00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:05,700
As Consciousness develops in the
Seeker, it clearly brings with
2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:11,100
it changes in the way the Seeker
perceives understands and reacts
3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,600
to events situations people
opportunities Etc.
4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:21,700
What is often forgotten is that
it is not the extraordinary and
5
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:26,000
massive experiences that
effectuate long-term change.
6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,100
But more realistically, it is
the day-to-day adjustments that
7
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:35,200
come about through the steady
process of Consciousness growth.
8
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,500
as the Seeker becomes more in
touch with the inner psychic
9
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:47,400
being he experiences aspiration
devotion, compassion, empathy
10
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,600
piece deeper, understanding of
the relationships that are
11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,500
expressive of the unity of the
world and more These things come
12
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:02,900
as experiences insights openings
that in many cases are
13
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:07,300
dramatically different than the
way the egotistic personality of
14
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,800
that individual has responded in
the past.
15
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,500
These are the powers of
transformation far more than
16
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:21,900
some sudden experience that has
a dramatic effect but then Fades
17
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,500
and leaves the Seeker still with
all the issues that need to be
18
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:31,500
addressed in his life.
The mother observes quote.
19
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,300
However, in the normal course,
to the degree that you progress
20
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,900
inwardly, every step that you
take towards the true
21
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:44,300
Consciousness is accompanied by
a certain number of experiences
22
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:49,100
corresponding to it, which allow
you to understand the situation
23
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,500
you are in this, of course, is
normal.
24
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,900
It ought to be like that.
But these usually are not such
25
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:00,300
Sensational experiences.
As to be made.
26
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:04,800
Much of people often have all of
a sudden and illumination of
27
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,100
Consciousness and inner
indication and unusual
28
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,400
perception.
But when they are not turned
29
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,200
exclusively towards the desire
to have experiences, they don't
30
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,200
attach much importance to it.
Sometimes they don't even
31
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,900
attached enough importance.
The indication came showing them
32
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:30,200
something, but they were not
even aware of it yet.
33
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,600
It is not these things which
give you the impression that you
34
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,700
are living in a Wonderful World.
These things are quite normal.
35
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,800
Suddenly an opening in the mind,
a light that comes one
36
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,200
understands something which he
did not before you take that for
37
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,500
a very natural phenomenon but it
is a spiritual experience or the
38
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,500
clear seeing of a situation.
The understanding of what is
39
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,100
happening in oneself of the
state.
40
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,300
One is in the indication of the
exact progress, one ought to
41
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:09,200
make of the thing that's to be
corrected This too is an
42
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,900
experience, an experience that
comes from within it is
43
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,900
indication given to you by the
psychic.
44
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:24,000
People take this also as quite a
natural fact, they do not attach
45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,400
any importance to it.
And quote reference SRI
46
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,800
aurobindo and the mother growing
within the psychology of inner
47
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,500
development.
