The Two Most Powerful Levers to Enter Into Contact with the Divine in One’s Psychic Being

1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,600
When an individual begins to
recognize the existence of the

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,800
soul and seeks for a way to come
into contact with it.

3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:15,800
And begin to there by understand
the purpose and significance of

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,200
his life in the larger creation.
The first question that comes to

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,000
mind is how do I do that this
leads to a period when an

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,700
individual becomes a seeker?
And this generally involves

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,200
searching for individuals were
written material.

8
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:40,400
That may help provide guidance
finding a suitable group of

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,600
people who are themselves on the
path and taking up practices.

10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,000
That may involve yoga Vision
quests Meditation, contemplation

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,100
prayer or other long practice
means of achieving a spiritual

12
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:02,100
breakthrough.
The mother places emphasis on

13
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,600
several seemingly simple ways to
come into contact with the

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,600
psychic being the sole and there
by the divine presence in the

15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800
manifestation.
The involve breaking out of the

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400
limiting shell of the ego
personality in one way or

17
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,000
another to open oneself to The
Wider reality and its meaning,

18
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,500
she describes these levers as
enthusiasm and gratitude.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,700
The mother observes quote, there
are two principal things this

20
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,100
the capacity for enthusiasm,
which makes one come out of his

21
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:45,500
greater, or lesser inertia in
order to throw himself more or

22
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,300
less totally into the thing,
which Rouses him.

23
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,300
As for instance, the artist for
his art, the scientist for his

24
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:58,400
science.
And in general, every person who

25
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,600
creates or builds has an
opening, the opening of a

26
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,600
special faculty, the special
possibility, creating an

27
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,900
enthusiasm in him when this is
active, something in the being

28
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,800
awakens, and there is a
participation of almost the

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,000
whole being in the thing done.
There is this.

30
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,300
And then there are those who
have an innate faculty of

31
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,800
gratitude.
Those who have an Ardent need to

32
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,000
respond respond with warmth
devotion, joy to something,

33
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,500
which they feel like a Marvel
hidden behind the whole of Life

34
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Behind the tiniest little
element, the least little event

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,300
of life.
Who feel this, Sovereign beauty

36
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,500
or infinite grace, which is
behind all things?

37
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:54,800
I knew people who had no
knowledge.

38
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,600
So to say of anything who were
hardly educated, whose Minds

39
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,200
were all together of the
ordinary kind and who had in

40
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,300
them this capacity of gratitude
of warmth, which gives itself

41
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,000
understands and is thankful well
for them.

42
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,100
The contact with the psychic was
very frequent almost constant

43
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:26,000
and to the extent that they
Capable of it conscious not very

44
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
conscious but a little in the
sense that they felt that they

45
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,500
were carried helped up, lifted
above themselves.

46
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,500
These two things prepare people
to most.

47
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,400
They are born with one or the
other, and if they take the

48
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,300
trouble, it develops.
Gradually it increases.

49
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,800
We say the capacity for
enthusiasm something with

50
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,400
throws.
As you out of your miserable and

51
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,900
mean little ego.
And the generous gratitude, the

52
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,500
generosity of the Gratitude
which also flinx itself and

53
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,700
Thanksgiving out of the little
ego.

54
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:10,200
These are the two most powerful
levers to enter into contact

55
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,500
with the Divine.
In one psychic being this

56
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,800
serves.
As a link with the psychic being

57
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,800
the surest link.
