A _lower_ form of Yoga!? For a chaos wossname, you have a very
hierarchical approach! :-0 If union is achieved through a
practice, who is to say it is higher or lower.  Each form of Yoga
suits people with different temperaments.  I wouldn't say Karma
Yoga was the _lowest_ form of Yoga, by any means.
