Not necessarily. When my mother had me learn, I certainly wasn't motivated about the benefits of TM. It wasn't until I was older that I became curious about it, and even then I wasn't really motivated about it. It wasn't until about several practices 5 years after not practicing at all that I even felt anything. After that, then I became hooked. My brother had a similar story, except he never continued with the practice and gave it up entirely. My sister and I both became Siddhas. You're correct, sometimes it is a waste of time, but sometimes it isn't to teach someone who's not entirely interested. seekliberation
