What Technique or Practice Is Prescribed in the Integral Yoga?

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,300
It is a frequent inquiry, tell
us what technique we should use

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,600
to reach the spiritual goal.
Many ask, what specific

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,400
technique, SRI, aurobindo or the
mother recommends for everyone

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,900
to follow.
They point out that other Paths

5
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:23,900
of spirituality offer specific
actions, one must undertake to

6
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:29,400
succeed, there are fixed
routines of asanas, pranayamas

7
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:34,600
mantras devotional exercises
that are prescribed in those

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,500
paths.
The route is assured and the

9
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,700
seeker can follow the guidance
and move successfully to the

10
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:45,600
goal.
The integral yoga, however,

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,000
takes a different approach.
It understands the complexity of

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,300
the human being the interaction
of the physical, the vital, the

13
00:00:55,300 --> 00:01:00,700
emotional, the mental, and the
psychic element in the being, as

14
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:04,500
well as the issues, that the
Seeker has to face in the life

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,800
and the obstacles.
His path including influences

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,200
from the society and the
environment.

17
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:16,500
It also recognizes that one
particular regiment does not

18
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:18,900
answer to all of these varied
elements.

19
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:23,300
And while a Seeker may have a
predominant element in the

20
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:28,400
nature that guides him to a
specific type of practice as he

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,000
grows and changes over time and
as different aspects of the

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,700
nature come forward.
It may be necessary to take up

23
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:42,100
another approach.
Thus, they enunciate certain

24
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:46,700
principles and general
guidelines and make available to

25
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,400
the Seeker.
The entire range of practices

26
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:54,400
techniques and guidance that
have proved invaluable in the

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,900
past as well as those which may
speak to the needs of today or

28
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,900
tomorrow more effectively.
It is then up to the secret, to

29
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,699
apply the principles and make
use of the appropriate

30
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:13,100
techniques that are suited to
The Seekers own situation, both

31
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,600
in the present and as
circumstances, change in the

32
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,700
future, It is also a frequent
occurrence that once a Seeker

33
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:25,700
finds a method that works.
Well, he tends to believe that

34
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:30,100
this is the best method and
wants to have others approach

35
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:35,200
that same approach.
In some cases, he tries to turn

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,400
this into a system or method
that he insists is the only path

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,000
to Salvation.
SRI aurobindo on the mother

38
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,900
emphasizing their understanding
of the complexity of human

39
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:51,600
nature and the individuality of
the speakers and their specific

40
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,200
issues and strengths.
Make it clear that what one

41
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,100
adopts for oneself is not
necessarily going to work for

42
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,000
others.
And thus, each must find his own

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,400
specific path forward with a
basis of aspiration

44
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:13,000
concentration.
And Parents acting as the

45
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,700
overarching principles to obtain
the results of the yoga.

46
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,100
SRI aurobindo observes quote men
differ in nature and therefore

47
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,100
each will approach the sadhna in
his own way.

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,800
One through work went through
bhakti, 12, meditation and

49
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,700
knowledge and those who are
capable of it through all

50
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,100
together.
You are perfectly justified in

51
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:40,900
following your own way.
Whatever.

52
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,600
May Either theories of others,
but let them follow.

53
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,100
There's and the end-all can
converge together towards the

54
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:54,100
same goal.
And quote, the mother adds quote

55
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,700
in various times and places many
methods have been prescribed for

56
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:02,600
attaining this perception and
ultimately achieving this

57
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,700
identification.
Some methods are psychological

58
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,200
some religious, some even
mechanical.

59
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:15,300
In reality, everyone has to find
the one which suits him best.

60
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,800
And if one has an Ardent and
steadfast aspiration, a
