Episode 252
Saturday, 22 November, 2025

Adam explores the fundamental definitions of yoga, emphasizing it as a process of subtraction rather than addition. He contrasts Eastern and Western philosophies regarding self-perception and the inherent nature of individuals, highlighting the confusion that arises from overcomplicating our experiences. Adam Shares · Yoga is fundamentally about subtraction, not addition. · Eastern philosophy views us as inherently whole. · Western philosophy believes we are lacking and need to add more. · The confusion in our lives comes from adding too much. · Self-awareness is key to understanding our true nature. · The essence of yoga is clarity and simplicity. · Philosophical differences shape our understanding of self. · We often complicate our experiences unnecessarily. · True understanding comes from seeing ourselves as we are. · Yoga helps in removing the layers of confusion.
