I used to think this way too, but then I got to know another guru just as enlightened as MMY. And guess what, the difference is in the personality, just like everybody else. Hardcore TMer's are, for the most part, so isolated from any other traditions and masters and so arrogant in their beliefs that they have the "highest" knowledge, that they view every wink, blink, and nod from MMY as "perfect." They fail to recognize the concept of laisha vidya, the remains of ignorance, and that Brahman functions "through" this laisha vidya. It's not a difficult concept but it forces you back on your own judgement which can be a difficult thing, especially when your guru starts going mad. -Peter > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
