Let's assume that's a fairly correct translation. It reminds me of what my TM teacher said (can't recall exactly when, but most likely during the first week after my initiation), para- phrasing: You won't become cool as a cucumber (because of TM). In fact, you might become more sensitive than before, but it doesn't affect(?) your ?self/Self? anymore. For instance, I'm sensitive "as an eyeball" to e.g. cigarette smoke. Also emotionally, I've become almost painfully sensitive. Furthermore, a cup of coffee nowadays makes me almost hypomanic, LoL! Used to drink 4 to 6 cups a day. What else? Some colors almost make me puke, or at least surprisingly irritated.
