Not bloody likely. :-) Those who have bought into TM being "the highest teaching" would never lower themselves to try anything else. If they're right, they stick with the "highest teach- ing" forever, and avoid "lesser" techniques. If they're wrong, they stick with the first thing they learned and never learn anything more. The question would seem to be whether the sense of elitism is jutified, whether TM really is "the highest teaching" or merely the "ABCs" of spiritual practice, being *sold* as "the highest teaching." If it IS the "highest teaching," good deal... the practitioner has avoided wasting time with other techniques and teachings. If it's not, the practitioner spends an entire lifetime learning the alphabet while others have moved on to enjoying literature.
