"If the attainment of Kechari naturally by the practice of first Kriya then enables one to achieve paravastha much more efficiently through use of Kechari then how can you say one is more important than the other."

Well, you are still mixing ends and means, but let me address another misconception you raise… that kechari (I am assuming in combination with 1st Kriya) allows one to achieve paravastha "much more efficiently???" In the "traditional" system, attainment of kechari was made a precondition for higher Kriya, not 1st Kriya…because kechari has a specific role in combination with special techniques present only in the higher Kriyas. Traditionally, it is the higher Kriyas (kechari + specific higher Kriya techniques) which Lahiri urged were more efficient and powerful than 1st Kriya. But now we are talking about deepening the experience of paravastha via higher Kriya, not 1st Kriya + kechari. Please point me to a reference where he said that attainment of kechari in combination with 1st Kriya would be more powerful or efficient. You won't be able to find it, because he never wrote such a thing. You will however find many references to how higher Kriya (kechari + unique higher techniques) are more powerful and efficient then 1st Kriya.

"You are guessing the reason why and stating it as a fact but it is merely your opinion."

No, I am not guessing, and sure, all is opinion, but the difference in this case is that I am correct, and you are not. Paravastha is the gateway to Realization and paravastha can be experienced via 1st Kriya, without kechari ... that is why Lahiri said what he said. And it is also true that in the traditional system, kechari + the higher techniques was deemed more efficient than 1st Kriya.
