Weaknesses of the Vital Nature That Impede the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Sri Aurobindo describes three conditions that can derail the practice of integral yoga. Each of the three represent a form of weakness of the vital nature. The normal vital nature craves excitement and seeks new experiences all the time. The transformation of human nature, however, involves efforts that may seem endless and repetitive as the habits and embedded ‘grooves’ in the being are not changed quickly.

The Supramental Transformation Represents a Radical Upgrade of Animal and Human Nature

Until such time as we become capable of drawing infinite energy from the universal force of creation, we have the issue of choosing how we utilize the energy that we have available to us. Through certain types of practices we can actually increase the available energy. The radical transformation of the mental, vital and physical being requires large amounts of focused energy.

How the Practitioner Can Identify the Action of Hostile Forces

Whenever the discussion turns to unseen powers and forces, the rational intellect of the mind tends to shut down. That is one reason why there has been an argument, in the West, betwee Science and Religion.

The Need for Understanding the Power of Thought Formation

What is thought formation? For many people, the constant stream of haphazard ideas, thoughts, reflections and perceptions represents thought. Their minds are constantly bombarded by thoughts of all types without a consistent flow or theme. They jump from one subject to another without even a transitional link. They have not discovered the true power of thought, when it is organised, focused and directed.

What Is a ‘Natural” Response to Circumstances for the Human Individual?

When we see any individual stopping to reflect, choose his line of action and make a specific, conscious determination of how to respond, we consider this action to be unnatural, stilted, and we imply that it is somehow subject to some kind of ulterior motive, and thus, tend to distrust it. Based on this general conception, we have a bias in favor of vital spontaneity, which we believe more perfectly expresses the true feelings of the individual than some kind of planned response.

The Essence of Karma Yoga — the Yoga of Works

Humanity has relied on social action, technology, and education as pillars of advancement and the development of humanity. Yet if we examine things closely we find that we are still driven primarily by the forces of ego and desire, even when they cloak themselves in a veneer of altruism or philanthropy.

The Justification and Benefit of Unifying the Being Around the Psychic Being and the Spiritual Purpose of the Life

When we work in the exte al world, whether it is to study, to follow up a line of development of some sort, to train the body for athletic endeavours, to strengthen and refine the mind to undertake serious development of the powers of Reason and intuition, etc., we do so with some expectation of a result or benefit. It may be some form of inner satisfaction of accomplishment, or it may be fame, or fortune or acclamation of some sort. It may that the form of a benefit to family, friends, community, our religion, or our country.

The Nature and Power of Equality in the Practice of the Integral Yoga

We usually think about the term ‘equality’ in relation to society or the economy. Sri Aurobindo uses the term to describe an inner psychological state that keeps the practitioner of the yoga focused on the inner being and its spiritual practices, rather than having the attention drawn out to react to people, events and circumstances outside. This is part of the tuning and focusing process that aligns the seeker with the higher force that is manifesting, and is therefore an essential part of the practice of yoga.

Distinguishing the Ordinary Motives of the Vital Being from Spiritual Motivation

The vital nature has an innate drive towards fulfillment and satisfaction of desire. Since most individuals are oriented towards the outer life, the fulfillment comes through attaining desirable objects of the vital focus. This can be accumulation of wealth, it can be family, fame or achievement of certain goals one sets for oneself. For some people this can shift into the arena of charitable work, volunteer efforts to help create a better environment or improve other people’s lives.

Comparing Current General State of Human Consciousness With More Evolved States, Part 2 Distractability Versus Concentratedness

With even a very cursory examination of the thoughts and sensations that enter our awareness, it becomes quite clear that there is a constant flow of sensations, impressions, perceptions, feelings, emotions and thoughts that seem to bombard us all the time. Our attention flits from one thing to the next instantaneously, seemingly without any control. When this becomes somewhat extreme, so that the individual can barely function in the world, Western psychologists term it ‘ADHD”, or in the general language “attention deficit disorder”.

