00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,700
The vital ego is attracted to
the excitement of having
2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,100
experiences that are unusual or
powerful.
3
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:13,400
It therefore wants to find ways
to repeat or expand upon them.
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,200
Once they have had such an
experience.
5
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:20,200
In reality.
However, there is very little of
6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,300
long-term value in this
approach, the experiences come
7
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,500
and they go and the individual
remains essentially unchanged
8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,600
other them perhaps being
distracted.
9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Enough to want to chase.
After experiences a spiritual
10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,500
experience can be valuable if it
awakens the Seeker to a
11
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:48,500
possibility or a direction, he
should take It may also be
12
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:53,100
useful if it brings forth a
particular force, that is needed
13
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:55,100
for the transformation of the
nature.
14
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,800
The issue comes down to what the
secret does with this
15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,000
experience, and how he works to
integrate The Beneficial aspects
16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,200
into his life.
There is in that case, a dual
17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,600
process of a cent where the
being Rises to a new level with
18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,200
a new experience and integration
or consolidation where the
19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,400
experience is brought to bear on
the ordinary nature of the
20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,600
individual and work is done to
effectuate.
21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,200
True change in the nature.
Your?
22
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,900
SRI aurobindo declares in his
epic poem savitri and Legend and
23
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:39,100
assemble quote a moment, seize
the ages toil to express end
24
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,700
quote.
It is like that.
25
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,000
The experience, the vision, the
spiritual Force comes and
26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,100
presents itself before the
Seeker.
27
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:53,400
This momentary experience must
then be converted and
28
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,700
implemented to change the mind,
the Life Energy and even the
29
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:02,900
physical body, the
implementation process is not
30
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,900
generally fast or easy.
Requiring considerable effort
31
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,000
over time.
Bolstered by patience and
32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,400
perseverance and grounded in
peace and certitude of the
33
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,900
eventual success.
This certitude is inherent in
34
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:26,000
the soul, the psychic being and
informs its aspiration.
35
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,200
SRI aurobindo writes quote
merely to have experiences of
36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,200
the higher Consciousness will
not change the nature, either
37
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,000
the higher Consciousness has to
make a dynamic descent into the
38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,600
whole being and change it, or it
must establish itself in the
39
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
inner being down to the inner
physical.
40
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,300
So that the latter feels itself
separate from the outer and is
41
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,500
able to act freely upon it.
Or the psychic must come forward
42
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,700
and change the nature.
Or the inner will must awake and
43
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,400
force the nature to change.
These are the four ways in which
44
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,100
change can be brought about.
