Bhagavan: Though the yogi may have his methods of breath-control,

that of enquiry. When by this method the mind is merged in the Self,

My point, though, is not a clarion call to follow, or not follow, any
shastras, sciptures or ethics. My only point is that there is a state
of "sadhu"-- goodness -- a deep zone -- that is far more refined and
liberating than some (partially realized perhaps) mahavakya.
How one cultures that sadhu

Somewhat parallel to Sprarig's point, if even if a person went outside
the norm, even outside the law for 5 years over a 90 year life, 70
