Right on, Brother Delta. Now, one could argue: well, what Deepak spouts are universal truths and neither he nor Maharishi owns such knowledge. And that would be true; but Deepak takes the WAY and the NUANCES of MMY's teachings and rips that off...and that's what I find objectionable. Take Muktananda, for example. I find him closest to MMY in terms of the things he says. BUT, Muktananda says it in his own way and with his own approaches. Not Deepak.