The Surface Consciousness and the Subliminal Consciousness

We focus our attention and awareness on the exte al world in which we are active. We receive impressions, sensations, vibrations, impulsions and pressures from that world and it fixes our mind on that palpable experience of reality. This is however not the entirely of our existence nor of the greater reality.

The Nature of the Subconscious

Most of the impressions we receive on a day to day basis go unremarked by our conscious awareness, but are nevertheless received and stored away in our subconscious levels. These impressions may rise to the surface during dreams, or be triggered by certain sensations, events or circumstances, without us actually recognizing where they are coming from. In particular, it is known that the sense of smell can trigger memories and feelings that come from some past experience. But it goes much further than just triggering of memories that have been encapsulated and stored.

The Power of the Inconscient and Subconscient Levels in Our Lives

Our physical bodies operate complex functions without active oversight or intervention of the mind. We are essentially in the dark as our organs function, as our immune system automatically responds to pressures, as breathing, brain function and much more go on absent our supervision or control, for the most part. It is true that certain functions can be affected when we turn conscious attention to them, but even this level of intervention is limited and rare.

Dealing with the Subconscient Elements of the Being

As the individual confronts the various impulses, emotions, drives and thoughts that arise and drive his life and action, he begins to recognise that there are elements that are not easily identified on the surface, and that there is something that cannot quite be grabbed with the intellect, which represents a motive spring for many of the impulses that he contends with.

How to Change One’s Consciousness, Part 3: Observing and Being Attentive

Spirituality is not about having an intellectual understanding. There are methods described in various paths of spiritual growth, in books, or in other forms of instruction which have their potential benefit, but they are not a replacement for an actual inward experience that changes the texture of consciousness for the individual.

The Supramental Evolution Represents the Fulfillment of Life, Not the Abandonment of Life

For much of human history, spirituality has been looked upon as a contradiction of an active life in the world. The anchorite in the desert, the renunciate, the Sannyasin, the monk or nun in the cloister are held up to us as the examples of dedication to spiritual growth and purpose. All of these examples imply that if one is caught up in the world’s affairs, if one acts in a full and rich life in the world, that there is little hope for true spiritual progress.

The Role of the Psychic Being in the Integral Yoga

In order to both observe and manage the actions and reactions of the mind, life and body, it is necessary to achieve a standpoint outside of their action. Sri Aurobindo identifies the psychic being as the separate entity, what may be called the ‘soul’, as the consciousness capable of this separation and control. It is important to avoid the confusion engendered by the confused understanding of the term ‘psychic’ in the West.

The Role of the Vital-Physical Aspect of Our Being

When we observe the nerves and their role in our actions, we see that they carry vital sensations within a physical frame to connect our senses and responses to exte al pressures to the brain, and then, carry impulses back to the organs of action. Most people do not recognise the essential role of this interface between the vital and the physical in determining how we react, and then how we respond to the situations of our lives.

Immunity, Yoga-Force and the Supramental Nature

A question recently arose about how to become aware of the subtle vital envelope that surrounds the physical body and acts to protect it. One can practice quieting the mind, the emotions, the vital energies and the body and just feeling the sensation of the wider body until it becomes vivid and constant. One can close one’s eyes, sit quietly and have another individual quietly move a hand toward the body, not quite touching it, and sense where it is. one can begin to observe and feel when some pressure is felt such as feeling the beginning of a cold or other physical imbalance.

All Knowledge Is Within, Awaiting the Time and Circumstance to Manifest in Our Exte al Being

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato described the method of teaching utilized by Socrates, known today as the “Socratic method”. Socrates understood that education was not the process of stuffing knowledge into an individual, but rather, as the root of the word ‘education’ implies, a drawing out of the knowledge already held within. He propounded a series of questions intended to provoke the person to express that knowledge and formalize it thereby in their exte al being.

