Understanding the Relationship of Various Parts and Planes of the Being to Our Current External Mental, Vital and Physical Consciousness

1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:05,000
SRI aurobindo frequently
describes going inward to

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,800
discover, the deepest inner
being the psychic being or Soul

3
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,000
as one way to come into contact
with the truth of one's

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,700
existence, and unify ones being
with the divine.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200
This is a way to overcome the
artificial Wall of Separation

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,600
that we set up that treats the
Divine as something other than

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,700
who or what we are.
Essentially recognizing the

8
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:35,900
inherent Oneness of the entire
creation, rather than accepting

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,000
the illusion of Duality.
The other major way to achieve

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,800
this recognition of Oneness, is
to shift the standpoint upwards

11
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,500
to planes that are beyond the
mental level.

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,900
Evil either way, the individual
is shifting a standpoint away

13
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:58,000
from the external surface
personality and the ego

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Consciousness to a position that
is 1 and unified with the Divine

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,400
manifestation.
There are a number of gradations

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,500
of Consciousness, manifested
above, the mental level,

17
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:16,100
including stages, the tree
aurobindo defines us higher

18
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:24,400
mind, illumine mind, intuition,
overmind, super mind, and such

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200
you to Ananda.
The action of Consciousness at

20
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,300
each of these successively
higher stages, brings forth

21
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:36,500
powers of knowledge,
understanding and action that

22
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,400
far exceed our current mental
level of development.

23
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,200
Dr. Dalal writes, quote from the
Viewpoint of Sri aurobindo start

24
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,900
the human being is inseparable
E1 with the universal being

25
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,600
there.
Are he says to system

26
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,000
simultaneously active in the
organization of the being and

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,500
its parts.
A concentric system and a

28
00:02:03,508 --> 00:02:08,199
vertical system.
The concentric system is like a

29
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,300
series of Rings or sheaths
consisting of the outer being

30
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:18,600
the inner being and the inmost
being The outer being and the

31
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,500
inner being behind it.
Constitute, our phenomenal or

32
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:28,000
instrumental being and are said
to belong to Nature or prakruti.

33
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:35,000
They have three corresponding
parts, physical vital mental.

34
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:41,800
The in most is the purusa, the
true being in the purusa.

35
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,300
There is an in most mental and
in most vital and an in most

36
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:52,900
physical and at the very core,
the psychic being or soul, The

37
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,100
psychic being is usually
referred to as the inmost being.

38
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,500
The vertical system is like a
staircase.

39
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,400
Consisting of various levels.
Planes are gradations of

40
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Consciousness ranging from the
lowest the incomes Ian to the

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,900
highest such G Thailand.
Note ancient Indian wisdom,

42
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,100
divided the human being the
microcosm, as well as the world

43
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:26,300
being the macrocosm into a
higher hemisphere per our data

44
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:32,300
and a lower hemisphere.
A pirata the higher hemisphere

45
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,400
is where the spirit Reigns
perfectly and eternally in the

46
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,600
lower hemisphere.
The spirit is veiled by mind,

47
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,300
life and body.
Over mind is the intermediary.

48
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:47,600
Plane dividing the two
hemispheres.
