A friend who spent some time with Tat Whale Baba's successor was told the way to assimilate all objects that would ease the final discrimination would be to do ALL the formulae of Pada 3. He was surprised people who only doing a subset. Only when there is a clear experience of each one are all pertinent "objects" integrated effectively into Self. And...the sutras should be in Natural language, Sanskrit. Pure name and form easing objects into Self. The problem of course, is that people *attach* to the experiences that arise from these formulae and then it's as if heaven and earth were infinitely thrown apart. Some present a string of experiences, often with a story-line and a tale, as their own imagined awakening and enlightenment. Ir ould be amusing if it weren't so sad. Discrimination and/or spontaneous recognition along with absolute self honesty are therefore essential IMNSHO.
