There is absolutely no incompatibility there, only in the minds of those who are hell bent on some agenda. Harrison HIMSELF said in another quote that (paraphrasing) that he didn't appreciate all the division and comparing of gurus that goes on. He thinks it is sub- standard behaviour. He made this very clear. So for Vaj to use that devious method puts him in the very category that Harrison did not appreciate and avoided. Its just not appropriate behaviour for a yogi or an aspirant. Vaj is as far away from being a Buddhist as it is possible to be. His Buddhist (or other) teachers would be gravely dissappointed in him.
