Attack of the lower vitals A part of integral yoga practice is to understand that I am part of the universe and the universe is part of me. That there is this to and to between our purusha or the soul force and the challenges Nature or outside force poses to us. Attack of the lower vitals where in your mind you feel inadequacy, fear, jealousy and that kind of thing is an important aspect to be mindful of. This morning an attack of “X could praise me on Y” attacked me. The reason this is inporrant to log is to understand that this sentiment comes from “outside”, and if you are not careful Arin, it will overwhelm you. So, what do you do? Take note of it, let it come in. Then detach yourself and envision you sensing it, and let it pass. The point is to renew that everything you do, pay attention to the process with a view to achieve the immediate goal, but as everything is a sacrifice to the larger Divine (Sri Aurobindo calls it the Divine Mother), so do and not worry about it. The impact or who will take up what aspect of your work is irrelevant at that point. Create, work, dedicate, move on.
