I once met someone in Annapurna who was from an African country and had not yet learned.

Hence the enlightenment reportcard to try to catch people who aren't actualy doing TM but only saying they are. If you think TM induces measurable changes outside of the meditation period, then you believe the system works. If you think TM has no real effect on the physiology of meditators, then you assume that people will be able to game the system. Its only those who think that TM's effects are BAD but real, who should have a problem with this. AFterall, the students are at MUM ostensively because they've agreed to learn and practice TM while at MUM and the folks paying for their scholarships assume that they are telling the truth. Lawson
