The Soul’s Faith Is a Precursor to Attainment of the Truth of Existence

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,500
Faith is generally put in
opposition to knowledge.

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:11,100
Underlying the long-term dispute
in the west between religion and

3
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:14,400
science.
This debate has religion,

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,700
requiring belief in the tenets
of the religion based on pure

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:23,500
faith and denying the validity
of a science-based knowledge

6
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:28,300
approach, that may contradict
those intensely held beliefs

7
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,700
based on faith.
In this view of things faith and

8
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:38,200
science are irreconcilable
opposed to one another, it must

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,600
be noted, however, that Reliance
on faith in this context is to

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,100
justify specific, belief systems
or dogmas.

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,700
This does not reflect on the
dynamic between the mental

12
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:55,900
Consciousness, and the
experiences and shift to the

13
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:01,700
spiritual consciousness, which
also all on a form of Faith to

14
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:07,500
appreciate the process involved.
SRI, aurobindo describes the

15
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:12,400
faith of the Soul, which matures
into knowledge as the higher

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Consciousness manifests and the
shift to the spiritual basis

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,900
occurs.
This is not that he rents to a

18
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:24,500
belief system that has no proofs
rather.

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,900
It is the souls knowledge
expressing itself prior to

20
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:32,200
having externally visible
factual underpinning.

21
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,900
We speak many times of a sense,
we have about something about an

22
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,600
intuition, about a gut feeling
that is not based in mental,

23
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,400
logic or ideation, but
nevertheless turns out to be

24
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,800
true in the event, the Souls
faith is akin to this type of

25
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
action, we're something becomes
known.

26
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:58,800
Even though the mind has not
worked out the details SRI

27
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,800
aurobindo writes, quote, until
we know the truth, not mentally.

28
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,400
But by experience, by change of
Consciousness, we need the souls

29
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,800
Faith to sustain us and hold on
to the truth.

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,200
But when we live in the
knowledge, this faith is Changed

31
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,400
into knowledge.
