P.S.: If he had been referring to the specific
implementation, I strongly suspect he would have
expressed it so as to make it crystal clear,
instead of the vague "secret of swift and deep
meditation." And he would probably have insisted
that he teaches the technique *exactly* as Guru
Dev taught it to him.
Note that he doesn't even say Guru Dev *taught* him
"the secret." He says he learned it "at his feet."
I suspect the vagueness was deliberate, and that it
was because he didn't want it to seem as though he
knew something Guru Dev did not.
Or if you want to look at it more negatively, he
was being vague to make it *seem* as though the
technique came directly from Guru Dev, to give it
Guru Dev's authority, without actually saying so.
