Yes. >> >> Q. If someone is scheduling now to teach a course in a week or two >> should they teach that course? >> >> A. No. >> >> Q. Governor staff at Maharishi University of Management who are not >> faculty have asked if they desire to go and set up a Peace Palace >> what should be the priority? >> >> A: It is their choice. They are teachers. They should enjoy. >> >> Q. Many Citizen Sidhas have responded to Maharishi's call to >> establish Peace Palaces. Is the Recertification Course just for >> Governors? >> >> A. This is for Governors. This is for teaching. >> >> Q. Is the policy still that Citizen Sidhas can be Raja Designates >> for Peace Palaces? >> >> A. Yes. We will take Sidhas when Governors are not there to run the >> Peace Palaces. >> >> Q. A question has come up from someone who is an initiator who does >> not have the TM-Sidhi program. >> >> A. They should take the flying course and then become a teacher; not >> become teachers if they are not flying themselves. >> >> Q. A few Governors who want to become full-time have other job >> commitments that will take a few weeks to finish. >> >> A. Some weeks don't matter. Two months doesn't matter. What matters >> is their decision to get into this life of teaching, this life of >> long meditation. A few weeks here and there for their whole life >> doesn't matter. >> >> Q. Some Governors really want to be full-time but cannot cover their >> expenses on $2000 a month. Should they wait until there can be >> higher compensation? >> >> A. That higher compensation they have to generate. They should join >> us and not worry for a few months on this minimum thing. And if they >> have difficulties we tell them money will never be enough for >> anyone. So they have to do something. Movement is going to be >> wealthier. It is not going to be a poor Movement after 50 years. >> Tell them we are celebrating the Golden Jubilee. So don't worry. >> They should come on now. >> >> Success will be there because we are getting onto invincibility for >> the nation.

A couple who does not have children and husband works elsewhere >> would like the wife to work full-time. >> >> A. We tell the husband it is not that the wife is working full-time, >> 8 hours outside or inside. It is the long meditations of the wife. >> If he can stand the wife doing 3 hours of program in the morning and >> 3 hours of program in the afternoon, in addition to her teaching >> activities, then it is alright. >> >> In our principle, the success of activity belongs to the level of >> consciousness of the doer, of the actor, and the consciousness of >> the actor will be more integrated with three hours morning and >> evening.
