The Spiritual Call Comes… Then What Needs to Happen Next

1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,200
We have a vision.
We get inspired.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,400
We have a near-death experience.
We come back from the spiritual

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,600
experience and we are sure it is
meant to change our lives as we

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,900
suddenly have a whole new Vista,
open up before us a realm of

5
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:27,500
truth beauty Harmony light.
Then we come back into our

6
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:31,900
normal external state of
consciousness, still carrying

7
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,400
some lingering memory of the
experience.

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,100
But now confronting all the
normal day-to-day activities

9
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,300
relationships difficulties and
opportunities.

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,100
Some people find the
contradiction too much and opted

11
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,400
either to try to forget about
the spiritual experience, they

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,200
had and go on with their normal
lives.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,500
While others may feel like they
need to leave that life behind

14
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,700
and concentrate purely on
spiritual practice and seek

15
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:06,300
liberation.
Then we come to the path.

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,700
The tree aurobindo has marked
out.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,100
Free or open do calls for the
transformation of the outer

18
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,100
external Consciousness, and its
relationship to the outer world

19
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,200
and its activities.
There is no cutting of the, not

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,400
by abandoning life nor is the
spiritual call Simply denied.

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Or avoided this implies that the
spiritual Force needs to not

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,700
only create a momentary state of
extraordinary awareness, but

23
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:41,100
that it needs to be able to take
up the Actions of the Mind, the

24
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:46,100
Life Energy and the body and
bring them into harmony with the

25
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:51,800
spiritual Force.
SRI, aurobindo notes, quote, but

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,100
in whatever way it comes, there
must be a decision of the mind

27
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:02,600
and the will, and as its result,
a complete and effective self

28
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,600
consecration, the acceptance of
a new spiritual idea, force, and

29
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,900
upward orientation in the being,
an illumination, a turning or

30
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:17,800
conversion seized on by the will
and the hearts aspiration.

31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,900
This is the momentous act which
contains as in a seed, all the

32
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,300
results that the yoga has to
give the mere idea or

33
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,200
intellectual seeking of
something higher Beyond,

34
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:37,400
however, strongly grasped by the
mines, interest is ineffective,

35
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,100
unless it is seized on by the
heart.

36
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:45,700
As the one thing desirable and
by the will of the one thing to

37
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:50,700
be done. for truth of the spirit
has not to be merely thought,

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,500
but to be lived and to live it
Demands a unified,

39
00:02:55,500 --> 00:03:00,400
single-mindedness of the being
So great, a change as is

40
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,300
contemplated by the yoga, is not
to be affected by a divided

41
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:10,600
will, or by a small portion of
the energy or by a hesitating

42
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,400
mind.
He who seeks the Divine was

43
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,000
consecrate himself to God.
And to God only and quote
