Why?

1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,200
If we reflect on our own lives
and consider the people we meet

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,400
in our daily lives, including
our family friends,

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,200
acquaintances work, Associates,
and chance.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,700
Those we meet along the way we
likely will find that very

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:24,100
little time thought or
consideration if any is given to

6
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,400
the pursuit of the answer to the
question.

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Why?
we think about all the little

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,900
details of Our Lives, the food,
we eat the enjoyment, we have

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,900
the next activity, we are to
undertake our education, our

10
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:43,900
participation in sports or other
Hobbies, our desires, our need

11
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:48,300
to work in a choir money by
things, develop a family and

12
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:53,500
explore relationships, not to
speak of the time we spend in

13
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:58,600
dissipation or pure amusement,
Few people we meet at anytime

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,100
who seriously consider why they
are alive and what they are

15
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:05,200
supposed to do with the life
they lead.

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,900
There are many who will respond
with a purely mechanical process

17
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:15,300
oriented answer that they were
born out of their parents Act of

18
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:18,800
procreation and they don't
really have any purpose.

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,200
They will live their lives as
best they can and when they die,

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,600
it's over.
There are others who accept the

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,000
teachings of one religion or
another without deeper

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,300
reflection that they are here
for some kind of test or trial.

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And if they pass, they will
proceed to heaven when they die.

24
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,800
And if not, then they must burn
in hell.

25
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,900
Some believe that the world is a
big game of Might makes, right?

26
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:53,800
And they try to control bully
cheap do anything at all to

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,100
succeed in the game.
Game.

28
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:57,200
They have accepted as their
purpose.

29
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,700
Still others have the belief
that the entire life is some

30
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:06,000
kind of unreality and must
simply be abandoned as quickly

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,699
as possible.
But after all of this very

32
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:15,300
little real examination, or
reflection, actually takes place

33
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:20,100
to see if there is some deeper
sense or purpose to one's life

34
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,300
and existence.
And if there is some meaning to

35
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:29,400
it all There is, of course,
individuals, who one way or

36
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,900
another experienced.
Another reality who understand

37
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:38,700
through that experience, that
life has a purpose and that the

38
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,900
individual life is meant to
express that purpose in an Ever

39
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,400
greater and more perfect manner.
Some experience this through,

40
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,800
what is known as a near-death
experience.

41
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,100
When they returned, they are
somehow changed.

42
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,900
They see things from a different
perspective.

43
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,200
They returned with a new insight
to their lives.

44
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Others have a glimpse through a
peak experience, sometimes an

45
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,100
out-of-body experience,
sometimes what is known as a

46
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:11,800
spiritual experience?
However, it comes about these

47
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
individuals undertake acts such
as a Vision Quest.

48
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:21,300
A pilgrimage, a deep inner
reflection in examination or

49
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,800
wind up seeking out, and finding
a teacher who has had a similar

50
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000
experience and who can help
guide them to a new level of

51
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,900
understanding.
These few individuals actually

52
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:37,300
ask the question, why?
And dedicate their efforts to

53
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:42,900
finding an answer?
The mother observes quote well

54
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,900
to find out what one truly is to
find out why one is on Earth.

55
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,500
What is the purpose of physical
existence of this presence on

56
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:55,300
Earth of this formation?
This existence, the vast

57
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,200
majority of people live without
asking themselves.

58
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,100
This even once only a small,
Elite ask themselves, this

59
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:08,800
question with interest and fewer
still start working to get the

60
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,400
answer.
For unless one is fortunate

61
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,400
enough to come across someone
who knows.

62
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,899
It, it is not such an easy thing
to find.

63
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,700
Suppose, for instance, that
there had never come to your

64
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:25,900
hands, a book of Sri aurobindo
Toes or of any of the writers or

65
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:29,500
philosophers or sages, who have
dedicated their lives to this

66
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:32,400
Quest.
If you are in the Ordinary

67
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,200
World, as millions of people are
in the Ordinary World, who have

68
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,100
never heard of anything, except
the times, and not always

69
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:46,800
nowadays, even quite rarely of
some gods in a certain form of

70
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,400
religion, which is more a habit
than a faith and which besides

71
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
rarely tells you why you were on
Earth.

72
00:04:55,700 --> 00:05:01,300
Then when doesn't even think of
thinking about it, when lives

73
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:05,700
from day to day, the events of
each day, when one is very

74
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:10,000
young, one thinks of playing
eating and a little later of

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,300
learning, and after that one
thinks of all the circumstances

76
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:19,600
of life, but to put this problem
to oneself to confront, this

77
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,600
problem and ask oneself.
But after all, why am I here?

78
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,600
How many do that there are
people to whom this idea?

79
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Comes only when they are facing
a catastrophe, when they see

80
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,900
someone whom they love die, or
when they find themselves in

81
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:42,400
particularly painful and
difficult circumstances, they

82
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,000
turn back upon themselves, if
they are sufficiently

83
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,900
intelligent and ask themselves,
But really what is this tragedy?

84
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,500
We are living and what's the use
of it and what is its purpose?

85
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:03,400
And only at that moment, does
one begin the search to know in

86
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:09,200
quote reference SRI aurobindo
and the mother growing within

87
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,700
the psychology of inner
development.
