The History of Yoga
In order to study the history of Yoga, we must view the history of the universe. Some souls become curious about a life independent from The Absolute Being and come from the spiritual universe to the material universe. Souls must incarnate so as to be able to realize their objectives in the material universe. While the incarnated soul pursues an imaginary freedom, he/she imitates God, changes many bodies and experiences adventures.
Finally, after having repeatedly experienced temporary material happiness and agonies, he/she becomes bored with life in the material universe.
