Maharishi was a Blazing Ball of Brahman. Jim's and Ravi's balls are smaller!

The following post is Turq taking advantage of a power outage at work that
disallows any work to have some fun. Be warned. :-)
Since both Jim and Ravi seem to be having some trouble understanding why some
here don't quite buy their claims of egolessness and enlightenment, I just
thought I'd 1) provide a short quote from Maharishi on the subject of the
speech of the enlightened, and 2) go back to look at only the first few words
(the ones that appear in Yahoo's Message View) of a few of the 64 posts they
made during the first 30 hours of this FFL posting week, during which they were
indulging in a bit of a "feeding frenzy" by dissing other FFL posters, all of
whom are coincidentally often described by Judy Stein as "TM critics" or
"anti-TMers," and all of whom (again coincidentally) are among the most
highly-placed on her own personal Enemies List and subjects of her own "sweet
speech."
Naturally, I will not include any of Judy's own language from the 24 posts she
made during the this "feeding frenzy" period, even though some of it is of the
same ilk, because after all, she has never made any claims of being
enlightened. Nor have any of the TM critics being talked about so sweetly
below. Jim and Ravi, on the other hand, both claim to be enlightened. You
decide.
>From Maharishi's The Science of Being and Art of Living:
"For speech to be harmonious, appropriate and suitable, thinking has to be
clear, sharp, and at the least, harmless -- and at the best, life-supporting to
the whole of the environment. ... This is the technique of the art of speaking:
that, although we are truthful in our thinking and speaking, the words that
come out must be pleasing, soft, and of good quality. ... The habit of speaking
pleasingly lies in cultivating that nature, that politeness, that softness and
kindness of heart that will not at any time produce harshness of speech. ...
Blessed are they who speak sweet words."

Re Turq: "Ravi, Joe has a similar control freak nature as Turq in this case -
no drinking on-line and get to bed on time dammit! These things are important."

lead such pathetic lives that their lives revolve around attacking TM. Its
quite obvious..."
