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?