Reading and the Concentration and Dispersion of Conscious Awareness

As we become aware of the states of conscious awareness within our being, it becomes clear that there are times when the consciousness is highly concentrated, intensely focused, and other times when it is dispersed and wandering seemingly aimlessly. Our activities, including reading, are indicative of these states, and help to create these states. We understand the concept that ‘you are what you eat’ on a physical level, but do we recognise that the food of the mind is the sensory input and ideas that we ingest?

The Spiritual Seeker and the Material World

One of the habits that has built up over many millennia among spiritual practitioners is the ingrained idea that Matter and Spirit are essentially irreconcilable and that in order to pursue the spiritual life one must be willing to give up and abandon the material life. Material life and a focus on it is seen as a distraction from the one-pointed effort needed to achieve spiritual liberation. The focus has been placed on the concept “One without a second”, to illustrate the need for focus.

Mastering the Power of Concentration

There are any number of ways to develop concentration. Concentration is also developed progressively, such that the power to concentrate increases with practice and continued use. In their writings, both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother describe a number of ways to develop the power of concentration. They leave it to each individual to determine what method or methods work best in any individual case. There is no ‘one size fits all’ form of developing concentration.

Spiritual Realisation Through Concentration in the Heart Centre

Sri Aurobindo distinguishes between a “mental seeking” and a “living spiritual experience”. While those who are intellectually-minded frequently confuse ‘knowing’ with “KNOWING”, there is actually a clear distinction between the ability to read, hear, memorize and repeat back a teaching, which occurs in the mind. There is a famous proverb that one can read all the books about swimming and ‘know’ how to swim intellectually, but that does not mean one will actually be able to swim when thrown into the water.

The Process of Illness Invading the Body and the Means to Reject It

The vital envelope sends us signals if we are able to perceive them. Sometimes we begin to feel run down, tired, exhausted, or stressed out. We may begin to feel a little feverish or feel the beginning of what we might call a cold or sore throat occurring. This is prior to the full expression of an illness, and may just be the feeling or sense the individual receives. This is an early warning signal that something is trying to break through the first line of defense of the body and manifest an illness.

The Need and Method for Observing One’s Thoughts

Avoidance of suffering may be considered as a ‘negative’ status. Achievement of happiness is the positive pole of this continuum. Both states are rooted in the mind and the standpoint that the individual takes. When the scriptures speak of “evil thoughts” or “purified thoughts” this is not directly intended to be a moral judgment; rather it is a statement of the energetic source and impact of the thoughts that are entertained and held in the mind. Those that are based in the ego-personality and the desire-soul, that bring disturbance, enhance suffering and cause pain are ‘evil’ thoughts.

The Nature and Role of the Soul

Much of the confusion about the nature and action of the soul, the psychic being in man, is due to the loose and varied way the terms are thrown around in everyday parlance. We have ‘soul food’ and ‘soul mates’. We treat the soul as the seat of morality. At the same time, soul is used to identify some indistinct spiritual principle that underlies life and its significance for the individual being. Religions speak to us of the mortal peril to our soul for entering into activities they (variously) define as sinful.

Forces at Work In Human Affairs Behind the Exte al Causes

The study of human history is one of exte alities generally. We memorize dates of important events and try to lay the responsibility for certain subsequent actions at the door of those events. To hear historians tell it, the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand was the trigger that set off World War I. Sometimes historians will naturally capture and try to explain further causes to cataclysmic events having to do with geopolitical power plays or economic imbalances.

God, Gods, Goddesses and Human Perceptions

Does God exist? Are there more than one God? Is God a figment of human imagination? These questions have confounded humanity for aeons and, even today, they are hotly debated. Some believe there is only one God and that anyone who worships a different form or name of God is deluded. Some experience God in one form or another and believe that the form they see is the only true God. Some believe that all of the Gods are representations of specific Nature powers. Some believe that the various names and forms of Gods are simply aspects of one God.

Gnostic Consciousness Transcends Rigid Mental Rules for Living

As long as we remain fixed in the mental framework, we tend to create judgments and rules for everything we do that are founded on the limited and fragmented understanding that the mental power possesses. The advent of a new wider, more expansive, more unifying and comprehensive consciousness obviously will overtu or at least dramatically alter these rules in virtually every sphere of living.

