Adiyogi: The Source of Yoga

by Sadhguru

‘If you don’t make yourself important within yourself,’ Sadhguru often says, ‘you can turn this body into a powerful instrument of perception and knowing.

The spiritual journey is a journey towards clarity, but never towards certainty. When you draw conclusions about beginnings and endings, you are a believer. When you accept that you really do not know anything, you become a seeker.

Even the divine has no choice but to serve you. You have now enslaved Shiva!

Fundamentally, the basis of yoga is just this: to initiate a process of self-creation where the nature of your body, your emotion, your mind, your energy is consciously created by you. This is what Adiyogi did. He crafted his life in its entirety.

Our lives are ruled by eight forms of memory, Adiyogi explained. These are elemental, atomic, evolutionary, genetic, karmic, sensory, inarticulate and articulate.
