What would be a reasonable time frame to test and if it doesn't work to say its not effective for that person?

   I think the very issue of spirituality is not for everyone. And this is not an issue, the way I understand it, different souls have a different curriculum. One might be a British Aristocrat who came to experience grandiosity and power, the other might be in an intellectual middle class family who came to experience the limits of science and/or academic knowledge or you might be attracted to hardship and financial struggle or even physical illnesses but the way I understand it, even these are serving some spiritual purpose. The Indian Yogi Sadh guru is said to have experienced three lifetimes as a slave to learn things like humility perhaps, we don’t really know these things. So being a dogmatic religious bigot is also something like that. It probably serves that person to live in a world that is 5000 years old and in which primates never evolved once they were created.

Right, these things are not known by anyone, not even, in this case, by Sadhguru. Three lifetimes? People tend to get overly specific when they're lying to you.
