The patravali letters prove that kriya was taught differently to different people. The patravali letters were private, specific correspondences between guru and disciples, disciples who were often given different instructions. They were never meant to be "the holy patravali letters" that they have been turned into. They were never meant to "teach" people in the future about kriya or higher kriya. They were never meant to be shared. People don't seem to get that. They have no worth being read as some sort of teaching book. Without going through the higher kriyas and learning the process first hand, as did the men in those letters, without knowing EXACTLY what they are talking about, how can you be so presumptuous as to think you know EXACTLY what they are talking about? You don't know the higher kriyas, but according to you you have it all figured out with no need of learning the higher kriyas. You can't say that you've proven that Shibendu's kriyas are different than Lahiri's when you don't know Lahiri's or Shibendu's kriyas.