The Day and Night of the Vedic Mystics

However much we try, we find that we cannot constantly and consistently hold onto any particular focus of concentration, emotional state, mood or feeling for an extended period of time. The constant action of the 3 Gunas cycles us through periods of light and darkness, action and inaction, excitement and despondency, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. The dualities we recognise as inextricably tied together in our lives are the result of the changing action of the Gunas.

The Human Dilemma: the Underlying Cause of Anxiety

Being human is uncomfortable. We do not have the innocence of living that we find in the animal kingdom. We struggle with the pressure of growing knowledge about ourselves and our world, and an awareness of past, present and future that haunts us all the time. For many, this pressure is so unbearable that they choose to try to obliterate the awareness through various forms of dissipation, self-medication with alcohol or drugs, or through an attempt to regain the animal innocence by living in the present, care-free and oblivious, which, of course, is an illusion.

The Difficulty and Time Required for the Transformation of the Nature

We make ‘new year’s resolutions’ with the idea that we will start the new year with a fresh dedication to undertaking some kind of change to our lives. This may be a mental change, such as a willingness to listen and try to truly understand what others say and think rather than jumping in our minds to our own ideas and engaging in arguments to convince others. It may be a vital change where we determine to not become angry, or jealous or envious of others in various situations.

Neither Suppression, Indulgence, Blame-Shifting Nor Avoidance Solves the Issue of Overcoming the Vital Force of Desire

When a spring is compressed, it builds up a tremendous power of potential energy, which gets released when the force that is compressing the spring is released. This is essentially how the vital force of desire operates when we try to suppress a drive through will power or other forms of restraint. The resultant “explosion” of the force when it gets a chance to express itself sometimes goes far beyond what the normal drive would do if simply allowed to operate in the ‘normal’ course. It is no wonder that attempts to control the vital through mental will power eventually prove to not work.

The Risks and Difficulties of Eliminating Lower Drives Through Purposeful Indulgence, Part 2

Dealing with deeply embedded drives of the subconscient and the lower vital through raising them up and indulging in them not only contains risks that one may fall into a deeper pattern of habitual response, but also can be a pretext for the vital enjoyment of the action with a veneer to disguise it to the mind for what it really is. The vital is extremely able in its attempt to convince the mind that indulgence is acceptable for one reason or another.

Drawing on the Universal Energy for Life-Force

If we observe the way we receive energy normally, we can determine that the sun is the immediate source of physical energy and it then gets transformed, or converted, into other forms of energy including life energy. The first step in this transformation comes about through the ability of plants to turn solar energy into life-energy. The plants then store the produced energy, using some of it for growth and some for life activities. Animals, in turn consume plants to obtain a share of this physical energy which they need to survive and thrive.

Major Subdivisions of the Primary Parts of the Being

The more one examines the play of awareness and activity internally, the more one begins to recognise the subtle interactions that take place between the various parts of the being. There are not clear borderlines but rather influences and actions that are based primarily in one part of the being, but have characteristics from one of the other parts. As one begins to recognise this level of detail of the internal landscape, there is an increasing power of understanding and modification that comes with it.

The mind, vital, and physical body tend to pull one in different directions, based on their differing needs, wants or desires, and propensities. This creates a tension in the being when the pulls from these aspects come into conflict with one another. For instance, someone has the desire to become a proficient athlete and this requires a strict discipline as to diet and training; at the same time, certain foods are desired, or the being wants to simply relax and enjoy the day.

Sri Aurobindo describes the long, slow process of development of the universal manifestation. There is an evolution of consciousness which takes place over time spanning many millennia, and which does not involve the conscious participation of the individual. At a certain point in time, when the human being develops and has achieved a certain level of self-awareness, he is able to participate consciously in this evolutionary process and thereby speed it up and make it more complete.
