The Yogic Practitioner Experiences a Reversal of Consciousness Compared to Most of Humanity

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,300
It is said that for the yogic
practitioner day and night are

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,600
reversed when compared to the
vast majority of human beings.

3
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:14,900
This statement has many possible
implications that can be

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:19,700
explored day and night are
representative of opposite

5
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:23,800
Concepts different ways of
seeing and reacting to

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,800
situations and different
viewpoints as to what is the

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,300
real significance and purpose of
life with all the consequences

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,100
that result from these opposite
viewpoints On the simplest and

9
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,000
most external level, we
frequently find that the yogic

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,200
practitioner prefers quietude
akan template of atmosphere and

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,900
inward Focus.
While most people seek external

12
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:57,800
stimulation entertainment
outward forms of enjoyment.

13
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:03,100
Again, most people accept their
beliefs about life, from their

14
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:07,100
religions teachings, without
necessarily trying to gain a

15
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,600
direct experience of the Divine.
While the yogic practitioner

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,700
this choose external Dogma in
favor of experience, The yogi

17
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,900
sees a pattern and meaning to
the universal creation and the

18
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:27,900
life that abounds in the world
and recognizes the Oneness of

19
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:32,800
this entire manifestation.
Most people on the other hand

20
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:37,000
experience their lives as
separate and fragmented from the

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,500
larger creation and look upon
life as something of a battle to

22
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:45,100
survive in a potentially hostile
world.

23
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,300
There are of course, many
different ways that the yogi

24
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:52,800
sees things in an opposite way
to that of the vast majority of

25
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,400
humanity, which can be explored
systematically forthwith.

26
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:03,500
SRI aurobindo writes in his epic
poem savitri, a legend and a

27
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:08,100
symbol.
Quote a vision lightened on the

28
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,200
viewless heights, a wisdom
elumen.

29
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,000
From the voiceless depths the
deeper interpretation, great and

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,100
Truth, a grand reversal of the
night and day.

31
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:26,000
All the world's values changed
heightening, life, same, a wiser

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,900
word, a larger thought came in,
then what the slow labor of

33
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:37,100
human mind can bring A secret
sense, awoke that could perceive

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
a presence and a greatness
everywhere.

35
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,900
The universe was not.
Now, this senseless were all

36
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,700
born round inert on an immense
machine, it Castaway its

37
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,700
grandiose lifeless front a
mechanism.

38
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:59,500
No more or work of chance.
But a living movement of the

39
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:02,600
body of God.
And quote.

40
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,600
Reference SRI aurobindo in the
mother growing within the

41
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,700
psychology of inner development.
Chapter 9 reversal of

42
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,400
Consciousness.
