Whatever the predominant aspect
of the individual nature.
2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,400
The spiritual aspiration seizes
upon that as the leading power
3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,300
to carry the sadhna forward.
Nevertheless, at some point, it
4
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:21,400
is important to recognize both
the value and the necessity of
5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,200
the other aspects for what is
after all an integral yoga with
6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,400
the goal of spiritual
realization and And the
7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,500
transformation of human nature
based on that realization.
8
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,300
This is different than past
yogic practices that Focus
9
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:44,400
primarily on Liberation and did
not concern themselves with the
10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,200
external life at all.
We go go of works is essential
11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,700
to ensure that the entire nature
including the most external
12
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:59,700
Parts, participate in the yogic
development and to carry out the
13
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:05,200
actions of transformation called
for sole focus on meditation or
14
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,200
devotion may lead to high
spiritual experiences or the
15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,400
goal long sought-after in the
past of liberation.
16
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,200
But they met in today's context,
be imbalanced and fail to
17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,700
achieve.
The purpose of the integral
18
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,500
yoga.
Thus work is considered to be
19
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:30,400
essential to provide the balance
and the field of opportunity to
20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,500
transform the outer nature.
SRI aurobindo observes quote to
21
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:41,900
say that when enters the stream
of sadhna through work, only is
22
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,200
to say too much.
One can enter it, through
23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,200
meditation or buck T also but
work is necessary to get into
24
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,700
full stream and not drift away
to one side or go circling their
25
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:02,200
of course all work helps provide
it as done in the right spirit.
26
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,500
The mother adds quote work done
in the true spirit is
27
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:14,700
meditation.
And let us work as we pray for
28
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,000
indeed.
Work is the body's best prayer
29
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:25,200
to the Divine and quote
Reference SRI aurobindo and the
30
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,900
mother growing within the
psychology of inner development.
