The Value of Mental, Vital and Physical Progress for Future Births

0:02 What possible value is the effort at mental, emotional, vital or physical progress to the soul, if it cannot carry that progress forward into the next and future lives. In his epic poem, savitri, a legend and a symbol SRI aurobindo raises the issue quote. But the Oblivion that succeeds. The fall had blotted, the crowded tablets of the past and all that was destroyed, must be rebuilt. And old experience, labored out once more. And quote, there are several points to consider. If one looks at the question, solely from the Viewpoint of an individual soul, and it's experience for most cases, there is a limited but real benefit to the soul as it has gathered the essence of the experience and the progress which can be a foundation for the next phase in. The next lifetime, in rare instances, some of the actual progress or formations if tightly bound to the psychic And carry forward, but that is obviously not the usual circumstance.

1:25 Yet, if we look at it from the standpoint of the larger Universal creation, the progress, clearly helps Advance the General State of Consciousness and provides a new fertile basis for the soul to enter into its next birth, that provides a systemic enhancement to the process benefiting. Not just the individual soul but the collective development. It is generally not necessary for the soul to actually repeat over and over again. It's exact developmental steps and progress from Life To Life. even if it is not carrying specific development on the mental, vital or physical level forward, it benefits from the general enhancement as well as from the essential experience and can use this as the basis, for new upward, effort, and momentum, a disciple asks, If it is not the Mind, vital or physical, which takes birth again, but only the psychic being then, the vital, our mental progress made before as of no value in another life.

2:43 The mother answers quote, it happens only to the extent. The progress of these parts has brought them close to the psychic. That is to the extent, the progress lies in putting all the parts of the being successively under the psychic influence. For all that is under the psychic influence. And identified with the psychic continues, And it is that alone which continues, but if the psychic is made the center of one's life and Consciousness, and if the whole being is organized around it, the whole being passes under the psychic, influence becomes United with it and can continue if it is necessary.
