizing the outer
40
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:16,700
being around the psychic as its
Center and governing principle.
41
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:22,000
The aim of spiritual quest in
the past has generally been to
42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200
obtain Liberation from the
bondage to suffering caused by
43
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,300
the illusory sense of a separate
self.
44
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,300
The ego and thereby escape from
the Perpetual cycle of birth and
45
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:39,300
death.
According to Sri aurobindo the
46
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,900
farther goal of spiritual
Evolution Beyond Liberation
47
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:47,400
consists in the transformation
of the instruments of the
48
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
spirit.
It's mine life and body.
49
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,100
So as to establish the kingdom
of the spirit on Earth, it is
50
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:00,800
when the outer being is Unified
and governed by the psychic
51
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,200
being that the transformation of
Mind life and body becomes
52
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,800
possible as SRI.
Aurobindo State quote, the
53
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,800
psychic being supports the Mind.
Vital body Grows by their
54
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,899
experiences carries the Teacher
from Life To Life.
55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,300
At first, it is veiled by mind
vital and body.
56
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:29,600
But as it grows, it becomes
capable of coming forward and
57
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,300
dominating the Mind, life and
Body in the ordinary man.
58
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:38,300
It depends on them for
expression and is not able to
59
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,400
take them up and freely use
them.
60
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:45,900
The life of the being is animal
or human and not divine.
61
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,400
When the psychic being can buy
sadhna, become dominant and
62
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,500
freely.
Use its instruments.
63
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,300
Then the impulse towards the
Divine becomes complete and the
64
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:03,500
transformation of Mind, vital
and body, not merely their
65
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:11,200
Liberation becomes possible and
