Do you wish to be an authoritarian parent, and set down the rules, which will not be questioned? Or, do you wish to be a more flexible type parent, that teaches in a freer way, like Socratic, say...
Obviously, the TM movement attracted many people who are authortain, and this is evident, in the inflexibility of 'fear based' decisions... Many organizations, mostly religious, in nature, subscribe to this inflexible attitude... It's sad, but sometimes, where real spirituality would free your spirit, some rigid rule based systems, restrict spirit, and keep people trapped, in their patterns, instead of expanding beyond their useless patterns... Bottom line: The whole philosophy, of going with the flow, and 'Spontaneous Right Action' is constantly being undermined, by people who are rigidly holding to the rules, without living from spirit...
