On Purna Yoga and Purna Yoga Meditation
Historically, consciousness has always evolved. So far, it has always evolved as a force from nature, with nature causing the evolution. The object of evolution never had a choice. Now, the object that is to evolve has the choice whether to evolve or not. The choice is now ours.
Choose to Evolve (2:53), Aadil Palkhivala
Evolution cannot happen without involution. Unless I spend my time knowing who I am, any effort to try to become something more becomes a facade, a pretense, or it becomes what my wife Mirra calls, the “White Shadow.”
What we are working on in Purna Yoga is quite different. What we are working on is integrity. This means that until I know myself, it is pointless trying to be something that I am not. In fact the exact opposite is true.
