Right, that's why Patanjali titled his work "How to Become More Outward and Materialistic and Fooled by the Power of Your Own Delusions." Well, that's what he *should* have called it. That he called it "How to Know God" instead proves he was fooled by the power of his own delusions. What "sages," where?
