How simple; he'd always known that  people would pay him for what they expected to get in return and that  he never had any trouble convincing them it was their fault it wasn't  working. He still bitches about too much negativity, too little work  being done by others, yadda, yadda. There was actually a very prominent yogi and scholar (Hariharananda) who at that time who had reconstructed  the entire school of samkhya which the yoga sutras come from and the yoga sutras themselves. He knew all the commentaries and techniques. This school is still in existence even after the founders death. His comments and translations, it's my understanding, were seminal in manufacturing the TM-Sidhi program. The YS pundit I studied under often referred to Hariharananda's own commentaries which were indispensible for grokking the YS in this day and time, as they are experientially very, very clear. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
