Soul - its nature, mission and evolution. Psychic being - its role, function and action, its growth and development through Sadhana, the afterlife and rebirth..
Integral Yoga
Soul: its nature, mission and evolution. Selections from the Works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. We give the name 'psychic' to the psychological centre of our being, the seat within us of the highest truth of our existence, that which can know this truth and set it in movement. It is therefore of capital importance to become conscious of its presence in us, to concentrate on this presence until it becomes a living fact for us and we can identify ourselves with it. - The Mother.
THEME/S
Sri Aurobindo: I think the psychic being was meant by the phrase, iśvaraḥ sarvabhūtānām hṛddeśe — the Lord seated in the heart of creatures.
From Conversations Recorded by A.B. Purani
ईश्वरः सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति । भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ॥ 18.61
The Lord, O Arjuna, is seated in the heart of all beings turning all beings mounted upon a machine by his Maya.
हे अर्जुन ! ईश्वर समस्त प्राणियों के हृदय प्रदेश (हृदय) में स्थित है और अपनी माया के द्वारा समस्त भूतों को यन्त्र पर आरूढ़ के समान घुमाता रहता है ।
Bhagavad Gita 18.61
