Effort should be understood here as "supports" used in many intro. meditation methods like manasika-japa (which uses a mantra a mental support) and certainly samyama (which uses formulae)--and therefore, as the yogis would say "the disease of effort"--form of any kind--is still present. And of course we know a form of samyama is used in the TM-Sidhi program, no? While relatively speaking these may be construed or sold as effortless, from a yogic perspective this is not the case.
