Obviously, TMers who have not reached CC are still suffering and radiating that suffering into the environment through their thinking/feeling and behavior. It would be real silly to say that right from day one of TM one never did any wrong, eh? But CC is a state where that is possible, where one's behavior can't be life-damaging: "In the state of cosmic consciousness, however, when the individual mind gains the status of cosmic mind, then, of course, the intellect could be taken to be an adequate criterion for right and wrong; this criterion, however, is set on the level of the Being and not on that of intellectual understanding, thinking, discrimination or reasoning. Those whose consciousness is raised to the level of cosmic consciousness and function on right levels of life naturally do not ake in anything that may be wrong. Thus, in such a case, the question of a suitable criterion to judge right and wrong does not arise."
