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

1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:07,200
What possible value is the
effort at mental, emotional,

2
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:12,800
vital or physical progress to
the soul, if it cannot carry

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,000
that progress forward into the
next and future lives.

4
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:22,800
In his epic poem, savitri, a
legend and a symbol SRI

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,200
aurobindo raises the issue
quote.

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,500
But the Oblivion that succeeds.
The fall had blotted, the

7
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,700
crowded tablets of the past and
all that was destroyed, must be

8
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:41,300
rebuilt.
And old experience, labored out

9
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:46,800
once more.
And quote, there are several

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,600
points to consider.
If one looks at the question,

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800
solely from the Viewpoint of an
individual soul, and it's

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,800
experience for most cases, there
is a limited but real benefit to

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,700
the soul as it has gathered the
essence of the experience and

14
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:07,900
the progress which can be a
foundation for the next phase

15
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:11,200
in.
The next lifetime, in rare

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,400
instances, some of the actual
progress or formations if

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,500
tightly bound to the psychic And
carry forward, but that is

18
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,300
obviously not the usual
circumstance.

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,100
Yet, if we look at it from the
standpoint of the larger

20
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,600
Universal creation, the
progress, clearly helps Advance

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,300
the General State of
Consciousness and provides a new

22
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:43,500
fertile basis for the soul to
enter into its next birth, that

23
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:48,200
provides a systemic enhancement
to the process benefiting.

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,700
Not just the individual soul but
the collective development.

25
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:58,300
It is generally not necessary
for the soul to actually repeat

26
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,700
over and over again.
It's exact developmental steps

27
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:07,500
and progress from Life To Life.
even if it is not carrying

28
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:12,300
specific development on the
mental, vital or physical level

29
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:18,200
forward, it benefits from the
general enhancement as well as

30
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,300
from the essential experience
and can use this as the basis,

31
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:31,000
for new upward, effort, and
momentum, a disciple asks, If it

32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,900
is not the Mind, vital or
physical, which takes birth

33
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,500
again, but only the psychic
being then, the vital, our

34
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,200
mental progress made before as
of no value in another life.

35
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,700
The mother answers quote, it
happens only to the extent.

36
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:50,600
The progress of these parts has
brought them close to the

37
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
psychic.
That is to the extent, the

38
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,300
progress lies in putting all the
parts of the being successively

39
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,500
under the psychic influence.
For all that is under the

40
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:05,100
psychic influence.
And identified with the psychic

41
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:11,000
continues, And it is that alone
which continues, but if the

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600
psychic is made the center of
one's life and Consciousness,

43
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:20,500
and if the whole being is
organized around it, the whole

44
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:24,800
being passes under the psychic,
influence becomes United with it

45
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,100
and can continue if it is
necessary.

46
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:36,300
For it to continue and quote
reference SRI aurobindo in the

47
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,900
mother growing within the
psychology of inner development,
