I, like millions of other meditators who have been fortunate enough to continue practicing TM, am basing my confidence in Vedic knowledge, of which TM is the core technology. There is no conception of MMY that interferes with my practice of TM and my appreciation of Vedic wisdom (and nothing MMY says contradicts what I have read in many thousands of pages of Vedic lit). > > -- and > > there's no possibility of disillusionment with MMY, because I am > > completely satisfied with my practice of TM and the Vedic wisdom that > > he has restated, > > Is the correlation really as tight as you assume? Could TM be as great as it > is yet MMY have a few screws loose? ********* MMY is a great saint, and people who are foolish enough to insult him are headed for a lower embodiment (I'll throw you a dog biscuit if you don't try to hump my leg): Vasistha: "They who...treat such holy men disrespectfully, surely invite great suffering." p. 34, http://tinyurl.com/6xndt MMY is a great saint, but even if you don't think so, you should recall what MMY said when people complained about the behavior of TM teachers: "Even a sick man can open a health food store." TM is a mechanical technique that does require any particular qualities of heart and mind on the part of the practitioner or the teacher (maybe a TM teacher would have to have an IQ of 60 or above, that's necessary for memorizing the checking notes, unless they were also autistic, in which case great feats of memorization are possible). A TM teacher memorizes a few simple instructions, and imparts them. That is the beauty of TM, the mechanical means to enlightenment, the only type available to people when they live at a low level of life. Questions about personal characteristics of anybody imparting a mechanical technique are a smoke screen for ignorant people who are uncomfortable with values of enlightenment.
