The word "involution" means different things to different people. B. K. S. Iyengar, for example, uses "involution" to denote the individual merger back into the oneness of the divine consciousness after what he sees as the completion of the individual's journey in the world of Ignorance. As will be clear, we use involution with the entirely different meaning of the cosmic process which manifests the physical world out of the Consciousness of the Divine preceding the cosmic evolution.
