All life is Yoga means that life is a field of progressive divine manifestation. It is striving to realise the Divine Perfection in its own long winding way. We are subconsciously driven by the need for perfection which, on the one hand acts as a spur for progress, on the other hand is also one of the chief causes of our unhappiness. What we know as evolution is the outer side of an inner process. The inner process is the yoga of the earth and the ascension of earth consciousness by progressively releasing and realising what is hidden within it.
As we can see it is a long, very long process. But it can be accelerated by the conscious collaboration and willing participation of man. Man can through a conscious aspiration towards the Divine compress the process and make it smoother and swifter. The conscious and concentrated evolution through man’s collaboration is what is meant by the term Yoga.
All life means then that just as nature takes up every part, body, senses, life, emotions, passions, thought and understanding so too each and every part, each and every activity in us (not only the soul) must be able to participate in the dynamic Integral Yoga refining, purifying, liberating, transforming every human movement, as far as it is capable and is possible, into a divine movement through the Yoga.
Affectionately,
