Working through the vital
By Pulkit Sharma - Jan 15, 2024
A majority of people believe that by following a particular system of self-improvement or yoga, they will be able to overcome the vital and baser parts of their being. However, despite various psychological and spiritual practices, these parts throw up a robust resistance. In such a scenario, there often comes a split wherein the person experiences spiritual insights in the meditative state but his waking consciousness remains stagnant. If unresolved, this split leads to a relapse and sabotages the evolution of consciousness. Sri Aurobindo and The Mother emphasised that the vital must not be suppressed or ignored and that there is a need to work through it systematically. This paper is based upon the author’s psychotherapeutic experience of helping people work through their vital part by following the principles of Integral Yoga.
