ANd where is it made clear that one spiritual tradition has to have a 1-to-1 correspondance with another for either to be correct? The history of Sanskrit texts covers literally thousands of years, with multiple meanings for many words for a given text written during one period that may not be coherent with the meaning intended for them when used in another text written in another era. And that doesn't mean that MMY's interpretation of things is wrong, regardless of what was meant consciously by one author, since the point of MMY's interpreation of texts is to promote and explain enlightment techniques of a certain kind, so if the techniques work and the itnerpreation is valid within the context of the techniques he promotes, the author's conscious intent may not be as big a deal as you appear to be insisting by all this textual exegisis stuff. IOW, MMY's silence on such things may mean nothing more than he disagrees with the whole thing, or perhaps with the standard interpretation of such things. He talks about Marmas which almost no- one does, while generally NOT talking about kundalini or chakras, which virtually everyone DOES talk about. Does this make him wrong and everyone else right, or is it the other way around or what? ------------------------ Yahoo!
