00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,040
We observe in nature that
certain plants turn towards the

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,080
sun and follow the sun's
position in the sky throughout

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,960
the day.
This phenomenon, heliotropism,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,040
is based on certain sensor cells
in these plants that identify

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,000
the location of the light and
automatically Orient themselves

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,960
towards it.
Sunflowers, daisies, and others

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,720
are known to display this
phenomenon.

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,120
The psychic being has a similar
focus as it is drawn

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,640
automatically toward the light,
the truth of existence, and all

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,040
that is good, beautiful, and
uplifting to the spirit.

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,960
The connection between the
psychic being and the spiritual

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,000
truth of existence is based on
oneness.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,920
We could say that there is a
type of quantum entanglement

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,200
between the psychic being and
the spiritual truth of

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,200
existence, such that there is an
automatic flow of energy that

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,760
provides the psychic being with
an innate sense of the truth and

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,959
significance of its existence.
As the psychic being develops,

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,120
it is thereby able to
distinguish truth from

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,120
falsehood, light from darkness,
just as the swan is symbolically

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,360
said to be able to separate milk
from water, Sviorobindo

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,720
observes.
Quote.

22
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:24,920
It is the soul in US which turns
always towards truth, good and

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,240
beauty, because it is by these
things that it itself grows in

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,280
stature.
The rest, their opposites, are a

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,520
necessary part of experience,
but have to be outgrown in the

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,120
spiritual increase of the being.
The fundamental psychic entity

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,320
in US has the delight of life
and all experience as part of

28
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,800
the progressive manifestation of
the Spirit.

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,960
But the very principle of its
delight of life is to gather out

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,440
of all contacts and happenings
their secret divine sense and

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,400
essence, a divine use and
purpose, so that by experience

32
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440
our mind and life may grow out
of the inconscience, towards a

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,600
supreme consciousness, out of
the divisions of the ignorance,

34
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,240
towards an integralizing
consciousness and knowledge.

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,040
It is there for that, and it
pursues from life to life its

36
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,600
ever increasing upward tendency
and insistence.

37
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,560
The growth of the soul is a
growth out of darkness into

38
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,160
light, out of falsehood into
truth, out of suffering, into

39
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,760
its own supreme and universal
Ananda.

40
