The Act of Aspiration - 04.15.10

The Indian sage “Sri Aurobindo says that the primary act, central act, that a meditator is performing is an act of aspiration,” explains Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. “You are aspiring to lift your consciousness. You’re for two things: one is the ascent of consciousness from ego mind to Sat Mind, and at the same time you are invoking the descent, the presence of the Supreme Consciousness, the Supracosmic. One’s own consciousness at an individual level must go from the protomental, the emotional, to the mental, to the supramental, and then it must meet the supracosmic. And it is in that the yogic power is ignited.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, April 15, 2010.
