This is what I was hoping that you could elaborate on. Not just an
idle request. I think you would be doing a service for the readers of
FFL to bring out the significant differences/contradictions to what
many of us were taught.
Briefly, Vidyaranya points out important advice on attainment of CC. He
uses numerous sources to do so, put relies heavily on Patanjali. He
stresses the real importance on going beyond seeded meditation to
actually attain dissolution of the mind (not merely transcending it)
and actual uprooting samskaras. One of the most interesting things
Vidyaranya does deliberately is avoids all the formulae using samyama
in chapter 3 of the YS! In fact he goes on to point out, that samyama
and yogic flying are all obstacles to CC.
In other words--it's a lot deeper that simple meditation this path, and
yogic siddhis will block the path.
It was interesting for me, as my YS guru taught a very similar, if not
identical sequence of Patanjali.
There was a lengthy discussion before on this.
