What results clear is that following rigorously all Patanjali's steps and being able to attain correct darhana and dyhana is a huge effort, often twarted by the objective necessities to survive in this undeveloped modern society.

I believe that being  monk or nun would be the minimum requirement to have some hope to be successfull in Patanjali's steps.

Of course, the above rules out some direct intervention from God, or accumulated past good karma.

By the grace of God'and Guru and providing we show enough bona fide efforts  we may be given the necessary boost.

This goes Beyond the Patanjali's steps, I reckon.
