He responded, "for the same reason we sharpen swords." However as with many other traditions in the tantric tradition it is no big deal if you skip a meditation session. It might be more important if you are a neophyte but that is a whole topic to be saved for some other time. But if you are some place at a gathering rather than sneak off to meditate (as many of us did in our early days of TM) because you "must", just continue to enjoy the gathering.
Also Doug, the theme of this group is a gathering point for who have either practiced or taught TM and some who still do. I don't think we have anyone here who never practiced TM as they wouldn't have a core reason to be here. Perhaps Arhata was the only one I can think of other than a few spammer "drive bys." If they're no longer doing meditation of any kind they still have some experience to offer even if they don't keep their swords sharp.
