The biggest mistake we have made

Is it a fact that your physical body is the result of an accumulation over time? If only the physical is considered real, then one's existence as a person or as a life form is not deemed real. This is where the fundamental issue lies. Many times, you've mentioned that "Shi-Va" means "That which is not." Then, there's Adiguru, Adi yogi, the Shiva who lived in Kailash and Kasi. What does "That which is not" mean, and who is this Shiva referred to as Adi yogi? When we speak of "That which is not," we're referring to a dimension beyond the physical, as our senses are primarily attuned to perceive the physical world. Our senses can only detect what's necessary for our survival. Yoga, in essence, is a system to enhance perception, not a philosophy or belief system. It sharpens your perception to perceive things beyond your current capabilities. For instance, animals can predict weather changes, which we often can't. This is because humans burden themselves with excessive thoughts and emotions, hindering their natural abilities. While we possess advanced neurological systems, we sometimes overlook what animals inherently know. We've invented tools and instruments to compensate for our limitations, such as telescopes and meteorological equipment."

"It is operated by human beings who, themselves, cannot directly perceive certain things. Instead, they've created instruments to observe. While ants may naturally perceive things for their survival, humans are often unable due to the complexity of thought and emotion. However, we've developed instruments to see, hear, and sense what our senses cannot. In this exploration, we distinguish between the physical and the non-physical. Our foundational science, physics, focuses exclusively on the physical, which is a limitation. We claim that only the physical is real, while everything non-physical is unreal. This viewpoint is flawed. 'Shiva' signifies that which transcends this physical limitation. It allows us to access what's beyond the purview of modern science, acknowledging something more than the physical. Adi Yogi, the first yogi, achieved this understanding without self-identification. He's referred to as Shiva in popular culture, but spiritually, he's Adi Yogi. People with Shiva-related names may not have realized this, but they possess the potential to grasp the non-physical. Even animals, like dogs, share this origin. Everything, from a rock to the sky, is seen as Shiva by some, although these entities may never realize it themselves. The human body is a physical accumulation over time, but to limit reality to just this is a fundamental flaw.

This concept is relatively new to us, prompting the creation of tools and instruments to explore the unseen. While ants instinctively adapt to their environment, humans rely on instruments for insight. Despite our complex thoughts and emotions, we've developed tools that can perceive what our senses cannot. This exploration delves into the realms of the visible and invisible, the physical and non-physical.

Our scientific foundation, physics, focuses solely on the physical world, which may be a limitation. Believing only the physical is real is a fundamental mistake. Your body accumulates over time, but you, as a person, transcend mere physicality. Shiva represents accessing the non-physical, transcending cultural and scientific boundaries.

Modern science acknowledges the existence of something beyond the physical, often labeled as 'fuzzy logic.' However, these approaches still confine us. Shiva, the Adi Yogi, represents one who grasped the non-physical, hence his name. In our culture, male names often reference Shiva, signifying their potential to transcend.

We don't find it offensive to call even a dog Shiva since all life emanates from the same source. Even inanimate objects can symbolize Shiva, though they may never realize it. The difference lies in our realization of this truth."
