Depending on the level of followers, instructions vary and the process prescribed varies. But ultimate aim is to elevate everyone from their respective levels. In that sense, there is singular purpose. Externally there is a lot of diversity and apparent contradictions. | |

Thus the sum total of all texts may not be present and what we have available with us may not present a complete or sometimes even consistent picture. Thus we rely on the acharyas who are experts who have studied these texts thoroughly, applied their mind and come up with a consistent picture. | |

This knowledge predates recorded history; it used to exist even before writing was invented and during those times it was transmitted by word of mouth from guru to student and in this manner it was transmitted through disciplic succession until it has now reached us. | |
