0- As long as mind does not re-root it is secure. The practices 
given and also stabalization material to read will keep the mind 
stilled and so here none should regress. 
 Sarojini: Am sure it is a possibility (although a Laughable one at 
that), but if one has been led by a Guru and has become centered 
through Practices in Stillness, followed by some "adjustment time" 
by reading, staying involved with Guru, etc. then don't see that 
there would be any problem. This is why Guru and the Practices are 
so Essential, not only for aiding one through the Process, but also 
to Steady the Center once Realized. OM. 

Shanti OM,
Sarojini
