I understand, but by screaming at them if they are as ignorant as you are proclaiming, they will just heap scorn upon you, think you are crazy and go blithely about their ways. It honestly accomplishes nothing, except allowing you to vent.
I've thought long and hard about the perennial subtext of many messages here; if Maharishi is so enlightened, then why is the Movement [that he started] so awful? Perhaps it is because he and Guru Dev have set the goal of enlightening the world in one lifetime; obviating ~250 generations of ignorance times about 8 billion souls on the planet. That can't be easy! And who does he attract? Probably a lot of desperate people, who indulge in the same ignorant games within the Movement as they would've outside it. And at the same time, he must continue to move the ball forward so to speak; continue to enlarge the spread and breadth of his Knowledge, while maintaining its purity. I was fortunate in that I worked for the Movement for two and a half years when I really had nothing else to do, worked hard, earned my benefits, made my conclusions, and moved on. No money lost, learned the TM-Sidhis program and did lots of rounding. Salary was $5 to $25/month, room and board fit for a serf, but who cares, I wasn't in it for the money or power. I was aware there were people there, pretty clueless actually who were in it for their own aggrandizement (big fish in a little pond syndrome I call it). Whatever, that is their business and their problem and I'll have nothing to do with it. My advice (since you asked, ha ha)would be to just let it go.

I could just be a milksop sitting in the corner never standing for anything I believe in as well. Just taking the abuse like a beaten wife with stoicism. But that's not my way. I've been burned at the stake before by the Catholics who also were on a bogus power trip and nothing at all close to what Jesus was like or wanted to be like. More like what Constantine wanted.
