FWIW, I never heard there was anything "devotional" about doing TM regularly. It was supposedly a matter of the effect on the physiology, like the standard (not just in TM) recommendation to eat and go to bed at regular times. TM was also compared to brushing your teeth. It wouldn't make any sense to say, "If you don't feel like brushing your teeth then don't because nothing will be gained from brushing them."
