The dates of the "subsequent camp" at Ajol where the discourse(s) of ''[[Sadhana Sutra (साधना सूत्र)|Sadhana Path]]'' continued are unknown. As of this writing, the next known camp at Ajol began some eight months later, Feb 2, 1965. But as in ''[[Path of Self Realization]]'', there is a deeper unclarity than just uncertainty about a few dates. The edition notes for the 2001 Rebel edition hint at this: "In this edition the material is divided in 14 chapters, as in Path of Self Realization". Really? Divided? I thought ''PoSR'' was supposed to have new material from Ajol, not just a chopping up of what was already provided from Ranakpur. Or perhaps it does, but the 2001 Rebel Perfect Way is just chopped up and re-arranged to imitate ''PoSR''.
 
Some deep edition research is needed. FWIW, the Ranch edition explicitly does not have material from any subsequent camp, it is pure Ranakpur, just ten chapters from that camp alone, as in [[Osho Books on CD-ROM|the CD-ROM]]. So not all editions are created equal. And in fact, at 169 short pages, compared to the 226-229 for the 2001 and other editions, maybe it really is missing material the others have.

The dates of the "subsequent camp" at Ajol where the discourse(s) of Sadhana Path continued are unknown. As of this writing, the next known camp at Ajol began some eight months later, Feb 2, 1965. But as in Path of Self Realization, there is a deeper unclarity than just uncertainty about a few dates. The edition notes for the 2001 Rebel edition hint at this: "In this edition the material is divided in 14 chapters, as in Path of Self Realization". Really? Divided? I thought PoSR was supposed to have new material from Ajol, not just a chopping up of what was already provided from Ranakpur. Or perhaps it does, but the 2001 Rebel Perfect Way is just chopped up and re-arranged to imitate PoSR.

Some deep edition research is needed. FWIW, the Ranch edition explicitly does not have material from any subsequent camp, it is pure Ranakpur, just ten chapters from that camp alone, as in the CD-ROM. So not all editions are created equal. And in fact, at 169 short pages, compared to the 226-229 for the 2001 and other editions, maybe it really is missing material the others have. Stay tuned. -- doofus-9 (talk) 16:22, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
