I can't speak for Vaj and Barry here, but you force me another time to respond to you in a thread. I am NOT an anti-TMer. I am not anti Maharishi. Vis a vis Robin, Maharishi is a shining light of clarity. Maharishi was a trickster, yes, he used deception, but I believe whatever he did, he deemed it necessary at the time, and he succeeded in making meditation popular, in putting so many people on the path, I also think that TM ultimately is a good technique - and you should know this, didn't I tell you that I recently initiated? So, with all critique, I see him in an overall way on the positive side. I think he was 'enlightened', yes, but I cannot prove it, and I don't think he was the most enlightened person of this century or history, nor that TM is the fastest way, or the best meditation technique. I just think that it is A technique, not the fastest, there indeed is no fastest path. There is no doubt at all, that I don't see the eastern path, Vedanta, or any of the related paths, as delusional. These statements are delusional, and I cannot imagine how anybody seriously involved on the path of Vedanta, could even give room to them. I can only congratulate Xeno for the brilliant exposition he just gave to Robin. There is nothing to be added to what he just said. This is true wisdom as against some pseudo-intellectual imposition. I will never understand, how you could fall for this stupidity.
