Obliterating Boundaries

ssentially, yoga means the science of


E erasing boundaries. From the
simplest creature to the human
being, in their most basic state of
existence, their whole life is about fixing
boundaries. You will see a dog is going
about peeing all over the place, not
because he has a urinary problem, but
because he is fixing his boundaries. Like
this, every creature is fixing their own
boundaries including human beings, all
the time.

In the ashram, we kind of try to obliterate


the boundaries but even within that
people fix their own boundaries because
they have to pee around a little bit,
otherwise they’ll feel homeless. Most
human beings, unfortunately, cannot
simply live in this universe. They want to
live in a cubicle. They want to live in a
prison. They do not want to live in the
vast cosmos, which is available for them
to experience and dwell in.

Yoga means, in every possible way,


preparing a human being to slowly

to breach it. That
boundary is
important for you, you have to defend it,
you have to fight for it, you have to die
for it. All these things will come. So yoga
means to become free from that, where
you obliterate the boundaries. If you sit
here, you simply sit here in this universe;
you don’t need a boundary of your own.
You do not need that so-called your own
space. Anyway there is no “your own
space.” You may think it is yours, it is
delusional.

The physical has a boundary, that is not


the issue – that is the basic trait of
physicality. However, that has seeped into
your psychology. Now your mind wants a
boundary, your emotions want a
boundary. Because you have invested in
creating many boundaries, that which is
boundless within you is out of your reach,
out of your experience. This is all it is.
Because you are investing time and
energies and whatever intelligence you
have into how to build a boundary of
your own, that which is boundless slips
out of your experience.

It is all your doing, it is your own karma


that you are separated from the universe.

Adiyogi Shrines in various places across
the world, it is important that we make
people understand the true context of this.
He is the one who for the very first time
reminded and offered methods for
effectively going beyond the boundaries
set by nature. The idea life can evolve is
his; that evolution need not be limited to
physical form alone, one can consciously
evolve, is the most liberating possibility
opened by him. The whole science of yoga
is His. It is my endeavor that such a great
being should be acknowledged for the
phenomenal contribution that was made.
Stand by me in fulfilling this as these will
be a powerful means to raise human
consciousness.

Love & Blessings,
