Nature ensures great flexibility for the growth of good or evil in the atmosphere. But when an influence grows beyond elastic limits, nature will no longer sustain it; suddenly the breaking-point is reached." Prahlada's father had abused him for years to try to extinguish Prahlad's devotion to Vishnu, and apparently nature was silent, but when the breaking point was reached, nature roared out of the pillar as the man-lion Narasimha http://www.answers.com/topic/narasimha . It may seem that nothing is happening with the TMO, but there is a change taking place in world consciousness that will result in a change in the world's atmosphere, although you may not think anything at all is happening (not an unreasonable attitude given the appalling conditions around the world). You may think it's reasonable to attack these two organizations, the IMF and WTO, but when you consider the wealth of wrongdoing on the planet, this type of targeting obviously cannot work to improve the quality of life on earth. Only an elegant approach like TM has any chance of success, because only a simple and elegant approach could possibly deal with a multitude of problems (and since all problems arise from a lack of the energy and intelligence needed to resolve them, the consciousness expanding nature of TM can do the job).
