Evolutive yoga versus static yoga
Integral yoga much as life, is -it has to be- evolutive, if it weren´t so we would be in need of another yoga.
When I say evolutive I mean that all that is been written on the subject must be reliable of modifications while life and consciousness evolve on earth.
I don´t think is correct when people makes of integral yoga a static belief, a progression and a transformation which has to be repeated in all the details to be valid, much as yogis produced by a kind of supernatural machine which will make of them a copy of each other.
I found that people often get stuck to their belief opposing them to other creeds, in a childish attempt to convince themselves (and everybody else) that their yoga is better and higher then others, but in the case of integral yoga, which is evolution itself, we cannot say a final word, and if we could, it wouldn´t be integral yoga at all but a parody.
For these same reasons the words integral yoga will one day be out of date and substituted for other words, but not the principles which were set up in the idea of an integral yoga.
When Sri Aurobindo said that all life is yoga he was saying exactly the above, integral yoga is the yoga of life, and because life is evolution and evolves, integral yoga too is evolution and has to evolve. So, in a sense, integral yoga is condemned to disappear substituted for an ever inclusive yoga, a yoga which cannot be fully described nor one to which we can put a final point, because evolution itself, and its mode, is after all in the hands of the Divine and will be what the Divine will decide it to be.
