Here's a story from someone with MMY in the late 60's in India. They were dealing with Indian vendors, and being Americans, were getting nowhere, quoted outrageous prices. MMY kept on telling them to negotiate a lower price. Finally in frustration they told MMY it was impossible. MMY asked them if they had tried hitting the vendor. They all were aghast. Hit the vendor? MMY said yes, slap him. So they did and they got the prices they were looking for! Love that story. Anyone ever hear this one before?

according to another friend, MMY was conducting a course in INdia
while workmen were working on the ashram. One fine day, MMY noticed
that the builders were taking the 4th tea-break of the morning and
went over and "conversed" with them in high-pitched, angry Hindu. No-
one spoke a word of the language but they all knew exactly what he
was saying to them.

AFter a while, they grudgingly got up and went back to work.

My friend and her friends were horrified. They went "but Maharishi,
you always told us to speak gently and softly with everyone we dealt
with.

He replised: "Yes, but you have to speak to them in a language that
they can understand..."
