Why is that Jim, something particular happened ? If the mind does not need transcendence, is it not a good thing for the body ? though I do think Maharishi lives up to his name big time (aka great seer). So do I. Once at Buddha Yayanti we were on a boatride with Maharishi on the river Rhine. Looking at the beautiful full moon Maharishi was in a quiet mood, saying simply; "It is said that the Lord Buddha made 500 people enlightened. I think we will do better" I know it's not possible, for a number of reasons, to know how many has been enlightened by the grace of Maharishi and Guru Dev in the world today. But if you can and want to fill in on this, please do !
