Someone said once that the battle described is within conciousness, not literal. I agree. > For that matter, if Patanjali's view is correct, > why are the Mahabharata and the Vedas an endless > succession of stories about beings wanting to do > violent harm to the supposedly enlightened? > > I'll wait... > Experience is the best teacher I've yet found. I don't agree with anything anyone says about conciousness unless I have verified it through my personal experience. Patanjali's view works for me. It is none of my business whether it works for you, or whether or not you agree with it.
