Buddha gave up his austerities of yoga as impossible and useless. [Page.70/71 "Buddhism in Translation” by Warren]
Thus Buddha got enlightenment only after he gave up Yoga. Unless one exercises his reason--there is no chance of getting truth.
Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality. There is no doubt Buddha pointed out unreality of world. He told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech but not to Advaita fully.
The yogic chakras in Raja yoga is based on fact and fiction and physical based. It was noted that there were nervous plexuses and nodules at intervals in the spine and other parts of the body. Upon this basis, the Yogis started imagining that if the mind were concentrated on each one a different mystic result would be obtained. Yoga is mere individualized practice is not the means to acquire non dual wisdom. --FORMLESS PATH
